Fallout - The Trap / The Radio

Setting up the season finale, “The Trap” and “The Radio” look both to the past and to the future. Flashbacks show us more of Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins) steering even stronger into his promotions for Vault-Tec, despite his discomfort at being their spokesman, in order to please his wife (Frances Turner). A conversation with a friend, his wife letting comments slip about the “good” vaults and why no dogs will be allowed, and a conversation with the woman who would become Lee Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury) force Cooper to begin questioning whether or not Vault-Tec is a good thing and even spying on his wife where he will eventually discover, to his horror, the lengths the company will go to in order to make their product a success.

Fallout - The Past

Life in Vault 33 and vault history are a big part of the aptly titled “The Past.” Betty (Leslie Uggams) wins the overseer election leading Norm (Moises Arias) further down a rabbit hole after he discovers every overseer ever elected came from Vault 31 and whatever tragedy happened in Vault 32 seems to point to that direction as well. The division of the Vault 33 inhabitants leads some to relocated to the refurbished 32 (which has been sanitized completely from the shit show that Norm observed).

Fallout - The Head / The Ghouls

“The Head” and “The Ghouls” offer us the short-term forced team-up of the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) and Lucy (Ella Purnell) who he tracks down but only after she’s lost the scientist’s head to a water beast. The two together is the highlight of the two episodes, which do take a slight dip here compared to the rest of the season. We also get a pairing for Maximus (Aaron Moten) who, while still pretending to be Titus, is given a new squire in Thaddeus (Johnny Pemberton) who he will need to keep his identity secret from. On the trail of Lucy, the pair find the same water beast, defeating it and claiming the head, perhaps giving Maximus a bit too much confidence he can continue to pull of this rouse.
