{{Spoiler|Chell, and GLaDOS return to find the facility in chaos. Several core meltdowns are in progress while Wheatley has been busy modifying the test chambers to his liking, including constructing [[Frankenturrets]] - crudely made walking Turret/[[Weighted Storage Cube]] hybrids. They confront Wheatley and GLaDOS attempts to shut him down by presenting him with a {{W|logical paradox}}. It fails as he nonchalantly provides a false answer, apparently too stupid to understand it. The Frankenturrets, however, short-circuit, humorously indicating that they are smarter than Wheatley. Having Chell and GLaDOS back in his clutches, Wheatley forces them to carry out his tests, revealing the need to test is an 'itch' hardwired into the AI system. Initially, Wheatley is satisfied with the testing but soon the euphoria of watching Chell and GLaDOS being tested wears off, as he builds up a resistance to the euphoric response. Growing frustrated with them, Wheatley hints he has found other test subjects ([[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]) and that he has a 'surprise to die for' coming soon. He unleashes his surprise early when Chell steps on a booby-trapped [[Aerial Faith Plate]], which transports Chell and GLaDOS to a platform surrounded by spiked crushing plates.}}

{{Spoiler|Escaping the trap, Chell and GLaDOS make their escape through the inner facility, avoiding Wheatley's attempts to kill them. They come across a room containing rejected corrupted cores and GLaDOS formulates a plan. She stays behind to carry it out while Chell makes her way to Wheatley's lair for the final confrontation, where he reveals the facility will self-destruct in six minutes. They do battle and during its course, Chell manages to attach 3 corrupted cores onto Wheatley. This results in a core corruption of 100% and the Announcer intervenes to initiate a core transfer. GLaDOS inserts herself as the substitute core and hurries Chell to press the stalemate resolution button. Wheatley, anticipating this outcome, has booby-trapped the button and it explodes as Chell attempts to press it. She survives the explosion, to the disdain of Wheatley. With the last of her strength, she grabs the Handheld Portal Device and shoots a portal at the Moon's surface. The resulting portals cause everything in the room to be sucked into the vacuum of space, including Chell, but she manages to hang on by grabbing hold of the panicking Wheatley. GLaDOS uses a mechanical arm to detach Wheatley from his body, who is then sucked into space and pulls Chell back through before closing the portal. Chell wakes up later to find a worried [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] watching over her and GLaDOS back in her body and back in charge of the facility. She thanks Chell for helping her find the Caroline inside her, before promptly deleting all traces of her. She reveals she has become weary of trying to kill Chell, and that the best course of the solution is to give Chell what she wants: her freedom. She sends Chell on her way to the surface, where along the way she is serenaded by a [[Turret Opera]]. Reaching the top, a door opens, and Chell steps out into a picturesque sunny cornfield where the door promptly shuts behind her. Taking in her freedom, GLaDOS surprises Chell by throwing out the Weighted Companion Cube she incinerated in ''Portal'' and the door down to the facility is closed shut.}}
{{Spoiler|The game ends with a wistful Wheatley floating aimlessly in space, admitting if he was able to go back, he would say he was sorry.}}
