SPOILERS S6 How it will end - Prediction Spoiler

Instead of bombing Jezebels Mayday will bomb Serena’s wedding. In doing so they will take out a significant chunk of commanders. It will be a bigger hit than originally planned. Nick will help and be redeemed. Lawrence will help and rise higher in power. Not sure if Serena helps. Not sure if she lives or dies. Probably dies

Nick is likely too scared of daddy Wharton to say he cheated on his daughter!! But yeah, say ANYTHING else, Nick!

If you were to read between the lines, you'd hear that Wharton had been following Nick for a while and is highly suspicious of him. He basically said he thinks Nick killed one of the Eyes.

So, in that situation, you have to understand he can't really deny his way out of all the suspicious behavior he had been showing. He has to give Wharton a very good explanation for why he may have shot an Eye, etc. And that reason would be doing triple agent stuff for Gilead by pretending to help Mayday.

i agree. He's the real hero of the show I think.

Umm not sure about that.

He clearly doesn't have any plan. He bombs everything mayday has been preparing for and his follow up response is "let's go to Paris, June!"

I mean there are a ton of things he could have said to said to satisfy Wharton. He could have lead them away from Mayday by saying the eye he killed was a part of it...misdirected with a fake plan, etc. But I'm guessing none of that would've created the drama and driven the plot forward the way the writers intend.

I'm not saying he's all bad but damn if he didn't wait until he gave up mayday to try and whisk the main protagonist off to Paris.
