Summary
A year has passed since Lucy and Cooper parted ways.
Lucy wasn’t looking for the Ghoul, but when she found him drinking himself to death in a bar, she couldn’t just leave.
They are both broken in their own ways, and “dealing with trauma in a healthy way” is just a poster slogan for them.

Summary
“You knew who I was, and you still did all that. The Cooper Howard I knew wouldn’t have done that to me.” Lucy said.
“That was 200 years ago, darlin’.” He sneered.
“For you. For me, that was four years ago. I was asleep while you turned into… this. I should leave you here. I’ll find my dad without you. Thank you so much for your time, Cooper. It was great to get reacquainted.”
“Lucy!” He called from the couch. “Fuckin’ hell, girl, just wait.”
Lucy spun violently on her heel. She wanted to shout at him. To ask how on earth he was Cooper Howard. She had known him. She had been friends with him. She’d been well on her way to falling in love with him. How was this scarred, vile thing him?
“You’re not the man I met 200 years ago.” She said.
“Oh yeah?” He spat. “You’re exactly how I remember you.”

Summary
“It’s funny, Mr. Howard.”
“What’s that?”
“You’ve won a lot of awards for your work, but I’m not so sure you’re a very good actor anymore.” Lucy said.
“Is that so?” He asked, grinding his teeth a bit and slowly spinning the empty glass on the bar top. He’d been called a bad actor before, but that was by industry professionals, know-it-all critics, and gossip rags. Pretty girls at bars didn’t go around calling him a bad actor. Not that he spent much time talking to pretty girls at bars at all.
“Mhmm.” She said. “You sit there and tell me this cause isn’t worth it. That I’ll only get hurt in the end. But to me, it’s as plain as the nose on your face… You still believe in this cause. Even if it hurts you. And I think I’d like to see you get back on the horse.” Lucy smiled, then, winking over her shoulder as she called back to him, “What do you think, cowboy?”

Summary
“She can be determined at times, but as you can see, she is manageable.”
After a brutal escape from New Vegas leaves her injured and shaken, Lucy chooses proximity to The Ghoul rather than walking away - despite every reason she should.
Lucy believed Vault-Tec existed to keep people safe. The Mainframe shattered that certainty; and with it, her faith that anyone can be trusted.
Caught between violence, barbed words, and the unbearable weight of what they’ve both lost. Survival becomes a negotiation of boundaries, leverage, and split-second choices that rarely come without cost.
As old secrets surface and new horrors emerge, Lucy must reckon with what it means to stay and what she might lose by doing so.
Trust is a liability. Obedience may be worse.
Post–S2E7 continuation. Canon divergence ahead.
