If CST join RP, and his wife lose PP.
Most likely the legacy of CST shall end.
With his failing health, he shall no longer and be retired.

No worries. When CST is about to be lowered to his grave, he will wake up to right the wrong.
Actually it is time for him to retire.
His kind of politics isnt making sinkieland a better place. At first he was found wanting in SDP, forced to resign as the CEC could not get along with his high-handleness.
Now the SDA committee disapproved of his sacking of sec-gen Desmond Lim. Another blow to his prestige. His dictatorial ways again is the problem.
Unlike the great JBJ, this man hasnt the courage to stand in a GRC until he is on one leg. Spore can do away with such a boh lumpar man. No different from the PAP MPs!
CST on the other hand continues to fight a one-man battle, as he always has done. Hope his wife can take over his mantle soon. I'm sure she has learnt a lot from behind the scenes too. Now lets see whether she can deliver the goods.
After that spat with Desmond, Lina will lose hands down to Sitoh if there is a one-on-one. So will Desmond, for that matter. Very likely Chiam despite all his rhetoric, will stand again in PP. Watch this space.
The end of CST in politics is not near. It's well past that "near" stage. It's there and finished, whatever course CST takes next. That's objectively speaking from the situation. Personal opinion-wise, I was one of his supporters during his younger days but I wouldn't apply double standards. I'm against LKY staying on too long. I'm against CST doing that too.
It will be a major loss of face for Chiam to go crawling back to PP, but you could be right.
That's why he needs to team up with KJ/RP urgently. That is his only hope of snagging a GRC. At this point, Desmond can be made totally irrelevant if Chiam decides.
Truth be known, images of CST now a days aren't really that flattering. To a voter, they would seriously question his ability to actually lead actively.
It's not only a matter of snagging a GRC. That's not possible. They'll lose whatever the team and wherever they contest. But losing in a GRC and bowing out is certainly much more face-saving that losing in PP.
