Well, it doesn't explain how Zesh has descendants. The ending is kind of ambiguous, though with a more definite outcome than that of the original Qeios. For one thing, Lee only just met the girl and doesn't get much time to know her before possilby getting blown up with the nuke, and for another, she's quite clearly one of "the Gifted". And the only person in the series with "the Gift" is Andre. I guess it might not be genetic since Audrey doesn't seem to have it, so I'm not sure which way to go with that. In any case, I don't think the Guardians would let someone come to power who could potentially have the gift. Then again, that could be why they were so concerned with getting rid of her... No, no, this is getting too complicated and I doubt Rivatha has it. But at the same time, it's pretty much the only explanation I can think of, even if parts of it don't add up. Wait, how did they even set up a monarchy? They're in a mostly-underground walled city/nuclear bunker in what they believe to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland with - essentially - Combine OverWatch as their police, military, etc. Why would they need a figurehead monarchy? Wouldn't a politician be easier to control? Then again, I guess families are more likeable than politicians, they'd have a KuwtK or The Osbournes-style setup so that the citizens can check out what the royalty are doing. Royal Reality TV! Wow, how did I get here? My point is, there are holes aplenty in the surrogate story I've got written out, and the biggest one is: Zesh's childrenseseseses.

Anyway, here's the endings:

Ending 1: Rivatha wakes up in a room with Rothlyn, who comforts her. She tries to tell him about all the things she’s seen outside; he tells her that it was all a toxin-induced hallucination, and that she’s lucky to be alive. As they embrace, the camera pans out to reveal they are in fact in a prison cell.

Ending 2: Rivatha wakes up in a room, unable to move, with a sinister man standing over her, who boasts that she never had any real power of her own, before taking her somewhere unknown, apparently to find out firsthand the truth about Qeios, and not in a good way…

Ending 3: Having defeated the Qeios guards, Rivatha, Jasper and the crew continue on the road to Qeios.

Ending 4: No resolution.

Ending 5: Where were Audrey and Andre when the others were cornered?
