Abraham and Dariela reunite with the team as they try and stop the hybrids from taking over New York City.

This description sounds like a low budget cross between Sharknado 2 (the one in New York) and Escape From New York with Kurt Russell (which I'd be okay with), but the episode title, "Welcome to the Terra Dome" Instead suggests a cross between  *shudder* Under the Dome and the equally bad Terra Nova, which I really hope is not how the writers are now seeing this show.

Nah,  Its another episode title that is a play on a song title.  Public Enemy-Welcome To The Terrordome.

So the "hybrid hawks" can fly clear across the country in under a couple of minutes.  Not even a BlackBird can do that (I'm talking about the spy plane, not an actual......oh, you know what I mean).

They appeared out of nowhere and then were gaining on a jet in flight..

The snark was was strong with Mitch this episode -- glad to have you back at full power Mitch.

I love that Mitch called back to the earthquake-causing sloth, only for the show to up the ante with hybrid vultures that have extra muscles to cause seismic tremors that can trigger volcanoes.

Mitch is right -- Jamie as the kick-ass vigilante in those tight leather pants, it has a certain appeal.

And what the hell is with Abigail and her references being done with this planet or something like that -- does she have another planet where she needs to be ?

Ha! I don't know what it is about that line, but I'm going to have to find a way to use it in the near future.
@OttoDBusDriver, I think you've been taking snark lessons from Mitch.

She certainly 'acts' like an alien.

When the plane approached New York, it looked like it was pulling a Sully and going to land on the Hudson.

I also love that anyone can fly the plane via the tablet -- don't have to worry about the pilot anymore, or filing flight plans, or communicating with air traffic control.

Does everyone else on the team know that Dariela cheated on Abe ?  It doesn't seem like it.

Abe and Dariela's dog is named Pizza ?

So Dariela is a Shepherd? Actually, that makes sense. 

I didn't get that impression.  I thought she just called up/hired some tough people/bounty hunters she knew to nab Clem for the switch.  Question is, who are these others who will pay even more for Clem?

Why is everyone sitting at the Bitter table (looking at you, Jackson).  OK, Jamie's book made his life almost impossible, but that wasn't really her fault.  We're in an animal apocalypse and he's still kvetching about something from years ago!!!  Along with Mitch, complaining to Abe about not raising Clem and OMG jeez come on people.

Mitch was in good form - loved his rundown of what he's been up to and I liked him being kind of put out that Abe has more medical knowledge (for now).  As silly as this show is, it's these kinds of personality things that I enjoy.   Plus BB's delivery is so good, like his casual aside about Jamie's vengeance working for him.

Jamie's tablet flies the plane.  Of course it does.    Abe called Jackson "Rafiki" aw.

I could not stop laughing at the drone leading the hybrids away and our heroes firing at it with a crossbow when the battery's dying.  If we're not going to get random animal attacks, I'll take these nonsensical plans, TVYM.

Jamie killed the Falcon!  There goes Dariela's plan.  See, this is what happens when friends don't talk to each other.

I doubt it - they've been out of touch with each for a while, I don't know when it would have come up.

I'm growing to detest Dariela. She cheats on Abe then gives Clementine to bad guys, betraying Mitch in the process. What a Bitch i want Jamie to kick the shit out of her and Abe to divorce her. Also I hope to god he haven't met Clem's baby daddy cause it being Logan is gross

Maybe they're telegraphing the justified demise of Dariela? 
And maybe that's why Logan is sporting [or at least tryting to sport] a porn 'stache?

I kind of love how indifferent the cops in general where to the whole "Jaime killed head Reiden Global lady" thing.  Arguably one of the most powerful corporate leaders in this world had just been assassinated, and they just casually drag an unbounded suspect by the arm to Logan, and wait for him to actually cuff her. Then again, considering everything going on with the hybrids, maybe they're just happy to deal with a straight-up murder.

The band is back together, but not exactly in sync, as Jackson holds a grudge against Jaime for her book inadvertently exposing him to the Shepherds, Dariela and Abe are contemplating turning over Clementine to save Issac, and pretty much everyone is giving Logan the side-eye (really can't blame them there.)  They need to get it together, because they got hybrids on their asses!

So, after being so gung-ho about it, Abe ends up deciding not to turn in Clementine because the team is "family" as well.  But, of course, before he can tell Dariela this, she had already secretly reached a deal and Clementine is now captured.  But since Reiden Global bigwig is now dead, the kidnappers seem to be preparing to just sell Clementine to the black market.  All while casually name-dropping Dariela, which I'm sure Clementine overheard, so this is going to get real good!

Abigail escapes for now, but Logan did put a bullet in her.  Also, Jackson never told the team that she's his sister, right?  All the secrets!

Mitch was at Snark Level 10 in this one.  Never change, Billy Burke.  Just keep rolling your eyes, making quips, and cash those paychecks, buddy!

So I know I said that I loved last week's episode, but I really loved this week's episode. I could pretend that it was because of the super-fun opening sequence (the attacking hybrids, Mitch's hilariously concise recap to Jackson about where he's been for the last ten years, Jackson's droll response) or that it was due to Abe and Dariela's joyful reactions to seeing Mitch again (more hugging! I'm such a sucker for hugging on this show) or the surprisingly enjoyable interactions between Mitch and Logan at Reiden headquarters:

Logan: (shoots at the case holding the hybrid beacon to try to disarm it)

Mitch: (after ducking for cover) ARE YOU CRAZY?

Logan: It was worth a shot.

Mitch: Was it?

But the real reason I loved this episode so much was because of Mitch and Jamie. I am, shall we say, invested in their relationship as a couple, and I've been waiting a long, long time for them to finally get it together and...get together. And they did. Finally. Oh, sure, Jamie ended up under arrest by the end of the hour, but I have faith that those two will eventually manage to be happy together. Maybe even for several episodes in a row.

It's a small dream, but it's all mine.

I don't think there's a baby daddy. I think that the intellectual property that she stole was an embryo.
