A subject of an adjective to-infinitive phrase

Question

Coming to a natural conclusion has nothing to do with sales or any other outside factors. Eventually, the monthly series will end and Adam's story will reach its climactic conclusion in a dramatic and satisfying way, and to have that end point to work toward is simply good storytelling. And despite what the solicitation for #25 states, I never said that the last issue was definitively #36. As we get closer to that climax, Tom and I together will determine how and when we'll wrap it up, and which issue we'll be wrapping it up in.
Having said that, I see the whole thing as more of a transition. I just can't see the end of the monthly series being the end of all things Gødland.

I'd like to know what is the subject of "to work toward" in the text.

Thank you in advance for your help.

In the sentence, "to work toward" has an adjectival function and modifies "that end point."  This is like saying:  "...to have that anticipated end point is simply...", where the word "anticipated" functions much like "to work toward."

So, I think the subject is the implicit authors.
