The show Under the Dome season 2 episode 8, titled Awakening, begins with Barbie, Sam, Junior, and Rebecca on a search mission to find Melanie. They spotted her on the security cameras walking around the woods. Big Jim and Julia are also following the group, and they still have conflicting ideas about how to handle the dome crisis.

Melanie has been wandering the woods confused and disorientated. She remembers a lot about her past and where she believes the dome came from. On the other hand, Barbie is suspicious of Melanie, who seems to have strange abilities such as the power to move anything with her mind and communicate telepathically with others. Although Melanie is an enigma to everyone, Barbie is convinced she is not of this world and is the key to solving the riddle of the dome.

While on their hunt for Melanie, the group of four comes across a mysterious tunnel. They explore the tunnel and discover an underground village filled with artifacts from a time before Chester's Mill existed. The group finds distinctive paintings that match the drawings that Melanie sketched before losing her memories. The discovery fills their curiosity even more and makes them contemplate more on what's going on.

Meanwhile, Big Jim and Julia are on a mission to secure the safety of Chester's Mill by raiding the supplies of other towns before others discover the area. However, things go south when they discover a group of people whom Big Jim had met previously when he went out to survey the area. To everyone's surprise, these people have another way out of the dome and plan to expose the government's involvement in putting the dome in place.

As Junior faces a life and death situation, he finally reveals to Barbie and Sam the true nature of Melanie and her role in Chester's Mill. He tells them that according to his mother, Melanie is the first person put under the dome. Her coming back had some spiritual or supernatural meaning, and in some sense, she has control over the dome. Junior also notes that he's had a strange connection with Melanie since she arrived in Chester's Mill.

Rebecca, unable to shake off the knowledge she found in the tunnel, becomes obsessed with the idea of exploring the underground village. She believes that the village is the reason the dome exists and that it holds answers to everything. Her obsession is fueled when she comes across an underground garden with valuable plants.

As the group continues searching for Melanie, they stumble upon the origin of the tunnels. They discover that the tunnels' purpose was to exploit the newly found valuable plant in their garden, which was experimented to be used in the military. All of it was once done in secrecy, and even the government had lost control over the situation.

Shockingly, the group finally discovers Melanie deep in the woods, floating in the air with actual bruises on her. She seems to have an epiphany, referencing her past and warning Barbie about the dome. Suddenly a strange beacon appears in the sky, and Melanie gets into position, revealing that something much bigger is happening in the dome.

In conclusion, Under the Dome season 2 episode 8, Awakening, is a thrilling episode filled with discoveries and revelations. The episode is filled with unexpected and shocking plot twists that keep the audience on their seats. With the mystery of the dome deepening, it'll be interesting to see how much more the audience gets to uncover.
