The only possible explenation I would accept (not happily either) for Joker flying the Normandy through the Mass relay at the end would be if one of my team mates (Tali, Garrus or Liara) mentioned that they need to rescue Shepard from the citadel, "Lets go to Ilos and use the conduit to get back in there!" to which Joker says "Why didnt we think of that sooner?" and they proceed to fly through the relay towards Ilos, at which point the pretty colored explosion catches the Normandy mid relay jump.
