* BittersweetEnding: The Royal Family is able to expose Maximus' treachery with the dome and save the Inhuman population. Black Bolt spares Maximus and reclaims the throne, promising to make changes to the Inhumans' society. However, Maximus' failsafe irreparably damaged Attilan's protective dome, forcing the Inhumans to evacuate to Earth. Eldrac is able to evacuate the population, but had to be left behind himself. Maximus is spared, but he's trapped in Attilan's bunker for the rest of his life. While Gorgon is alive, his self-control is slipping, and Karnak has to live with the consequences, including Dr. Declan's death. Also, the Inhumans now depend on the patronage of Callisto Aerospace's mysterious "Boss", with unknown intentions. Worst of all, Black Bolt reveals that there is another enemy to the Inhumans, something alien.
