Dale Barbara (Mike Vogel), more affectionately known as Barbie, has grown to one of my favorite characters in “Under the Dome.” Unfortunately for him, he may soon become one of the least favorite people in Chesters Mills.
According to TVGuide.com, a photo from the Sept. 9 episode, “Exigent Circumstances,” shows Barbie being arrested by Sherriff Linda (Christina Martinez). We know of at least two reasons Barbie could get arrested:
No.1 – He is has dealings with Max Seagrave (Natalie Zea) who is obviously a criminal and, according to CBS.com, forces him to join her black market dealings.
No. 2 – He killed Julia’s husband.
It could very well be the latter. CBS released an official description of Tuesday’s and Sept. 2’s episode, according to KSiteTV.com.
“Julia uncovers the truth about her husband's disappearance and unravels some of Chester's Mill's darkest secrets,” reads the description for Aug. 26. “Meanwhile, Maxine shows Barbie how she plans to take control of the town.”
It looks like things only get worse for Barbie the following week.
“Big Jim turns the town against Barbie when the truth about his past is revealed,” the Sept. 2 description reads. “Meanwhile, Maxine makes it personal when she confronts Barbie's closest ally.”
You would think that with Barbie’s military training he’d be able to hide out for more than one episode. Nonetheless it seems like he’s caught in the Sept. 9 episode and hopefully for his sake, Chesters Mills hasn’t resorted to capital punishment.
The good news about this description is that we don’t have to guess what Maxine is planning. In the promo for Episode 10, “Let the Games Begin,” Maxine displays her shiny new fight club to Barbie. You can watch the promo here.
Max could always add more to her scheme but at least we have a glimpse for now.
Last week’s episode, “The Fourth Hand” left us wondering who will be the final person to activate the mini-dome.
Who do you think the fourth person should be? Comment Below.
“Under the Dome” airs Mondays at 10/9c on CBS.
