Dorothy Weaver, better known as Dodee, was a main character in CBS' Under the Dome. Dodee was a graduate student working as an engineer at Phil's radio station in Chester's Mill. She uses the knowledge she learned from her engineering major to pick up radio signals from outside of The Dome. She was able to speak sign language and read lips, a skill she picked up from her deaf mother.

"Pilot"[]
Dodee talks with Phil about how they are the only radio station on air. Phil tells her that it's only a blackout and that it's nothing to worry about. She tells him that the other radio stations would have used their backup generators if it was only a blackout. Phil isn't really concerned and just tells her that their ratings are going to be amazing. She then tries to go on the TV to see if she can get a signal, but she isn't even able to get a regular broadcast signal. She once again expresses her worry to Phil, saying that "it could be solar flares disrupting the entire grid". Suddenly, Big Jim comes knocking on their door, demanding to be let in. Big Jim breaks in and demands to make an emergency broadcast to prevent the potential deaths of numerous people. Dodee reluctantly allows him into the broadcasting room.
Later on, she shows Phil a broadcast that calls the thing trapping them inside of Chester's Mill, a dome.

Their gadget leads them towards Joe and Norrie, in which they admit that they're causing the power and show both Dodee and Julia the video they filmed with their seizures. When it starts raining, Julia realizes that the Dome is using both Joe and Norrie for something unknown. Dodee doesn't fall for this but Julia says that they can't let anyone know about Joe and Norrie.
The next day, Dodee is set to build a device to track the strong source of interference that believed to originate from inside the dome. She discovers that the source is Norrie and Joe...
