Fallout finale explained: Everything about the big twist at the end, 2 Easter eggs and what happens next in season 2

It’s no wonder some sci-fi fans are confused by the Fallout ending. Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Who caused the end of the world? Why has person X already lived 200 years? We have compiled all available explanations for the end of season 1 of the Amazon series.

Be careful, there are a lot of spoilers ahead!

What is the situation at the end of Fallout Season 1?

Fallout Season 1 follows the three main characters Lucy (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Moten) and the ghoul/Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins). Ex-bunker resident Lucy is looking for her father (Kyle MacLachlan), who was kidnapped by the bandit boss Moldaver (Sarita Choudhury).

Check out the latest trailer for Fallout here:

Maximus, a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, is responsible for the death of a comrade and wants to redeem himself by finding the head of the scientist Wilzig (Michael Emerson), whom his brothers are after. But when he gets to know Lucy, they both decide to go to a quiet bunker as a couple at the next opportunity.

As a bounty hunter, the ghoul is initially only interested in Wilzig’s head. But as we learn through flashbacks, he knows many of the actors in the dystopian present from the past. And he has a bone to pick with them.

What’s the big twist in the Fallout Season 1 finale?

And so all factions end up meeting in Moldaver’s headquarters, the crumbling observatory above Los Angeles. Lucy brings her Wilzig’s head in exchange for her father. Maximus shoots his way through the front door with a rough horde of Brothers of Steel. And the ghoul emerges from the shadows, kills his opponents and keeps his motives largely to himself. But the The most important scene takes place before the whole massacre.

Moldaver reveals to Lucy that her supposedly perfect father responsible for the nuclear annihilation of an entire city is. When Lucy’s mother fled the dark secrets of her bunker company with her child to the city of Shady Sands, he pursued her, took their daughter away from her and destroyed their new home with a nuclear strike. The bomb killed many thousands of people and turned Lucy’s mother into a horribly disfigured ghoul. But that’s not all.

In a flashback to Cooper Howard’s past, we learn that the bunker operators from the company Vault-Tec Nuclear war that devastated the world started itself have. And that’s just to make money from their bunkers, which would have been useless without destruction and contamination. And that’s not all: Howard’s wife Barb (Frances Turner), actually one of the warmest characters in the series, is one of the architects of the horrifically cruel act.

2 Easter Eggs hint at Fallout Season 2

In the end, the first season ends on a sobering note for all characters. Moldaver dies in a hail of bullets, Lucy follows her escaped father with the ghoul, who could lead her to the masterminds of the Vault-Tec conspiracy.

Maximus misses Lucy and with her the chance to start a new life. Instead, he is awarded the death of Moldaver, his Promotion to knighthood seems to be imminent. But the advancement that was so important to him before lost meaning after meeting Lucy.

In the final scene we see Lucy’s father fleeing through the desert. There are two Easter eggs for fans of the games to discover here. The smaller one is the skull of a so-called Deathclaw in the desert sand. The iconic and extremely dangerous creature represents the Fallout franchise like no other.

The bigger Easter egg is the city that Lucy’s father is heading towards. Based on the skyline, it is for fans easy to identify as New Vegas, the setting of the popular video game spin-off of the same name. And apparently also the setting for the second Fallout season.

Fallout Season 2 must answer these more open questions

Additionally, there are many issues that need to be resolved in Season 2. What happens next with Lucy’s brother Norman (Moises Arias), who discovered the secret of his bunker? All of his bunker’s leaders are actually Vault-Tec managers from the past, artificially frozen in a secret area and thawed when necessary. This also includes his father. At the end of Season 1, Norman is imprisoned in Bunker 31 by some kind of robot.

Goggins’ Cooper Howard will grow on many fans in Season 1. Season 2 needs to show how he became a ghoul. And what happened to his family during the nuclear apocalypse. There are also some detailed questions: Why was Moldavian able to survive for more than 200 years? At least, unlike Howard, she hasn’t become a ghoul. The series makers have not yet given an answer to this.
