Rank the prank, TV show
Context: Two boys are about to prank their teacher. And this is what they say to the viewers before the prank happens.
= Our prank target is our drama teacher Phil.
< ----- >
= Phil deserves to get pranked because he always pranks us. So we want to pull the ultimate prank on him.
= In a million years, he would never guess we were going to prank him.
I don't quite understand the grammar of this sentence. Is this a conditional "would"? And what about "were going to" following it?
