It's Neil's birthday! And considering both Tull and Luck have had birthday-themed episodes for themselves in the past (#37 and #113 respectively if you're so inclined), it was only fitting for our resident tall boy to have one too. As such, he's being treated to some nice getaways for his birthday. But where in fiction is he being taken to? And why did we completely forget that we literally did this question the previous year (#114) despite Neil's insistence that we didn't? Find out the answers to one of these questions in this double-guest celebratory bash as Tom dangles a dangerous (and sandy) carrot, Bryony tries to provide a life well-lived and Luck offers an inadvertently risky safari experience.

Meanwhile, Flint and Isla receive an unexpected visitor and Randall Jnr. leads Virgo on a wild goose chase.

When you're out in the irradiated Wasteland of Fallout, you've got to play it carefully if you don't want to end up a snack for a nearby Deathclaw or Radscorpion. And not even a good snack either, most likely. In those conditions you'd likely be quite underweight? Is that how you want to go? As a forgettable morsel for a monster? Thought not. So that's why the OP crew are exploring what they'd do once free of a Vault and out and about in the Wasteland itself. Will they make something of themselves? Find out as Luck hits the airwaves, a returning Marcus provides a 'mom and pop' vibe with a secret and Tull looks to be king of the ashes.

Meanwhile, Axel implores Virgo to find the culprits behind the flyers and Cueto finally makes a significant decision.

Journey with them as Neil spots a new patron at the soup kitchen, Tull provides the latest in alien gym equipment and Luck gets to the heart of the matter.
