In the Season 2 premiere, when Junior becomes unconscious, he experiences a dream. In the dream, he holds a snow globe marked "ZENITH" with a model of the city and its obelisk inside. He shakes the globe and the liquid inside turns to blood. He drops the globe and proceeds to walk around the city. For a while, there is nobody else in the town. Eventually, he encounters his mother, Pauline Rennie, whom he presumed to be dead. When he recalls the dream later on, he notes that it felt very realistic.
