What happens at the end of The Scorch Trials?
At the film's end, Thomas and the surviving Gladers reach the Right Arm resistance camp, only for WCKD to launch a devastating raid. Teresa is revealed to have betrayed the group by alerting WCKD to their location. The film closes on a cliffhanger as Thomas vows to take the fight directly to WCKD.
Why does Teresa betray Thomas in The Scorch Trials?
Teresa contacts WCKD and reveals the Right Arm's location because she believes WCKD's mission — harvesting immune subjects to develop a cure for the Flare virus — is ultimately justified.

What is Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials about?
After escaping the Maze, Thomas and the Gladers discover WCKD's true agenda and flee into the Scorch — a sun-scorched wasteland overrun by Cranks, humans infected with the deadly Flare virus. Pursued relentlessly, they seek out the resistance group known as the Right Arm in hopes of finally fighting back.
