Editor's note: The below recap contains spoilers for Fallout Season 2 Episode 3.The first two weeks of Fallout Season 2 have been devoted to catching viewers up with where all the characters are while setting up the pieces for what's to come. But in the third and best episode of the season so far, "The Profligate," Fallout returns to its three main characters: Lucy (Ella Purnell), The Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and Maximus (Aaron Moten). In doing this, “The Profligate” shows us the limitations of Lucy's kindness, while the Ghoul moves a bit closer to Lucy's point of view, and Maximus becomes more than just a cog in the machine. The episode also features a reminder on multiple fronts that war never changes, mixingthe absurdity and horrors of this world in equal measure.
