Fallout season 2 ending explained: The Enclave, Colorado and season 3

Fallout season 2 closes on a deliberately open note, revealing more about the origin of the cold fusion device and the shadowy Enclave. Cooper Howard handed the device to the U.S. president before the Great War, only to have the Enclave outmaneuver other players like Mr.

House; the finale also shows an Enclave facility activating what it calls "Phase 2." Showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard framed the Enclave as a central power broker in the world of Fallout, noting the show can explore the faction’s motives and complexity rather than painting them as one-dimensional villains.

Robertson-Dworet suggested the series may examine whether there are noble people within the Enclave or moments when their aims appear justified. The season also points toward Colorado: The Ghoul finds his family’s empty cryo vault and only a postcard from Colorado, which raises the possibility of new locations or elements such as Vault 0 appearing in season 3.
