Fallout Season 2, Episode 2 Review

The Golden Rule streams on Prime Video and keeps the story moving as the group reaches the surface before the credits in Fallout Season 2, Episode 2.
This season treats the Brotherhood of Steel as an uneasy alliance of chapters, with Quintus , Elder Cleric, conspiring with Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Coronado chapters to seize control from the Commonwealth , as Paladin Harkness arrives as liaison.
Quintus's conditioning leaves Maximus obedient and emotionally hollow, while a Shady Sands flashback links Hank MacLean, Vault‑Tec, and Mr. House's experiments including flawed control‑chip technology.
A game‑style moral choice forces Lucy to pick who receives the final stimpack, leading her into Caesar's Legion's den; next week's episode reveals more about her captors.
A Dune‑flavoured visual palette and Ramin Djawadi's theme elevate the Brotherhood reveal, blending vertibirds and turbines with an Area 51 gag, an alien in a freezer, and Kyle MacLachlan’s mouse-testing montage.
