 > Who does not know what an onion service is?

 > An onion service is simply a web site that is addressed via the tor
 protocol.  The browser connects to the onion service through 3
 intermediate nodes, **the final of the three is an exit node.**

 NO

 >Likewise the response goes through the 3 intermediate nodes of which
 **the third is an exit node**.

 NO

 That's not how onion services work.

 https://www.torproject.org/docs/onion-services.html.en

 The rendezvous point (RP) is not an exit node. It does not get to see
 plain-text.

 There are **NO** exit nodes involved when you talk to onion services.
 There are **NO** relays capable of seeing plain-text traffic.
