[1] Joe (Colin Ford), Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz), Angie (Britt Robertson), and Junior (Alexander Koch) release their grip from the mini-dome and see white spots all over the barn, which are supposed to link up the constellations that they created.
Junior then heads home and finds his father Big Jim (Dean Norris), who arms him with a gun and bullets saying to stay at the house and beware of Maxine (Natalie Zea), who is threatening to hurt those closest to him.
Angie then heads to the house pleading for Junior to return and help her, Joe and Norrie with a situation with the mini-dome.
As the funnel cloud grows, the wind picks up a bench, which almost hits Angie, but is saved by Junior.
Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) is shot by Maxine after Barbie (Mike Vogel) rejected her in the previous episode.
Big Jim later heads to the radio station and finds Dodee (Jolene Purdy), who during the storm managed to gain access to a message from the military, saying that they have found Barbie.
Big Jim hears this message, and then goes on the radio, framing Barbie for numerous crimes that occurred over the past few days.
"[3] Andrea Reiher of Zap2it said "The majority of the Under the Dome book is about Big Jim "wanting a kingdom" and slowly but surely wresting control of the town away from anyone who might get in his way.
