"The Past" is the fifth episode of the first season of the Fallout TV series.
Maximus, posing as Knight Titus, and Thaddeus celebrates their successful retrieval of the head of Siggi Wilzig. Thaddeus requests that Maximus brands him with Knight Titus' power armor to signify his squire-hood to him. Afterward, Maximus reveals his true identity to Thaddeus; this results in a scuffle where Maximus crushes Thaddeus's foot, and Thaddeus disables Maximus's power armor by taking its fusion core. Thaddeus then leaves Maximus stuck in the armor and flees with Wilzig's head. Hours later, Lucy discovers Maximus, posing once again as Knight Titus, in the disabled power armor and saves him from radroaches. Maximus convinces Lucy to open the power armor and set him free in exchange for RadAway for her radiation sickness. After setting Maximus free, Lucy collapses due to her radiation poisoning.
In Vault 32, Norm questions how the raider got hold of his mom's Pip-Boy that's necessary to open the Vault, Chet persuades him to return to 33 but Norm insists on checking the 32-31 inter-vault door. At the door, the two discover the corpses of the Vault 32 dwellers and the words "WE KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE" written in blood, Norm and Chet deduces that the dwellers must have been trying to open the door. Horrified by what they have seen, the two return to Vault 33.
After a while, Lucy awakens, being treated by RadAway, and sees Maximus covering up the power armor and preparing to follow Thaddeus's trail and re-retrieve Wilzig's head. Lucy makes a deal with Maximus to let him help her track down the head with her Pip-Boy tracker, and in return, Maximus promises to bring Brotherhood reinforcements to save Lucy's dad.
Back in Vault 33, the overseer election is commencing. While in line to vote, Davey apologizes to Reg while insinuating that he plans to vote for Betty. Reg takes no offense and ends up voting for her himself. Betty later wins the election with a 98% majority. Norm analyses the Inter-Vault trade records and discovers that all of Vault 33's former overseers, including Betty and Hank, had been from Vault 31 as part of the trades. After the reveal of the election's result, Betty winning in a landslide, Norm meets up with Chet and discusses his suspicion, which Chet dismisses by saying that Vault 31 had a better education system, more resources, and a tradition of voting for Overseer's from Vault 31 exists in Vault 33. Norm visits Steph's suite, where Chet has begun a relationship with her and helps care for her newborn. Norm asks Steph, who is a former Vault 31 Dweller, what was different between the two Vaults, she responds that Vault 31 had better mashed potatoes to which Norm replied that it was the same response Hank had said.
Lucy and Maximus pursue Thaddeus and Wilzig's head. Along the way, the pair bond, with Lucy asking what has happened in the past 200 years after the bombs dropped, and Maximus replies that the bombs dropped when he was a child. Lucy also questioned the Brotherhood's motif, and of the general education on the surface. At a bridge crossing, the duo meets with Javin and Rink, another pair of traveling wastelanders. Lucy attempts to broker a peaceful crossing by making both pairs raise up their arms in a show of peace. This ends horribly when the wastelanders shoot at Lucy and Maximus, wounding him, after noticing Lucy's Pip-Boy. Maximus downs the two travelers, who he reveals are Fiends — that is, cannibals raiders.
The traveling pair then arrives at Shady Sands, where Lucy is shocked to learn that over 34,000 people had lived there after the war, and Maximus tells her of the existence of the New California Republic. Learning this, she questions the Vault's Reclamation Day and of the purpose of the Vault to which Maximus says that the NCR didn't succeed in their mission of rebuilding society. Maximus shows Lucy the crater that is the remnant of Shady Sands. Lucy asks Maximus what happened and he replies that it is the same thing that always happens: "Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how." Lucy then wonders if anyone had survived, and Maximus reveals that he is a survivor of the destruction. Realizing that Maximus' wound is serious, Lucy leads the pair in search of aid and arrives at the Research & Development building of Hawthorne Medical Laboratories. The two are then separated, and Maximus falls into a trapdoor.
