“The Demon in the Snow”

Those poor ghoul Elvis impersonators. They did not last long against a drugged up Lucy.

I know that was a strange sentence, but that is what happened in Fallout’s fourth episode. After having a drug treatment for several days to heal her up, Lucy found the dark side and brutally killed a bunch of Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas. Even the Ghoul couldn’t help but be impressed.

However, we also wind up face-to-face with the creature that we saw in a flashback with Cooper. After looking it up, I guess it is called a Deathclaw, which had been created by the US government as super soldiers (why don’t they ever knock that off. I mean, only Steve Rogers is worthy enough).

In that flashback, I kind of thought it was the reason Cooper turned into a ghoul, but maybe I did not understand the scene correctly. Either way, this thing is intimidating. Even drugged up Lucy was taken aback by it.

Meanwhile, Maximus revealed that he had killed Xander over a bunch of kids who were ghouls (there were normal kids in that group as well. I am not sure why he omitted that part) and set off a horrible fight between the differing sides. Maximus and Thaddeus (who had been pretending to be Xander inside his mech-suit) escaped as the war escalated in the background between the Brotherhood of Steel and the Commonwealth.

I have not been sure about what is happening back in the Vault as pertains to Vault 32. This is a story arc that I am having a hard time following.
