The second episode of Under the Dome was a great follow up to the season two premiere from last week.
Last week we were left with the major shock that was Angie McAlister's death. The episode starts off with a sense of normality with the fate of Angie still unknown to the town, but soon Angie is discovered by Junior after his father, Big Jim, tells him to go get the high school ready for the reopening of classes. Junior, devastated, finds Angie's body covered in blood and monarch butterflies.
The town finds out about Angie's death and gathers around the school while an investigation is taking place. There are many accusations that are flown around but none of them seem to hold any water. At around this time Joe Mcalister (Angie's younger brother) and Norrie, who haven't been told about Angie's death yet stumble across the mysterious girl who was the last one to see Angie alive. Joe and Norrie take the girl somewhere safe and end up seeing the commotion going on at the school. Unfortunately Joe realizes something horrible has happened to Angie because everyone there gives him pitying looks (good job guys). Barbie is tasked with delivering the news to Joe, who understandably, doesn't take it well.
Angie's death isn't the only thing going on in Chester's Mill however, new character Rebecca Pine discovers that there is an infestation of caterpillars/butterflies that are threatening to devour the towns resources. While newly appointed deputy Phil Bushey works on finding Angie's killer, Rebecca, Barbie, and Big Jim team up to fix the infestation problem.
While I really did enjoy this episode I wish there had been more time spent on the fact that suddenly everyone in town just accepts that Barbie was innocent of the murders he was falsely accused of last season. It seems unrealistic that people would just forget about the people who died last season without a second thought.
I do have to say that Colin Ford, The actor who plays Joe McAlister did an excellent job portraying the pain and despair he was in after he found out about his sister's death.
If you want to find out who the prime suspect is in Angie's death be sure to watch this episode of Under the Dome! and for those of you that have watched it, what did you think of the episode? Let me know in the comments!
