Ella Purnell names two things that can instantly close the hostile gap between Lucy MacLean and Cooper Howard in Season 2.
In Fallout Season 1, Lucy and Cooper didn’t start their so-called partnership on the best terms. Between the Ghoul torturing, maiming, humiliating, and selling the poor Vaultie to organ harvesters, Lucy understandably learned to hate the gunslinger with a burning passion — a trend that tuned down a little by the premiere season’s finale.
Seeing how Lucy and Cooper are now traveling together as equals with similar goals, they’ll have to adapt to each other, and Ella Purnell knows exactly how.
Lucy Might Learn About the Ghoul’s Past…
Throughout Season 1, we’ve seen many flashbacks to Cooper Howard’s pre-war life, and even though the Ghoul has little in common with the once popular movie star, it was hard not to empathize with him. Being betrayed, losing everything, and having to roam the Wasteland for centuries as a cursed bounty hunter with the single goal of finding his family is rough — and Lucy MacLean might recognize it, too.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen in season two and I’m very excited to find out. But, if and when Lucy does learn about [Cooper’s past], it’s only going to further reinforce her understanding that people change in the Wasteland. And if he was [like] that once upon a time, then what’s she in for?” Purnell explained to THR.
…But Lucy and Cooper Are Already Alike
Despite their rivalry and the Vaultie’s hatred toward her captor and torturer, she isn’t that far off him. Unwillingly, the Ghoul became Lucy’s mentor of sorts, showing her the brutal reality and rules of the Wasteland, and she took to his lessons quickly. Her mercy-killing her mother mirrored what Cooper did to Roger just a few days ago, and that was only the beginning of Lucy’s inevitable transformation.
“I spent most of my time as Lucy just hating the Ghoul, and then, in the last episode, stupidly, it occurred to me far too late that the story that they were really trying to tell was how similar Lucy and the Ghoul are. It lined up with Lucy’s realization that her statement, ‘I may look like you, but I’ll never be like you,’ may not be 100% true. So that realization came at a great time,” the actress elaborated.
From the single ray of sunshine in the otherwise ruthless and dark Wasteland, Lucy MacLean will have to quickly evolve into a more grounded and rough person. Her transformation has already begun — but will she really become the Ghoul 2.0?
