The conclusion of the "Vault 4" storyline is one of my favorite moments in the series. Sometimes, **just sometimes,** the scary Blood-Cultists turn out to be legit, nice people. That's "Fallout" humor to-a-T (as is the severed heads sharing a kiss later on). The Father in the opening scene was wearing an "NCR Ranger" uniform. There's an easter egg buried there! The man playing him is one Erik Estrada. There was a network TV show, hugely popular in America and Canada, called "CHIPS" (6 seasons, late 70s/early 80s), in which Erik played a motorcycle-riding policeman called "Ponch". The role was apt, as he was also an actual cop IRL. The NCR Rangers are (or, **were,** anyway) the closest thing to California Highway Patrol that exists in the Fallout setting, so putting that man in that costume was a drunken salute in (and from) multiple directions.
i do consider Maximus and the Brotherhood to be the weakest parts of the series. The mysteries of the Vault systems are the most intriguing parts of the series
I agree it's the weakest of the 3 (4) POV storylines, but I still empathize with him completely. He could be scoring bonus points for me, due to his representing the Brotherhood of Steel, which I find to be the most interesting faction in the entire setting (I've been a fan of the Fallout series since the first game in 1997). Still, there's plenty to empathize with, and a little empathy can go a long way. He's just as clueless as Lucy, just in different ways. He's just as ruthless as Cooper, just in different situations. His story is one of finding who he really is and what he really wants, which I find fascinating.

Omg! I totally missed that he was played by Erik Estrada! Well spotted!

Totally. Of the three, the vault storyline has been so interesting. Really looking forward to a resolution to this storyline in the final episode
