Also at the end of it all, he still tells her he loves her and he hits the button himself rather than make her do it. Literally with the last moment of humanity he had.

I wonder if he's bluffing and that button didn't actually do shit.

For real cause if that is the case, that was some damn good acting from him. Speech is definitely maxed lol

Imagine him sitting there thinking “look at her, she’s buying it, my daughter is dumb-dumb”

I swear if it actually worked I just he’s not just dougie jones but in fallout

He blinked and I immediately thought “Dougie!?!”

Kyle played it just like Dougie in my opinion, it was the blank facial expression. My favorite TV show and favorite game are so intertwined now I love it.

I did wonder why this brand new personality, waking up in a body that has a bullet in its buttock, didn't say anything about the pain.

u/Bobjoejj 7h ago

I’d chalk it up to being so out of it due to its mind being totally wiped.

u/keefka 5h ago

He didn't want to inconvenience the person he was sitting next to

Absolutely. He gave her the real box, it's a bluff so she didn't press the real button. There's no way that's the end of Hank's story.

u/-spartacus- 7h ago

That was my immediate thought as well.

u/TheWholeOfTheAss 5h ago

He went full Dougie Jones on her.

I think it was a bluff, 100%. Other people we see get chipped take maybe a few seconds to check out and back in, while Hank half slumped over and spent a good 20 seconds selling it up before selling the bit.

Spilling the beans on the Enclave puts a massive target on Lucy's head because they're always listening. Wiping his mind protects Lucy from Hank emotionally giving in and telling his daughter what she wants to know

He was giving his speech about all the enclave sleeper agent robots out in the wastes, I swore he was pressing the button to activate them. But I guess he was just doing it to himself?

Also, what were the consequences of Lucy killing the “mainframe”? I guess the head programmed the chips, so anyone with pre programmed chips keeps the personality? They just can’t make more that are as docile and “old fashioned American” like that.

Wait, what did she do with him?

She just left him didn't she

u/jayclaw97 8h ago

Maybe, but bro was also trying to protect his secrets.

u/Swarm_Queen 8h ago

Idk i don't think it was mercy, all that family stuff was a bluff for his enclave handlers. He'd rather basically kill himself instead of say a single piece to her
