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.

It's a normal October day in Chester's Mill, Suddenly people traveling between the Mill and its surrounding cities collide with a dome that came out of nowhere. It slices animals in half as it comes down, and birds crash into it by the thousands. Trapped inside the Dome are Dale Barbara, a retired Army captain now called upon to take control; James Rennie, the sinister leader of the town; and many ill mannered teenagers. Although Barbara is the declared leader, Rennie knows the outside cannot do anything, and refuses to relinquish control. He hires the bad boys as policemen, who soon subdue, rape, and kill the people of the town.
