This episode is in memory of David Lynch (1946-2025). 

It’s a bittersweet day on Spook!, as Joe and Nicole venture further through the mystery of Laura Palmer’s death. Along the way, they venture into the questionable disguises of some returning characters, and Nicole gives her theories as to what happened to Uncle Ben in the MCU. But on a sadder note, the passing of Twin Peaks co-creator and director David Lynch hangs in the background. He was an inspiration to countless people, and his singular style can never truly be replicated. He was a true visionary, and he will be greatly missed.
