What’s Happening

So basically ” A- Fallout finds power in little moments, big lizards, and some highly addictive drugs “Got any cigarettes?

” William Hughes — By William Hughes | | 3:00am Photo: Lorenzo Sisti/Prime TV Reviews Fallout Copy to clipboard × Copy Link Copy Link — Facebook X Reddit Bluesky Email 0 “ I dont choose to do the things I have to do. ” Delivered buddy Maximus—with a helplessness wobbling in his voice that’s clearly outvoting the gun that’s wobbling in his hand—it’s a fascinating line to contemplate at the top of a Fallout episode that’s all about power. (and honestly, same)

And its power of all kinds, as we spend the best episode of the show’s second season so far coming face to face with concepts like firepower, bargaining power, political power, informational power, and, of course (possibly most importantly!

The Details

) the incredible, life-affirming power of hard drugs being ingested in highly inadvisable quantities. That’s the power Lucy MacLean’s riding high off of, at least, with veteran writer Jane Espenson delivering Ella Purnell a lovely little character beat to work through here as Lucy struggles—if that’s the word for something quite this gleeful—throughout this episode with a newfound addiction to Wasteland steroid Buffout.

Our young Vault Dweller has picked up this fresh new monkey hanging off her back courtesy, in a roundabout fashion, of The Ghoul, who dragged Lucy to the NCR holdouts he met last week after her little crucifixion episode, who then hooked her up to a drip of the stuff to keep the young MacLean alive. Purnell, who’s yet to face a Fallout comedy challenge she couldn’t master, manages to play her new jones up for both humor and discomfort, as when she pivots nearly instantly from declaring an attempt to go cold turkey to a slightly fevered “What’cha got there—oh gosh, it didn’t take, I’m addicted to drugs” when she sees her partner rooting around in his bag for her next fix.
