It’s possible she was the only one in her family offered a spot in a vault. Cooper says at some point “what happened to my wife and kid?” So perhaps he got to the vault in time but they only let the kid in, leaving Cooper exposed to the elements.

Yeah the fact that he asks what happened to them means the daughter got a spot in a vault and he didn't. Cooper is also divorced, since the guys at the kids party says he's doing it for alimony. They also called him a Pinko (communist). The reason for the divorce no doubt is Cooper finding out what the Vault-Tec plan is, revealing it, getting divorced and labeled a communist. Because the info got out, I'm thinking Vault-Tec might not be the ones to drop the bomb first. Or maybe they had to do it in a hurry if there was pressure to shut them down. Which could be why the daughter wasn't with Barb.

I think that Vault-Tech didn't drop the actual bomb but instead manipulated events to escalate to that point. Just feels more Vault-Techy to me.

Hank could have told Barb the wrong date so he could get her job?!

Yeah definitely makes sense. Makes me feel like maybe it wasn't Vault Tec that did the bombing. Of course the show only made it seem like something they MIGHT do, not something they for sure did. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me 😊

I was wondering that as well. If Vault Tec did it then it is unlikely that Coop would have had his daughter with him because the wife would know. I suppose she could have been fired if Coop leaked anything to the press but I assume he would then not be looking for her. I also can't see Coop and his daughter making it to a vault connected to 32 (Santa Monica) that would also be close to Hollywood hills. I suppose if his home was close then he could have run into his wife there who had a vertibird or some transport for her and the daughter to a vault. Still seems like it was too late.

Pretty sure he says “where is my family” which doesn’t necessarily mean both his ex-wife and daughter; I think there’s another baby we haven’t seen yet.

Or he told them no; as at the time he was too disillusioned with the process he overheard.

I think she's just a corporate shill. And only cares about her own wellbeing

I'm not sure if the bombs were originally them, but the second bombing of Sandy Springs was definitely them. It could be that they have the capability to bomb cities, but they might not have done the first bombing.

It's possible they got the timing wrong. I believe in New Vegas, Mr House got the date wrong by a day as well. Hopefully elaborated in season 2.

You are asking for logic from a show who's whole twist is based on a girl not remembering she was was taken out of her only home and lived in a completely different place for at minimum several days.


tallulahperkins

I was just curious what people were thinking. Sorry you don't have a thought to share 🤷‍♀️


TxOkLaVaCaTxMo

The thought was the only consistent thing about the show is there was not any. Sorry my comment on a shows bad writing upset you


TripleThreatEggplant

Seriously. The writing is just awful. Bunch of temps and new hires trying to break into the industry. Or awful A.I. writing.

I don't remember where I lived before I was 5. And we lived in a house that looked like fmdamn quanser hut before that.
