They’re mostly here to give us some sterling examples of what decent behavior isn’t.

4/5

Fittingly for the episode that brings into the fold both major factions from Fallout: New Vegas, who have been at one another’s throats for decades the human propensity for conflict serves as our connecting tissue throughout the episode.

8/10

"The Profligate" at times feels like a side quest, especially surrounding Lucy and the Ghoul at the Legion's headquarters. Yet Episode 3 is great at mixing absurdity and brutality while also showing how the characters are evolving this season.

4/5

Episode 3 brutally explores what it means to find the right solution through opposing perspectives, in subtle and violent ways.

8/10

While it’s a shame that Lucy had to be put in crucifixion time-out for most of this episode, and Robert House’s not-so-mysterious identity continues to be a sticking point, this is an otherwise fantastic, character-driven episode.

It’s really Maximus’s storyline that keeps this episode interesting, especially as we realize he’s made it to the soda factory.
