After the Fallout Season 1 finale, fans were left pondering one major question: How did Moldaver survive? Fortunately, they need not wait any longer, as the actress has finally revealed the truth behind it.

As the first season of the Fallout TV series reached its conclusion with its final episode, fans eagerly anticipated the full story to unfold. However, the absence of one crucial detail left them surprised, prompting speculation and theories about what it might entail and what the next season could bring. Fortunately, Sarita Choudhury, who portrays Lee Moldaver in Fallout, has put an end to the wait for fans by shedding light on the matter.

During a Nerdist interview, Choudhury unexpectedly disclosed some critical details about the TV series and her character. While she did touch upon the future plans for her character and her backstory, she notably discussed fan theories regarding her survival. Choudhury teased that she knows how Moldaver survived but must remain silent for now, hinting at the development of her story in the upcoming season.

Choudhury hinted at forthcoming revelations, suggesting that such questions are reserved for future seasons. She teased the interviewer, implying that by the time those answers are unveiled, they may already be probing about events in season three.

Although Choudhury could not divulge specifics about Moldaver's survival, she did address some fan theories about Moldaver's background, particularly her relationship with Rose MacLean, Lucy’s mother, and other characters. The scenes between Moldaver and MacLean, both in the present and in flashbacks, resonated with fans as they felt like a romantic portrayal of a tragic love story. Speculations arose that the two women might have been in love. While Choudhury did not provide a definitive answer, she hinted at the depth of their connection, stating, «So, I can’t really answer, but I can tell you the level of closeness and the family structure with Hank, Rose, and Lucy—there is something there. And I can’t say more than that.» Although not all questions were addressed, the subtext of the Fallout interview hints at hidden depths, unexpected canonical
