The Fallout Season 2 finale, released on February 4, delivered shocking revelations and set up future storylines. Lucy discovers that her father's mind-altering device is powered by the head of Denise Welch, a politician from Cooper's flashbacks, who is still alive and begs Lucy to kill her. Lucy obliges. Hank plans to use the device on Lucy but is shot by the Ghoul, who leaves his fate to Lucy. Hank then activates the device on himself, wiping his memory before revealing he has agents in the Wasteland.
The Ghoul returns to the Lucky 38 casino and reactivates Mr House using cold fusion. House gives him a Pip Boy to locate his family, but their tubes are empty; a postcard to Colorado is left in his wife's place. The Ghoul abandons his deal with House and heads to Colorado. Flashbacks reveal he was arrested for opposing Vault-Tec and attended Hank and Stephanie's wedding.
Maximus and Thaddeus fight Deathclaws; Thaddeus loses an arm but helps Maximus with a shot. Backup from the New Californian Republic arrives, and Maximus reunites with Lucy at the Lucky 38. Lucy says she has started a war, and Maximus replies, 'Welcome to the Wasteland.'
Meanwhile, Macaulay Culkin's character Larry retrieves Caesar's body and finds a note naming no successor. Larry kills the claimant and takes over the Legion, now united and heading to Vegas to destroy other factions.
Lucy's brother Norm escapes Vault 31 after defrosting Vault-Tec executives. They try to kill him, but he accidentally releases giant Rad Roaches that kill most of them. Norm survives and makes his way to the surface.
