6. What Is The Dome?

Well, this was... weird. Yeah, even in an episode full of strange moments, Thea being taken to some mysterious location by Alex definitely topped the lot.

The reveal that she was actually trapped inside some sort of dome wasn't particularly shocking, because it was telegraphed throughout the episode, but it's still interesting.

Firstly, there's the question of just what his dome really is? We've seen magic on the show, but nothing quite like this, and it's not clear exactly how it works, or what it's larger purpose is: are they saving Thea from Genesis by holding her there (at Malcolm's orders, I'd guess), or are they going to kill her? And just how much does Alex know?
