I took 20 minutes to watch a summary of what the deal is with the vaults in Fallout, so now I have a better context for the world. Basically if "Fallout" were 'A Nightmare Before Christmas', each vault would be a holiday town, only instead of holidays they're filled unwitting participants in science experiments led by a secretive organization. Also there are a few organizations on the surface, each with its own agenda and level of influence, and so far we've only seen a couple in the forms of the raiders and the knights.
Given this understanding, it appears that vault 31, 32, and 33 are linked together through some type of network, which is not the case for other vaults. While it hasn't been revealed to the audience what specific experiment is being performed on Vault 33, this episode hints that the inhabitants are educated, idealistic, likely college professors, very liberal, and the writers have set them up to hit a wall of epic proportions when they inevitably collide with the harsh realities of surface dwellers.
Another enjoyable episode- yes we're chasing a macguffin around, but the 3 interested parties are entertaining to watch, and now we have a subplot involving the prisoners from episode 1 and the residents of V32. 'The Head' is probably my least favorite so far, but the episodes have been evenly matched and I still enjoyed it.
