Prime Video’s Fallout is known for its captivating visuals, performances, and thrilling story. The post-apocalyptic drama is based on the video game series of the same name but introduces various twists and turns that make it stand out.
The show is set in the year 2296, where a nuclear war has wreaked havoc and people have taken shelter in bunkers called Vaults, unaware that they are being subjected to sociological and psychological experiments.
Meanwhile, a girl named Lucy leaves her Vault and steps into the outside world to search for her missing father. The first season ends with several unanswered questions, some of them being the mysteries of Vaults 31, 32, and 33, Moldaver's background, and what the Brotherhood of Steel is planning with Cold Fusion.
Thankfully, Fallout has already been renewed for season 2, so here are 5 plot points that need to be resolved in the next season.
5 plot points that should be resolved in Fallout Season 2
1) The mystery of Vaults 31, 32, and 33
Vaults 31, 32, and 33 are tied to Vault-Tec’s secret plans to control the world. Vault 31 seems to act as a stronghold that contains Vault-Tec executives in stasis pods. These bosses control the other two vaults.
Vault 32 and 33 are supposed to work together; however, things do not go as planned as all the people inside Vault 32 died two years before the show's events. Not even the Vault-Tec leaders seem to know what caused the deaths.
Then, raiders led by a woman named Moldaver invade the empty Vault 32 and trick Hank MacLean, Vault 33’s overseer, into believing one of their own is the vault’s leader. However, Hank had already met Moldaver before.
Fallout season 2 needs to address how Hank fell for Moldaver’s lies. It also needs to explain why Vault 32 was abandoned, and how the Vault-Tec overseers let this chaos happen.
2) What is the Brotherhood of Steel planning with cold fusion?
In the season 1 finale, the Brotherhood of Steel gets their hands on Moldaver’s cold fusion technology, which provides unlimited energy. While this could save the world by ending wars over resources, the Brotherhood’s history suggests they will use it to gain power and control.
Moldaver tells Maximus, a Brotherhood member, that he must stop them from misusing this tech. Season 2 should elaborate on how Maximus can fight an organization as powerful as the Brotherhood and whether the Brotherhood will use cold fusion for good or evil.
3) Moldaver’s background and motivations
Moldaver is one of the most puzzling characters in the show. She is a pre-war engineer who discovered cold fusion but got betrayed by Vault-Tec. Somehow, she is still alive hundreds of years later and leads raiders while plotting revenge.
By the first season’s finale, it is revealed that Moldaver is connected to the New California Republic (NCR) and knew Hank well before the apocalypse. Fallout season 2 needs to answer why she is alive after so many years and why she does not use NCR soldiers instead of Raiders.
4) Who has control in New Vegas?
One of the biggest questions left unanswered in Fallout season 1 is about Vault-Tec’s leader. After everything that happens, it is shown that someone in New Vegas is controlling Vault-Tec’s plans. Cooper, also known as ‘The Ghoul,’ lets Hank escape in the finale, and tracks him to find this mysterious leader.
Season 2 needs to reveal who this leader is and how they’ve been running Vault-Tec for over 200 years. It also needs to address whether they are connected to other groups like the Enclave.
5) Where does Hank get a Nuke from?
One of the most shocking moments in the finale is when Hank nukes Shady Sands, the capital of the NCR. This event happened years before the series began, but the creators do not disclose how Hank got a nuke or why he used it.

Fallout season 2 will have to answer whether this was part of Vault-Tec’s grand plan or if Hank acted on his own. It needs to explore Hank’s reasons and motivations behind the destructive step as well.
All episodes of Fallout season 1 are streaming on Prime Video.
