Fallout Season 2 Episode 6, “The Other Player,” might be the quietest episode of the season, but it’s easily one of the most important. We finally see who really set the apocalypse in motion, how the Enclave fits in with Vault‑Tec and Mr. House, and why Barb’s choices change everything for the wasteland.
