'Under the Dome' Preview: Something Even More Wicked This Way Comes?

Just when you think things at Under the Dome couldn’t get more complicated, the writers throw in another twist. We’ve got Aktaion helping the Resistance who are fighting the Kinship. But now, it looks like all three may have to band together to fight someone new.

Last week, the Kinship tried beating Joe into submission to get him to help bring down the Dome. On this week’s episode, though, it looks like they’re going to try reasoning with him. “Listen to me, Joe. Listen very carefully,” Christine says as she leads him to the calcifying Dome. “They destroyed our world and they’ll destroy yours.”

“They” who? The idea that there could be another — even worse — alien race headed our way certainly seems like a good incentive to take down the Dome. But what if it’s just a trick? Christine’s obviously not above a little lying to get what she wants.

Under the Dome airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.
