Click to read Part 1
James Rennie begins sending all of Barbara's remaining friends into exile or jail, including the town's only doctor and journalist. Meanwhile, the kids have found what appears to be the epicenter of the dome, and it has a border around it that is apparently both radioactive and causes visions. Also, most of the children have had spasms in which they see pink stars falling or a Halloween disaster. The pink stars have already happened. They looked that way due to the pollution collecting on the inner surface of the Dome. Outside, Barbie's friend, Colonel James O. Cox is planning a strike against Rennie. He has uncovered evidence of tax fraud, drugs, etc, all of which are true and Rennie is racing to destroy while the Dome is down.
They have also organized a visitation day, during which Barbara's escape will occur and the police will destroy Rennie's meth lab. But of course, everything goes wrong. Barbara and the doctor escape, but there is a fight with the keepers of the meth. A grenade is blown, and the lab goes up in flames, setting everything inside the Dome on fire. This turns the air inside into unbreathable poison and kills most of the Chester's Mill population. Barbara and his survivors stay alive by fans from the Army which are pushing a thin supply of oxygen through the barrier. The only hope is to convince the captors to release them. It has been found that by touching the generator of the Dome, one can see the extraterrestrial creatures having a laugh at their expense. The leatherheads. In a final attempt, the journalist Julia Shumway risks everything to try to get some pity from them. She succeeds, and the Dome drifts away into a peaceful sky.
