According to Walton Goggins, we can all expect something “profound” to happen in the Fallout season two finale next week.
Goggins, who plays The Ghoul/Cooper Howard in Amazon’s Fallout adaptation, has said his character’s motivations have always been about finding his family. Of course, over the course of two seasons, we have seen the highs and lows of Cooper Howard’s family life with his wife Barb and daughter Janey via flashbacks. Meanwhile, in the present day, a now Ghoul-ified Cooper is still searching for his family, and has been for centuries.
So, will he find them in the final episode of Fallout season two? Well, that remains to be seen, though Goggins has teased something “profound” happening not just to The Ghoul, but to the sweeter than sweet vault dweller Lucy as well.
“I can tell you that in episode eight, without giving something away to your audience, something profound happens for both the Ghoul and Lucy that would also be my favourite, but we can’t talk about that,” he told EW ahead of the Fallout finale.
Goggins added viewers will also learn more about what Cooper was doing at that birthday party, way back at the start of season one. “I mean, the whole first seven minutes of this experience in season one was about [Cooper being] a guy at a birthday party. Well, how did he get to that birthday party? What happened? It’s all leading somewhere,” the actor said.
Meanwhile, according to Lucy MacLean actor Ella Purnell, the second season’s finale will be a “conflicted, explosive and character-defining” cocktail for the naive and trusting vault dweller.
“You get to see Lucy be a real human with real human problems, and I think at times, because of her strength and her optimism, it doesn’t always feel that way with her,” Purnell explained. “But in this moment, and that maybe says a lot about what her choices and decisions are, she’s flawed and she’s actually just getting more and more human.”
Ooh, curious!
After many weeks of chaos and cameos, Fallout season two will wrap up on 3rd February. Meanwhile, the third season of Fallout is already being written, with filming expected to kick off this May. Ghoul blimey, and all that.
