Minho and Thomas enter the maze again but could not find their way out of it like they had before.

The pattern that I noticed is that once the Gladers are able to do something, once they attempt at it again, it ends in defeat. This has happened when the Gladers have always requested the things that they needed from the box. But soon after Theresa came to the Glades, they were no longer able to get the supplies that they needed in order to survive. The same pattern comes up now because Minho and Thomas were able to escape the Grievers before, but now they are unable to exit the maze to save everyone. I predict that this pattern will eventually stop if Thomas is able to escape the maze.

Thomas and his other friends from the Glades are able to escape and land in the real world, where they discover that the place they've been living in was only a test. But in a letter that the head of the testing wrote, she said that a second trial was to take place.

Will this new trial include the survivors of the the first trial? Is she going to make any changes to the trials? Is she still going to continue to use the survivors for advice? In this real world that Thomas is in, is it more dangerous than the Glades? What is the head woman hiding from the survivors?
