Obsessed with the way Lucy talks to Hank in this scene

I need to know more about Rose Maclean so badly. What was her life like growing up in the vault? What were her hobbies? Was Chet's father her younger or older brother? What was her marriage with Hank like before she found out the kind of person that he is? I WANT TO KNOWWW

Imagine Hank agreeing to not implant a black box in your neck…

…as long as you let him watch you get bent over a desk by Wastelanders who have been microchipped, at his leisure.

Hank's wedding ring being visible in this scene actually makes me a little sick like this is moments before he's revealed to have murdered his wife and they're showing us his ring

Imagine Lucy leaving Hank behind but when it's revealed he bombed Shady Sands and that she's his daughter the NCR kinda distrust her because she let him go (maybe even cooperating with him). Sure she can tell them about the mindwipe but they can also not believe her

As far as we know, the only people who know he was the one who did it are Lucy, Max, and Cooper. Cooper has exited stage right for the time being, so that leaves Lucy and Max, and I don't see Max revealing that information without Lucy's permission.

Lucy, with her need to be honest, might spill the beans herself, maybe to Captain Rodriguez. I could see her confiding in the captain in the hopes of keeping Hank safe, maybe? Or maybe Lucy would use him as an example of what the chips can do, so she can warn Rodriguez about what he'd set in motion.

If the truth does come out, I think it'll be by accident, or maybe during an emotionally charged moment. Maybe during a disagreement between Lucy and Max about what ought to be done with Hank, or somehow Thad finds out and he brings it up at an inopportune moment or as a kind of 'gotcha' where he's trying to prove Lucy isn't as good a person as Max thinks.

Whatever happens, I think Lucy is going to have to accept that her father's fate may not be up to her alone.

Honestly hank is a fascinating character and he pisses me off so so much lmao

The scenes in s2 where Lucy finally faces him again especially get me. He spent her whole life telling her she was so smart, so special, so good, yet when she opposes him he's so condescending. Underestimating her.

If he had taken her seriously at all, then he wouldn't have handed her those cuffs. Wouldn't have given her the chance to interfere with his work. If he believed in her even a fraction of what he claimed to, he would have chipped her before she ever woke up.

and obviously he didnt care about her beyond her being 'his'. If he did he would never even consider chipping her.

He makes for such a good antagonist, because i want to wring his fuckin neck lmao

My favorite thing about the Fallout TV show is that Hank and Cooper are both wrong about everything and the narrative keeps proving that.
