If it lands on earth without problems, Boeing will claim that it had been maligned all along. If it blows up on reentry, Boeing will claim that NASA made them leave it parked in space much longer than designed.

Best option is if it 'accidentally' veers toward Mars and sends back a ton of useful telemetry.
