If it gets that far then I'd imagine that it would attempt to flip. Although I do think I recall something said about not doing a flip to ensure that there's nothing that needs to be recovered. This would mean they don't need recovery ships in the area.

The flight profile here https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-2 does not say there will be a flip. But concludes with "Excitement Guaranteed". So anything could happen.
