Fans have finally been able to stream the action-packed Fallout Season 2 finale, which was packed with shocking revelations, hints at future storylines and surprising twists.

The latest instalment of the live-action adaptation dropped in the early hours of this morning (February 4).

Despite arriving at 2am UK time, devoted fans have already binged it at the earliest opportunity.

Here's everything you need to know about Fallout's Season 2 finale and what became of Lucy, the Ghoul, Maximus and the rest.

*Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the Fallout Season 2 finale*.

Lucy reaches the mainframe where her father's mind-altering apparatus is powered, discovering it's fuelled by the head of Denise Welch, the politician from Cooper's flashbacks. She is somehow still alive, and her sole message to Lucy is a plea to end her life.

Lucy complies. Hank intends to use the apparatus on his own daughter to transform her back into 'his little girl again'. Before he can proceed, the Ghoul shoots him but leaves his ultimate destiny in Lucy's hands, reports the Mirror.

As Lucy ventures outside with her father, who now has the apparatus attached to him but not yet activated, he discloses one secret. He maintains he succeeded in miniaturising the apparatus and has operatives scattered throughout the Wasteland that nobody knows about.

Hank then activates the apparatus on himself and his memories are erased before he can divulge what he was truly planning.

The Ghoul returned to Robert House's casino Lucky 38 and restored power to him using the cold fusion technology. Mr House provides the Ghoul with a specialised Pip Boy to guide him to his family's location.

Upon finally discovering the cryogenic chambers containing his wife and child, he requests they be opened. Yet they prove to be vacant.

Instead, a postcard addressed to Colorado has been left in his wife's tube. The Ghoul abandons the Pip Boy, breaks his agreement with House and prepares to journey to Colorado alone.

Cooper's flashbacks also reveal he was detained for opposing Vault-Tec, explaining why he wasn't placed in the same vault as his family. Additionally, he was present at the wedding ceremony of Hank Maclean and Stephanie Harper.

Whilst the Ghoul and Lucy were inside the laboratories, Maximus and Thaddeus remained outside with orders to confront the Deathclaws. Following the loss of one arm, Thaddeus initially seeks refuge amongst the local residents.

He places a substantial wager on his mate's victory before entering the battle himself. As Maximus encounters difficulties, Thaddeus manages to discharge a shot by using his feet to operate the trigger of his rifle.

When this occurs again, Maximus glances towards his companion who signals that he wasn't responsible this time. Reinforcements from the New Californian Republic have finally arrived and assume control of battling the remaining Deathclaws.

Maximus ventures out to The Strip where he reconnects with Lucy. From the Lucky 38, they gaze across Vegas as Lucy reveals she has ignited a conflict.

Maximus, who had triggered the Brotherhood of Steel's internal strife, simply responds: "Welcome to the Wasteland."

It's a subtle reference to Fallout players, who are all too familiar with how major choices can escalate into warfare.

Meanwhile, the internal conflict triggered by the Ghoul's liberation of Lucy from Caesar's Legion continues to rage. That changes when Larry, portrayed by Macaulay Culkin, decides to haul the former Caesar's corpse back to his encampment.

He recovers the message from the body that was meant to identify his heir - the very cause of the original division. Yet it states: "I am Caesar. I am the Legion. It ends with me."

With his deceased commander unhelpfully declining to designate the new leader, Larry seizes control himself. He eliminates the individual who had initially claimed Caesar's mantle on his faction, and assumes power for himself.

He also consumes the former ruler's message. A newly unified Legion, under Larry's command, is advancing towards Vegas with ambitions to control the region and eliminate any opposing groups, particularly the NCR, that stand in their path.

Lucy's brother Norm has succeeded in reaching the surface after finding himself trapped within Vault 31. He awakened the remaining Vault-Tec executives to assist with his escape, though they remained unaware of the true situation.

Norm's advancement ground to a halt during the final episodes. Nevertheless, when the executives realised he wasn't who he claimed to be, they immediately attempted to eliminate him.

During the struggle, Norm accidentally struck the lift controls.

This released a swarm of enormous Rad Roaches who slaughtered nearly all the executives. Norm survives and assists his sole remaining ally from the group back outside into the wasteland.

Stephanie remains concealed in her overseer's office following the revelation to the vault that she is actually Canadian. There's considerably more to her story than that.

She was also Hank's spouse before the bombs dropped. Moreover, the pair were Enclave operatives.

Stephanie retrieves her Enclave issued Pip Boy and transmits a message back to their headquarters requesting them to 'initialise phase two'.

What else happens in the Fallout Season 2 finale?

Furthermore there is a post-credits sequence between Elder Cleric Quintus and Dane. Dane delivers blueprints to the Elder who declares he has failed to unite the Brotherhood and so will be known as Quintus the Destroyer from now on.

The plans are for a weapon, specifically Liberty Prime. A massive robot capable of widespread devastation.
