The murder of a Marine in the jungle during survival training sends Kai (Alex Tarrant), Jesse (Noah Mills), and Tennant (Vanessa Lachey) looking for the other members of the group while Whistler (Tori Anderson) teams up with Hanna (LL Cool J) to investigate the group’s recent actions and their culpability in the disappearance of a local bartender.

After a brief introduction to the world before nuclear annihilation, we jump to the late 23rd Century to spend most of the episode with Lucy (Ella Purnell), the daughter of Vault 33’s Overseer Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), and her life within 50s-style fallout shelter. While keeping specifics to a minimum, we know that the vaults were constructed to continue humanity’s survival (although we get allusions that there were more nefarious purposes as well).
