Warning: Spoilers
This episode was full of movement and puzzle pieces coming together. Lucy and Maximus escape Vault 4 and dive right back into the surface, which oddly enough is the safer place to be at this point. We see Thaddeus struggling with the head and his injury, opting to leave Dr. Wilson's dog behind. As he journeys to find a place where he can access his coms and radio into base, he stumbles upon a character we've previously been introduced to who becomes an unlikely ally and helps him in his quest. When he's directed to head to a nearby town with a tower he runs into Lucy and Maximus who realize there is something incredibly different about Thaddeus. They bargain to return the head for him to the Brotherhood to give him a way out. As he's no longer the same.

We see a growth moment with Lucy and Maximus here. He gives Lucy a bit of leverage to find her father and promises to unite with her in Vault 33 when this is "all over".

The flashbacks continue with The Ghoul/Coop and they are more revealing than before. Showing his growing displeasure of Vaultech, he opts to attend a meeting with a very powerful figure and is asked to spy on the company. It is the beginning of what appears to be a tumultuous relationship.

Back at Vault 33, dwellers are assigned and reassigned between Vault 32 and 33 and we see the rift between Norm and Chet with Chet leaning into the changes and Norm doing the opposite.

At the end we see him opting to leave 33 and pursue his idea on a whim. Will it be fruitful? Is it a trap? This episode is a great lead in to the season finale! What a time to be alive --- literally.
