Peek Inside Under The Dome's Mass Grave

"Legacy" (Season 3, Episode 10 of Under The Dome) was explosive. The women of Chester's Mill sacrificed their lives for the new queen, Patrick is still alive and trapped in a clear containment chamber, and Eva's baby reached full-term in a matter of days.

Check out these exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and insider stories—like how the crew made Eva's belly. Click through to the end and read a special questionnaire from Staff Writer Andres Fischer-Centeno.

A lot of time, effort, and changes go into planning each episode. This is Director Dennie Gordon's storyboard for this week's intense shoot-out scene between the Kinship and the Resistance at Coggins' Funeral Home.

It gets pretty hot during the summer in Wilmington, North Carolina. So hot, in fact, that the candles on set melted without ever being lit!

We all saw Patrick quickly lose his mind in this week's episode after touching the egg. After getting him out of the lab and away from the egg, Dr. Marston sealed Patrick—played by Paul McCrane—in a pod for the safety of himself and others. 

In order for it to appear as though Patrick was floating in his sealed containment pod, Paul McCrane was suspended with a harness. The director's chair offered two camera views of a suspended Patrick to ensure that the moment was captured perfectly. 

We all watched in horror as the women of Chester's Mill sacrificed their lives to usher in the new queen. Christine did say that everyone must give their all to the Kinship, but little did we know that included their lives. 

After applying the appropriate amount of ghoulish makeup, the sacrificed women were disturbingly arrayed in the mass grave with the help of Stunt Coordinator Peter King. 

After they gave their lives for the Kinship, It was even more tragic seeing the women of Chester's Mill tossed into an unmarked mass grave like trash. Behind the scenes, stunt coordinator Peter King safely assisted the women into the grave. The scene may have looked disturbingly real, but rest assured, no women were harmed in the making of this episode. 

A team of departments gathered to plan how to perfectly capture the dramatic scene between Barbie and Julia in this week's episode. 

Easily the funniest reason to be late on the job: Getting held up by a gaggle of geese! The technology scout was late to shooting after stumbling upon these birds crossing the road.
