Lawrence's uprising raizes the last remaining civilized city, and though WCKD attempts to evacuate in order to keep pursuing a cure, Janson killing Paige - then being killed by Cranks - seemingly leaves the organization in chaos. In the third act of The Death Cure, the actual cure becomes somewhat secondary to the other crises playing out. When Thomas learns this, he and his friends escape and search out the Right Arm. At the start of The Scorch Trials, Thomas and his friends are housed at a facility with survivors of other Maze experiments, but they soon learn it's actually run by WCKD, which they believed they had escaped. In a later scene, Paige reveals to fellow WCKD scientists that the first phase of their experiment was a success, as the teens move into phase 2. The Gladers are told they're part of an experiment looking for a cure. At the end of the first movie, Ava Paige appears on a video screen and explains to the Gladers that Earth was devastated by a solar flare, and then humankind's already dwindling numbers were ravaged by the Flare virus. Since Thomas and the rest of the Gladers were put into the Maze after having their memories wiped, they didn't discover the purpose for the Maze until after they had escaped. The Maze Runner 3 ending explained crucial mysterious elements from the previous films, while the concepts of the Flare and the cure weren't truly introduced until the end of The Maze Runner.
