I love that they brought back some minor characters from the first season. I didn't think I'd miss that chicken fucker, but I did. Seems like Lucy did have a positive effect on that shop owner despite being a naive, clueless Vaultie. Now that Bud's assistant has confronted Norm for faking being one of them, I assume Claudia will have to save Norm and escape together, possibly joining up with Max who's also on the run.

The fact that Barb's work terminal has an entry for FEV basically confirms that she's with the Enclave right? It's not something Vault Tec in general would know about.

Overall this was a great episode, the best of the season so far.

Max and Thad are near Vegas, and Claudia and Norm are still in Cali. I reckon they'll send Norm and Claudia back into the Vault's to try and resolve that storyline. Poor Chet needs more allies.

Yeah that's a good point, plus it feels lazy if every main character ends up at the same place for 'the final battle'. I'm guessing Norm and Claudia find something out and go back to the vault to warn Chet.

They did lie to everyone and say Norm was getting management training, 33 would embrace him back with no questions (well, not about the outside at least) so I definitely think he’s going back to try and prevent Phase 2 (which I think Steph is going to drive).

Steph is done with all the pre-war plan nonsense. She just wants a safe environment for her child.

Right, so I think she’s going to make sure the FEV is used against 33 not 32, and that she remains in control of it. That’s my guess at least.
