In the opening flashback, we learn that hard-hearted, one-eyed Steph was once an escapee from a Canadian internment camp. The dying woman orders Steph to stop at nothing to survive the coming nuclear apocalypse, since Americans deserve no pity. Presumably her conversation with Hank goes well, since she winds up in the special vault for management to be thawed out centuries later. But we viewers know the head belongs to Congresswoman Welch, the taciturn but righteous-seeming representative Coop saw at the V.A. Lucy and Hank and the automated-man chips, the Ghoul and Maximus and Thaddeus and their attempt to infiltrate Vegas.
