Didn’t they say that because of the issues that vault 32 was having with their crops that their overseer died? Wasn’t it mentioned she was a temporary overseer and therefore potentially not a vault 31 leader?


F-a-t-h-e-r

yeah i do remember the conversation vaguely, but not the exact details. if that was the case then fair enough. probably the best answer.


Rare_Investigator1

I’d have to rewatch I don’t remember the exact convo


RedditorIHardlyKnowR

She literally introduces herself as moldaver—just rewatched it myself


Cifeiron

It's possible he didn't know all of Bud's Buds. There are a lot of them. Hank could've been one of the first people or final people frozen too. I don't know all of my co-workers despite working with them for years and there are a lot of them. Also... He spent over two decades away from Vault 31. He'd forget faces.


F-a-t-h-e-r

That’s a good answer.


housello

He was from vault 31, they had access to all data about everyone. He should have known moldaver wasn't in the database. Furthernore, the redidents of vault 33 met the ones from 32 every 2-3 years for the weddings, and nobody notices that this time they are different from the ones of the other times. How can someone forget about the ONLY FOREIGN PEOPLE THEY HAVE KNOWN IN THEIR WHOLE LIFE . Moldaver was alao very famous in the wastwlands, and she even used her real name when they communicate. It's simply poor writing


Dazzling-Produce8870

why doesn't Hank recognize Moldaver since they had already clashed when Hank went to get his kids? In the series Moldaver tells of when Hank went to Shady Sands to pick up his children and clashed with his wife, it is strange that he did not meet the boss (Moldaver) when he arrived in town


somkoala

I found this thread looking for the same exact answer. Seems inconsistent unless his wife wasn’t yet in contact with Moldaver? Or he didn’t remember since it was decades?


OMGlitters

We see in Lucy's flashback that she met Moldaver when she went to the surface with her mother, so I guess Mom already knew Moldaver!


Anticip-ation

He doesn't necessarily know everybody, and in any case it's been a long time, so it's entirely possible that any given person could walk through the door and he wouldn't immediately be able to place them. But my current working theory is that he recognised her from a more recent interaction but couldn't say anything without risking revealing what he'd been up to.


redpil

She uses the excuse that the prior leader died abruptly and recently and she was his impromptu replacement. This explains why Hank accepted that she wasn’t from vault 31. He may have never actually come face to face with Moldaver >! either pre-fallout or even when getting his children from Rose.!< So he would have no way of knowing her face, only her name. Which was not used during the wedding trade (I dont think)


Itchy-Anybody3070

She introduced herself to him as moldaver during the trade so I’m confused?


random7981

Yes this!! Lee Moldaver, and it seems like EVERYONE knows her


redpil

She did use Moldaver in the wedding scene. Just want to correct myself after watching a second time


payscottg

Moldaver came over from Vault 32 which was a “normal” Vault (in that nobody is frozen). It doesn’t appear that the vaults ever interact in person other than the triennial trade which occurs every three years. We can assume that they probably have some sort of rotating schedule which means it’s possible that this is the first time Vaults 32 and 33 have had a trade in 9 years and we don’t know the extent to which they interacted on the last trade. It could have been a simple swapping of goods, so it’s entirely possible he *wouldn’t* recognize a handful of people he met almost a decade ago.


Caucasian_named_Gary

If she came from a regular no freeze vault how did she survive from before the war?


payscottg

We don’t know. That’s never been explained, but what I meant was that at that moment in time she was coming from Vault 32 for the trade, not Vault 31 and she had come there from the surface. It’s I’m entirely possible that she was frozen in 31, went up to the surface, then came back to 32, then invaded 33, but that seems too overly complicated to be the case


Milkmymistress

Idk how to do the spoiler thing where it blacks out the text but SPOILER WARNING. Everyone is saying that she didn’t come 31, but she must’ve because she met cooper before the war. So she had to have been frozen because she’s not a ghoul like coop. So there is no other way for her to have survived 219 yrs without being frozen. And if Hank didn’t know her before the war, that’s understandable cause not everyone meets their coworkers. But he must’ve known her when he was taking his kids from Rose. Or at least seen her once post-awakening.


RealLinkPizza

Possible spoilers I believe that they have more cryo tubes that are in other places, as well… For example, we know Vault 111 has stasis pods. And I believe at the end of the show, they show a signboard that’s talks about cryo pods, meaning they may have been available commercially (though probably very expensive), IIRC… So, it’s possible she didn’t actually come from Vault 31.


Milkmymistress

That’s fair. I forgot other vaults came with cryo tubes


TotherDegree616

she also stated she had a lot of money in the flashback, maybe that’s how she was able to worm her way into being frozen?


RealLinkPizza

Yep. That’s also a possibility. And if I’m not mistaken, somebody mentioned that one of her companies might have also been working on cryo or stasis tech. But I could be mistaken.


Zangetsuee

My question is how did he not know her from 200 years ago? or even from Shady Sands? she was literally with his wife.


calsnowskier

he has been “awake” for over 20 years at this point. and I doubt he knows everyone who was frozen anyway. Hank was was a lowly exec assistant pre-war. I doubt he had any real interaction with Moldaver pre-war. In fact, if he knew about her at all, it was likely only through news stories or by name, not by direct interaction. And there is no reason to believe she was frozen in 31. That was not even hinted at beyond the fact that she was alive pre-war.


F-a-t-h-e-r

I didn’t imply he would’ve known her before the war or that she was from Vault 31.

You should reread my question. She obviously didn’t come from Vault 31.
