Big Jim and the rest aren't Under the Dome in exclusive finale clip, but all is not well 

 finale is almost here, and the extended living nightmare shared among everyone in Chester’s Mill looks like it will wrap up in expectedly violent fashion.

In an exclusive clip from the finale, Big Jim and others from the resistance wake up to find tha they are no longer under the dome — though unfortunately no one uses that exact phrase. But just because they’re free from its translucent boundaries does not mean their lives are free of danger just yet. Joe is missing, Junior is still possessed by the life force, and the military is moving in on the survivors.

Find out who makes it out of the struggle alive when the 

 series finale airs Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, and stay tuned to EW for coverage of all things under, over, and around the dome.
