While episode 3 had fans pumped up with a resounding explosion, unexpected betrayals, and characters pushed to their limits, the series Fallout is about to unveil a decisive new chapter. Episode 4 is fast approaching, and the stakes have never been higher in the Wasteland.
Summary of episode 3 of Fallout season 2: between betrayals and revelations
Entitled “The Spendthrift”, episode 3 marked a major turning point for the three protagonists. Lucy, now a prisoner of the Legion, discovers the internal tensions of an empire at war with itself. Crucified after a failed attempt at mediation, she owes her survival only to the intervention of the Ghoul, who concludes an ambiguous deal with Caesar.
For his part, the Ghoul reveals an unexpected part of humanity by saving Lucy and sabotaging the Legion headquarters with dynamite. While at Area 51, Maximus rebels against the Brotherhood’s brutal authority and kills Harkness to prevent a massacre of ghoul children. An act that could trigger an internal war. The episode also offered moving flashbacks to Cooper Howard and his doubts before the nuclear disaster. The weight of the past has never weighed so heavily on the present.

What should we expect in the next episode of Fallout?
Episode 4 should continue the direct consequences of the previous one. First, the Legion, weakened by the explosion and the betrayal of the Ghoul, could fall into an open war between the two pretenders to the title of Caesar. Lucy, weakened but still standing, could play a central role in this divide.
The Ghoul appears to have a plan, and its deal with the Legion remains unclear. Is he really going to hand over the remains of the NCR, or does his gesture hide another strategy? Cooper Howard’s past continues to resurface, and the clash between ancient ideals and the realities of the Wasteland intensifies.
On the Brotherhood of Steel side, Maximus will have to face the consequences of his actions. Did he sign the end of his alliance with the Brotherhood? Episode 4 could mark the start of a new conflict, or an improbable alliance.
