In the show, the bomb has a name called MOAB. In military field, it is one kind of bombs. M.O.A.B. is short for Massive Ordnance Air Burst that is used to destroy hardened targets. It has a nickname - Mother Of All Bomb, which is still shortened to M.O.A.B. In the show, people in the town called it missile. Actually, M.O.A.B. is not a missile. A missile has a booster, but M.O.A.B. doesn't have it. M.O.A.B. is dropped from the airplane.
In this episode, we heard "Moab" twice. The second time is people are talking about the bomb, and the first time is the priest is talking to Big Jim. He said God said "Moab" to him. Moab is the historical name for a mountainous strip of land in Jordan. The land lies alongside much of the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The existence of the Kingdom of Moab is attested to by numerous archeological findings. In Biblical times, the nation was often in conflict with its Israelite neighbors to the west.

Back to the show, there is nothing happened to the dome although the big bomb was dropped on it. It is good that people in town are still alive, but they are still trapped. What will happen next? Looking forward to next episode!
