Under the Dome 2x06 Recap
Episode
six of CBS’ summer hit Under the Dome
was full of exciting reveals and some deadly twists. The residents of Chester’s
Mill found themselves battling a dust storm which could clog the dome and cut
off the air supply while Barbie and Sam investigate the tunnels found below the
school in the previous episode.
SPOILERS
BELOW
Junior
and Sam head straight down into the tunnel behind the locker without waiting
for backup. After all - Junior thinks Lyle is down there! Luckily, Rebecca
calls for Barbie and he heads over to the school to join the boys in the
tunnel. Junior finds Pauline’s journal and picks it up only to trigger an
explosion which cuts Sam and Barbie off from Junior and the way out.
At
the diner Jim takes it upon himself to warn Julia that eventually she’ll
disappoint the people and they’ll turn on her. Instead of getting all worked up
about it she decides to reveal to Melanie that the egg is currently lying at
the bottom of the lake. When she hears of the cave-in she rushes to the school
to do everything she can to rescue Barbie, something which leads Jim to instil
doubt into the residents of Chester’s Mill that she is unfit to lead them.
In
the tunnels Sam lets slip that he did indeed know who Melanie was all along but
he couldn’t think of a way to bring up that Melanie was his girlfriend from 25
years ago. I don’t particularly like the guy but I can definitely see where he
is coming from. How exactly do you casually mention in conversation that the
girl you helped saved from drowning is the same girl you dated when you were a
teen? Barbie nearly dies falling off a cliff but Sam manages to save him.
Barbie
and Sam have a really touching heart to heart where Sam reveals that it was
Lyle who killed Melanie all those years ago. He’s not as keen to reveal that he
was the one to kill Angie but he lets it slip after Barbie notices the scar on
his shoulder. Sam tells Barbie that he believes he has to kill the other three
hands so that the dome will come down, then says that he will kill himself for
all the horrible things he’s done. In the hallway above the boys Julia decides
to trust Rebecca (and strangely enough I do too) and the two blow the cave-in
away to get to Barbie and Sam. Sam hears the explosion and tells Barbie that he
will kill the three hands himself after he sees Julia and the others die
because of the dome. Shocking Barbie (and me) Sam jumps into the chasm and
falls into the darkness.
While
Julia is busying herself with freeing Barbie and Sam, Jim is busy trying to
save the town from the dust storm which could cause the walls of the dome to
become clogged, cutting off the air supply. No one trusts Jim after what he
tried to do, but since Julia is nowhere to be found and Jim technically saves
Ben’s life after he stupidly went out into the dust storm to skateboard, the
residents of the town decide to trust him and he rallies the town into making a
windmill to clear away the dust. None of this works in Julia’s favour since Jim
uses her absence as a way to prove to the townspeople that she doesn’t care
about them.
Things
still aren’t right between Joe and Norrie and they begin the episode arguing at
the Rennie household. Joe packs his things and leaves, since he figures there’s
no point him staying there if they’re no longer together. He ends up at Angie’s
place where he is eventually found by Junior, Melanie and Norrie who inform him
that Lyle is going to kill them for being one of the four hands.
The
four of them make the decision to go and get the egg from the lake, and since
Melanie was one of the original four hands they figured she would be able to
take Angie’s place. That doesn’t sit well with Joe but being the easy-going kid
he is he allows it to happen and the group recover the egg from the lake. Back
at Angie’s place Joe and Norrie make up and the teens touch the egg together.
It begins to glow and releases more pink stars which this time form the outline
of an obelisk. Could it be the one from Zenith? My guess is yes. There can’t be
too many of those in the world.
So there you have it. Sam admitted he was the one to
kill Angie and then proceeded to jump off a cliff, Jim regained control of the
town after not even twenty-four hours of Julia being in charge, and the dome is
pointing the teens to Zenith. Looks like Zenith is a fairly important city this
season. What secrets do you think the city holds?
Stay random!
