Thicker Than Water

Julia thinks about the circle of life with the death of Alice and the new baby born. Meanwhile Norrie believes that Joe is the responsible for the death of her mother since he walked with her to the center of the dome. Julia asks Joe to show the black egg in the center of the dome and they realize that the color changed to pink. Out of the blue, Julia has a vision of Joe saying "the monarch will be crowned". Big Jim expels Junior from home. Ollie plans to control Chester's Mill with the water and food and Big Jim intends to use the law to take control of his land. However Barbie finds that Ollie's well is connected underground to the town's reservoir and he intends to blow up the well to drain the water to the reservoir. Big Jim organizes an armed group to invade Ollie's land but Junior joins Ollie's militia. Soon Ollie tells that his mother committed suicide. When the war begins, Barbie's plan succeeds and he discovers Big Jim's true intention.

"Thicker than Water" is another episode where bad things happen with no consequences. There is a war with five casualties ended with no other trauma but the relationship between Big Jim and Junior. After an intriguing pilot, the plot is not well developed and the situations become repetitive. My vote is six.
