Last Night’s TV: Under the Dome, Project Runway, and More (SPOILERS!)

VIEW IN BROWSER THIS ISSUE: Under the Dome, Project Runway, Big Brother, How to Get Away With Murder TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT Ding Dong the Dome is Dead! CBS BECAUSE: It's a good thing Thursday night was Under the Dome's series finale, otherwise they might have to change the name of the show. Barbie, Big Jim and the whole gang finally made it out from under that pesky, pesky (homicidal) dome! So, everything should be roses, butterflies, absolutely-no-aliens now... right? READ OUR RECAP Under the Dome CBS WHAT HAPPENED: Freudian confusion abounded Thursday night as Barbie's be-wigged daughter, Dawn, stepped in as the new reigning dome queen, forcing the kinship to locate amethyst chunks and imprisoning most everybody else. And about the time it becomes clear that whistling (whistling!) will be a large factor in Dawn's plan to bring down the dome, you know it just might work. But as EW recapper Jonathon Dornbush pointed out, "That doesn't mean they're all done with this hellmouth of a town." Once the dome is destroyed and Barbie has stepped up to kill his Damien-like offspring, the FBI explains to the Chester's Mill survivors that the truth -- body-snatching aliens, amethysts, adult queen bee babies who say, "Hi dad" to their similarly aged fathers -- simply won't fly. And with that comes a patented "series finale one-year time jump." Happily living a no-aliens-here-no-way lie, Barbie and Julia are traveling the open road and getting engaged, Norrie has joined the Army and tracked down Joe, and Hunter, Lily and Big Jim are all working for the government... which is how they become privy to something that causes them to bring the old dome-team back together: Dawn is still alive and she's got a new army of minions hunting the missing egg -- her class of kindergarteners. The. End. (Or is it?! Under the Dome: Return of the Egg coming Fall 2016, right here on CBS.) WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: UTD executive producer Neal Baer, for one, is very satisfied with the series' ending. He told TV Line that though he wouldn't have turned down a season 4, he was happy with the ending they offered on Thursday night: "We made it so there could be another [season]... but it wasn't necessary." No, it's probably not necessary, but you can't blame an egg for trying. READ OUR RECAP Project Runway Lifetime WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: EW recapper Dalene Rovestine has a warning for you about Thursday night's, uh, intimate Project Runway: "If you are one of those people who is bothered by the word 'panty,' this is not the episode for you." Indeed, this challenge is all about bras and (!) panties, as Heidi Klum asks the designers to create a lingerie set for Heidi Klum Intimates, with the winning look to be reproduced for sale as part of her collection. Apparently for Blake, anything below a woman's collar bone is one big, flesh-colored question mark, so he struggles right from the start, but Marlene feels so confident she doesn't even use the provided bra as a base for her lingerie. And it's confidence that wins the day, earning Marlene a new bra-and-panty set for sale on Heidi Klum's website, and Blake a trip back to whatever life keeps him from ever walking through a single Macy's lingerie department. WHAT HAPPENED: Blake may have played up his cluelessness during his run on the show, but he was entertaining, or at least Modern Family actress Julie Bowen thinks so. While watching Thursday night's episode she tweeted, "Howling with joy when Blake calls 'that vague frontal area' of a woman 'geshlapus' on @ProjectRunway. #onomatopoeia." Do we think Julie Bowen might now know what onomatopoeia means, or... ? READ OUR RECAP Big Brother CBS WHAT HAPPENED: Another day in the Big Brother house, another day of Vanessa making outrageous demands that everyone totally goes along with while simultaneously apologizing and offering their firstborn children to her. Even though Liz is the stronger player, with both twins on the chopping block, the now dominant but yet-to-be-named Vanessa/Steve/Johnny Mac (Van-evy Mac?) alliance decided to evict Julia, bringing Vanessa one step closer to actually getting a firstborn out of one-true-loves, Liz and Austin. EW recapper Darren Franich laid out the dramatic implications: "They ended two and a half months of a veritable Twin Twist regime," and shifted the power away from the season's tightest trio. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: It's hard to imagine Vanessa not winning at this point, but it's also pretty easy to picture any of these final five winning. For that reason, Buddy TV is a little baffled at the choice to keep Liz around: "What's going on? The useless pawns NEVER get evicted over stronger competitors." Don't worry... even when no one else knows what's going on, you can always count on Vanessa being six steps ahead, tapping her fingers together like Mr. Burns, and gearing up the ol' tear ducts, just in case.
