Ha ha! Nowhere of course. The offset is intended to provide lateral separation from other traffic on the same track while descending.

There's at least an even chance you'll be changing course for a diversionary alternate or return anyway. I did not mean to imply that one must continue on the offset track once the descent is completed. If a real emergency, going direct might be most appropriate.
