Loved the last episode. The deathclaw being the first thing to shake Cooper's unflappable personality was great. He probably convinced himself sometime in the last centuries that he dreamed the scene in Anchorage, only to be presented with it again. Last time he froze up and the deathclaw ignored him, I doubt this will be as friendly. I imagine they'll either be rescued by Freeside folks or whoever is holed up in Lucky 38.
They could completely delete the entire plotline inside Vault 31/32/33 and it'd be an improvement. If I had an option to watch a version of the show with that entirely cut, along with the executive aides wandering around, I'd probably watch that.

Given the fact they hinted at FEV being part of phase 2, I think Vault 33 is going to get dosed with FEV. The whole inbreeding group chowing on stuff while the vault slowly dies from a busted water chip is going to factor in. I bet the keepsake box from Hank will have the FEV and Stephanie will give Betty a “fixed” water chip that has FEV in it and mutate Vault 33. The support group will unknowingly consume FEV and start to transform into super mutants, destroying the vault.
I am also suspicious of the cute girl Norm was talking with. Works for Vault Tec for one week and gets chosen? They’re presenting her as innocent but I wouldn’t be shocked if she is the most evil of the bunch or a plant from Enclave or WestTek or something
I think the Deathclaw didn’t attack Coop in the flashback because it was still being controlled by the military/was trained to recognize Americans. It looked like it was blind (pure white eyes) and was smelling Coop, so it was probably trying to figure out what it was dealing with. Once it heard gunfire, it took off because Coop gave off nothing sensory wise that said Chinese communist.

Yeah, I assumed the Deathclaw did not kill Coop because he was an American trooper, no reason to expect that immunity to persist.
And yes, it is difficult to see how the Vault 31-33 stuff can possibly tie into the Vegas stuff this season. (Even a cartoonish plotline where Hank has a deadman's switch to get away from Lucy* wouldn't involve Norm.) So therefore they have to be the linkage to the Vault / Enclave stuff we'll get next season**. The show made those vault sets, they might as well get some use out of them.
*Although all the Simulation stuff we've seen in the trailer makes me think that Lucy won't even confront actual Hank, as Hank will have already moved along to the Enclave (or whatever the Season 3 Big Bad ends up being.)
**No one thinks Thaddeus is a ghoul at this point, right? There's an FEV onramp that doesn't kill all the Vaulties, and Norm can travel with the 31ers to an Enclave / Vault-Tec base to get exposition next season.

Thaddeus could be turning into lots of things - the extra mouth on his shoulder makes some people think centaur, but that would be expensive to do long term. The serum dude was in a season trailer, so he might shed more light on what was in the serum. FO76 had mutation serums the Enclave was experimenting with before the Modus AI purged the entire bunker.
