What will happen next (unfortunately superheroine)?


Obviously, after such a huge success they will have to do an unneeded second season.
The greedy bastards will never resist the temptation of lots of money and leave a good thing alone.

I predict these events:
Beth becomes a spy. Borgov has written a cliche "please take me to America" message in the king she got. But she's gonna struggle with drinking and authority as always.
The spying will affect her game and love life.
She will face the new russian champion, stronger than Borgov and evil, and she will have to defeat him as part of her cover up.
She will also sides with the Russians, not as a traitor but as a "the US government wants me to do this x unfair thing, but I'll pretend to do it and do the opposite because I know better than them and I'm not that loyal an agent".
Of course she will bang Townes but she will screw up the relationship, possibly because of the pressure of the espionage or as part of it, and leave him at the altar.
Billy reveals himself as a double agent.

What I'm getting at is that this first season was NOT a nice underdog story of a female prodigy in a very male world. It is instead a freakin origin story of a superhero.
