I know we've had rather light-hearted discussions about this before, with most people agreeing that Oppy is likely to end her days inside or on the edge of Victoria Crater, simply because there's nothing else to investigate within reach, but has Steve S got it in his mind that Oppy will head off somewhere else after Victoria?

The rover spent a heck of a lot of time getting to Victoria. In the absence of a new target at an easily attainable distance, it doesn't make any sense to me to leave the crater until the potential science there is exhausted. For what? More endless Sols over a trackless dune field? And in return, we'll sacrifice many sols of in-depth analysis of the layered rock of Victoria from inside the craters?
