Under The Dome: The Pink Stars Are Forming!
Last night’s “Under The Dome” was a bit slow. It was more about unraveling back stories and mysteries than what’s going on with the dome/mini-dome.
Barbie and Jim continued being blackmailed by Max, who set up a “Fight Club” to make a quick buck and recruited Barbie. Jim meanwhile took care of her living arrangements, finding out she was staying her mother who he went to high school with. Max claimed she was in a house of someone who got trapped outside the dome, and she herself got trapped inside. That was a lie. Jim took care of her mother by leaving her to drown in a lake after she fell off his boat with her hands tied. Meanwhile the new sheriff in town, along with Julia, uncovered the truth about the old sheriff and and the deal he made with Jim and Maxine. Duke lost a child to drug addiction, so he turned a blind eye to Maxine’s plot for assurance that the drug would never be sold within Chester’s Mill. In his own bizarre way, he was trying to protect the town.
Julia ended up putting everything together about her husband’s involvement in all of this, including realizing Barbie killed him, which he planned. If he killed himself, Julia would get no life insurance. So he pulled a gun on Barbie and planned his own death. Of course having Barbie secretly burry him wasn’t part of his plan. Barbie started to confess to Julia . . . who stopped him fro providing details and then forgave him? He never even got to explain that the shooting was an accident, happening when they ended up fighting over the gun he pulled on him.
Angie realized that Junior may be the fourth hand needed for the mini-dome. She shared with her brother Joe and Cassie about Junior’s mom, that he locked her up, but she believes he too had one of those weird seizures awhile back. They brought him in to see the dome, where within a trapped caterpillar formed a cocoon, and Joe realized it was the monarch of prophesy. When they all placed their hand on the dome, the pink stars rained down on the egg inside the dome, and then outside the dome. Joe realized they started coming together to form constellations.
So now I’m thinking aliens? There are only three episodes left, and something tells me we aren’t going to get a lot of answers by the end of this season. Good thing I have time to read the book this next year.
Spoilers for next week after the jump.
