You'd think it would maybe be in their best interest not to have a feral ghoul around.

Because that tends to be bad news.

But I suppose he is immobilized.

Yeah.

seemingly does not take too long for him to start to turn.

So he does need fairly regular hits off those vials in order to preserve himself.

Another thing I was thinking, though, is that as he just hangs here, hoping that someone will help him,

he sure could use a good Samaritan like Lucy right now.

And of course, he turned on her and betrayed her, but was compelled to the same way that everyone is compelled to constantly in the series, the way that Barb is, the way that the ghoul is when Hank has the ghoul where he wants him, et cetera.

But this is the sort of situation where Lucy shines, or at least has historically.

She's always willing to help out someone in need,

And very few other people are in the wasteland.

And the ghoul is now finding that out the hard way.

So I wonder if as he's suspended there, he's thinking, maybe I was too hard on Lucy all those times when she just led us into a radroach den or some other predicament or got herself crucified.

She had the best of intentions.

And, you know, I wish she were here right now.

I know.

It would have been so easy.

Now, I guess he was playing the long game, as we see later, because he gets the hat and he grabs it and does make use of it ultimately.

So it wasn't just that he was bringing that back to Coop as Coop slash the ghoul thought.
