LAS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In HBO's political drama 'The Regime,' Elena Vernham's (Kate Winslet) political odyssey will ultimately arrive at its climax in the series finale.

The show delves into the life of Elena, the chancellor of a fictional Central European country, as she endeavors to solidify her authoritarian grip on power, aided by her disgraced army boyfriend, Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts).

In the last episode of the series, Elena flees for her palace as rebel troops infiltrate her palace to topple her authority.

Elena's ultimate loss of control over her position of power in the last episode, as rebel troops seize possession of her palace, serves as a poignant element of the series' narrative.

After getting abandoned by her ministerial council, she escapes through a tunnel with Herbert, leaving her son Oskar (Louie Mynett) behind on the palace grounds.

In addition, the devoted palace manager Agnes (Andrea Riseborough) dies in a devastating moment as a bait to save Oskar.

Now at the mercy of Herbert after narrowly escaping being torn apart by the Westage soldiers, Elena faces a precarious situation given Herbert's aggressive tendencies, which could pose a threat to her well-being.

Additionally, there's the possibility that she will be captured by the Westgate Army and brought to justice, or she could engineer a dramatic comeback.

Furthermore, there's a chance that Nicholas Vernham (Guillaume Gallienne) may return to save his wife. Despite Elena choosing to pursue a relationship with Herbert, the husband-wife duo still share a strong bond.

Additionally, the military may capture Oskar, who is left alone on the palace grounds, and will use the young kid to subjugate Elena.

However, considering Elena's past, it is difficult to believe that she would sacrifice herself for the boy.
