At the beginning of this episode there was a recap of plot threads, and I didn't think there was any way possible they'd be able to satisfactorily wrap them all up in just over an hour's time. I was wrong.
Some of the storylines that have been successfully concluded: Lucy's quest to find her father, what happened to her mother, the importance of the chip in Dr. Wilzig's head, Lee Moldaver and her dream of bringing cold fusion energy into existence (though not how she survived for two hundred years, so I'm assuming we'll see some flashbacks about that next season), Maximus returning to the Brotherhood of Steel, and who was responsible for the "accident" that befell Dane, leading to Maximus' adventure in the first place.
What's been left for the future: Lucy and The Ghoul teaming up to follow Hank's trail in order to find out who brought this apocolyptic nightmare to humanity; Maximus, an official Knight, going after Lucy (though I predict they'll be kept apart for a number of episodes); how cold fusion power will now change life and what the powers-that-be will do about this threat to their authority; Norman's fate in Vault 31; Stephanie as Overseer in Vault 32; and whether Chet will ever grow some stones.
Undoubtedly there'll be new characters and stories as well as revisiting side characters we've already met, such as Betty and the other dwellers of Vault 33, Thaddeus (now a ghoul), and that snake oil salesman in the Wasteland (did I see correctly that he'd been trying to kill himself?)
Like many, what most intrigues me is the continuing story of Coop Howard: what happened between him and his wife that led to the demise of their marriage (obviously some kind of confrontation over her working for the evil Vault-Tec corporation), and how he became The Ghoul. The last we saw of Coop, he and his daughter Janey were on Coop's horse racing away from the nuclear annihilation. Where's Janey now? (Barbara was probably in a vault when the nuclear explosions took place, so how is it that she didn't have Janey by her side?)
*****side rant*****
For those nitpicking about Shady Sands. Stop. Just enjoy the damn show for what it is.
*****end of side rant*****
There are so many unanswered questions that I have no doubt there'll be a season two of Fallout. The show has been such a stunning success I cannot see them not continuing to make more episodes.
