“The Profligate”

We get more partnership this week from Maximus and Xander, a bonding trip as it were. They were able to team up inside their own giant robot suits and to take out a robot. Since I am not a fan of the video game, I was unaware that the robot was a big time cameo named Victor. Victor came across Ghoul earlier, but I was unaware of the video game connection until I did the research afterwards. Maximus and Xander were able to destroy Victor, apparently bringing his story to an end.

However, the group of kids (some ghouls, some normal) led to Maximus taking out Xander to protect the kids. This will mostly likely lead to war between the Brotherhood and the Commonwealth, which has been showing problems throughout the episode. Kumail Nanjiani, we hardly knew ye!

Macaulay Culkin appeared as part of the Legion, what seemed to be the right hand man of Caesar. Lucy came across them first and they hung her on a cross. The Ghoul arrived later, after cutting the venom from the scorpion sting from last episode out of his leg. The Ghoul made a deal with the men for her release, but seemingly betrayed them. The Ghoul, taking to his dog, said that he did not like Lucy, but they would need her later.

I do have a tough time following the story. I should pay a closer attention to the episode when I am watching it because I do not have a deep knowledge of the video game. Still, I catch the larger parts of the show and I am progressing with it, slowly.
