Fallout actor Moisés Arias opens up about Norm’s season 1 ending & what could happen in season 2, teasing multiple options for him.
Fallout star Moisés Arias opens up about his character’s season 1 ending and what could happen next. Arias’ Norm is the younger brother of Lucy MacLean, who, throughout season 1, after his older sister leaves for the surface, explores Vaults 32 and 31. His adventure finds him discovering that something dark and mysterious happened in Vault 32 and him finding out that his father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), and everyone from Vault 31, are actually over-200-year-old people (most involved with Vault-Tec) preserved in cryosleep. Norm is then trapped in a corridor full of cryosleep chambers.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Arias talks about that Fallout season 1 ending and Norm’s options going forward. The actor says that he doesn’t think there’s only one option (sleeping for about two centuries) and that there are multiple available for Norm, and while the others aren’t obvious, they are there, setting up a unique path for season 2. See what Arias teased below:
So I was staring at a blank void, trying to understand what it was I was looking at, too. I don’t think there’s one option, I think there’s multiple. Now, is it on the page, or is it obvious? No. But I guess, like you said, Norm is going to use his intelligence to hopefully not be asleep for 200 years.
What Norm’s Ending Means For Season 2
Fallout season 2 may prove that Norm has the grit to survive in the wasteland after all.
Norm finds himself in quite a predicament by the end of Fallout season 1. His escape may very well depend on whether or not he has gained the courage to do the right thing and survive. At the beginning of season 1, Norm is depicted more as a coward, largely disillusioned by life in the Vault. The two biggest examples of this come when Vault 33 is raided, in which he hides in a storage room from the attackers, and when Lucy goes to the surface, as Norm says he’s “too chicken” to come with her.
As season 1 unfolds, it seems like Norm’s adventures harden him. It’s also revealed that Arias’ character has a somewhat darker side to him, as when Vault 33 discusses what to do with the raiders, Norm expresses that they should kill them. It’s possible that Fallout season 2 will pursue the development of these themes in his character arc, culminating in Norm gathering what it takes to take him out of his sticky situation.
Where Norm is being held captive, Vault 31, the overseer is Bud Atkins, preserved in the form of a roomba-like robot that dons the brain of Bud. Norm’s options seem limited, namely in that he might have to kill Bud in order to get back home and share what he’s learned to his fellow Vault-Dwellers. The death of such a villain might not come so early in the series, and while Norm hasn’t even reached the surface, Fallout season 2 might prove that he has the grit to survive in the wasteland after all.
