Episode 24 - The Condemned Woman

Today: Coop and Albert get nosy, the Angels explore the art of poesy, Ed & Norma get real cozy...and--no, really guys--what the hell happened to Josie?!

Cooper and Albert zero in on the culprit behind who shot Cooper in his hotel room, as well as who shot Jonathan in the Seattle airport...and the result of their investigation isn't going to sit well with Sheriff Truman, who already knows the truth. Elsewhere, Josie comes face-to-face with yet another figure from her sordid past, and the wheels are set in motion, picking up speed as they carry her to her eventual fate.

Also: Audrey falls head over heels for a near-total stranger! Ben Horne turns a new leaf! Nadine breaks up with Ed! Norma breaks up with Hank! Josie breaks up with life on the corporeal plane of existence! Is this finally the end of the Season 2 nadir? Who knows anything about poetry? And what's BOB got to do with this?

These questions and many more will remain largely unanswered at the end of today's episode, but don't touch that drawer pull: we're just getting started with Twin Peaks Season 2 episode 16: "The Condemned Woman"

Notes:

Aidan asked for it, so we'll deliver: here is this week's mangled translation, put through Google Translate in German, to English, to Turkish, to French, to Spanish, and then back into English: "They Have Low" (Not a bad title. I think that's what we'll refer to this episode as from now on...)

Joan Chen runs a food blog! And she posted her story, in her own words, about why she left Twin Peaks. It's lovely and bittersweet and very poignant, and it's coupled with a coconut cookie recipe that sounds kind of amazing, so definitely check it out

"The price of eggs" is absolutely a saying. We had honestly never heard it before! Clearly we have been tainted by the creepiness of JJW if our first thought was to ascribe something different to his meaning...

Here's an article from the Orlando Sentinel from 10 March 1991, about the return of Twin Peaks to TV screens following its 6-week hiatus
