Fallout Season 2 Episode 6 deepens faction drama and introduces a supermutant

Collider reports that "The Other Player," Episode 6 of Fallout Season 2, advances the season’s faction-driven storylines and features the Ghoul encountering a supermutant who may change his path.

The episode follows several threads: Barb views Vault‑Tec presentations and is given an automated-man device from Rob‑Co by a public-facing Robert House while questions about cold fusion and Vault experiments persist; the Ghoul, impaled and near death in New Vegas, is rescued and partially healed with uranium by a supermutant (played by Ron Perlman) who speaks of the Enclave and revenge; Lucy awakens inside a Vault‑Tec simulation, discovers widespread mind‑control devices, confronts Hank MacLean and handcuffs him, and witnesses the controlled workers; and Maximus and Thaddeus follow Dogmeat to the Ghoul, setting up a tense reunion.

The hour ends by setting up potential team-ups for the season’s final two episodes, reminding viewers that other factions — Caesar’s Legion, the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel — remain active and that new mysteries, including supermutants, are emerging. New episodes premiere Wednesdays on Prime Video in the U.S.
