Coop will not leave Ronnette Pulaski alone, but it’s worth it guys: he found a letter “B”. He fills Harry and Albert in about his giant visions, and then Harry and Albert go enemies to lovers. Leland tells Coop about his childhood memory of Bob, with new information for us: he wanted to “play with fire”. Blackie and (gasp!) Jean Renault concoct a frankly insane scheme to get Audrey addicted to heroin and ransom her to Ben Horne. Jean wants Dale, presumably because he thinks he killed his frere Jacques. But wait! With Jacoby’s meditative help, Coop and Harry find out Leland killed Jacques. Anyway! One-armed Philip Gerard shows up, but when he sees a picture of Bob he freaks out and tries to take some medication. Without it, he points… but to where?

Meanwhile, Lucy’s baby daddy Dick Tremaine is introduced, the guy they wrote the Legally Blonde  musical “Gay or European?” song about. Dale is onto Shelley, but not the Asian Man watching him. Nadine is out of her coma, and ready for senior year. Donna is so pissed off that James and Maddy keep making the insane love song from last episode play in the soundtrack. She complains about it to her new friend, Laura’s shut-in meals on wheels confidante Harold Smith… but he has Laura’s diary???

Garland Briggs has a special message for Dale – from space! And he gets a phone call from Audrey, who’s used her wiles to get info on Laura from Emory Battis, the perfume counter creep – but she just might be caught!

Meanwhile: Donna’s meals on wheels quest introduces her to an old lady, a magician boy, and a recluse. Andy’s sterile, but he still has to take baths. Leo’s in a coma – for now – and Bobby sees dollar signs in 1990s America’s famously lavish disability aid program. The show is still insistent on being threatened by the presence of an Asian man. And to cap things off, Donna and Maddy compete for James’ affection in an insane song, but are interrupted by a profoundly disturbing vision of BOB.

Twin Peaks S2E1: May The Giant Be With You

Dale’s been shot! What a cliffhanger! It’s September 1990, and I’ve been itching for some narrative resolution all summer! But David Lynch says no no no – instead, you get the slowest glass of warm milk in the world, and some Giant Prophecies! After (kinda) recovering, Coop gets brought up to speed on the crazy events of the finale and learns the following clues:

• Laura knew some weird poetry
• Jacoby had her necklace
• Leo has an alibi
• Whoever killed Jacques Renault smelled like engine oil
• and Jacques’ body was in a… smiling bag‼️

He focuses the case on finding the “third man” present at Laura’s murder. Also, Albert’s back, and he’s still an asshole.

Meanwhile, Audrey barely fends off her father at One-Eyed Jack’s with the help of a Venetian mask, but is locked in her room for it, as her subplot makes the official tone switch from saucily playful to ominously dire. Leland’s hair turns white overnight, and he’s joined a barbershop quartet about it – and by the way, Maddy had a weird rug dream? It really freaks her out. She gets in an “act like Laura” contest with Donna about it. Other stuff: We learn about Ed and Nadine’s backstory. Bobby has a surprisingly touching moment with his father. Josie’s in Seattle… shopping? But a mysterious man wants to talk to her. The hospital food will kill ya. And last but not least, coma-bound Ronnette Pulaski has a vision/flashback of Laura’s murder, in the most genuinely terrifying sequence on the show to date.

Season 1 goes out with a bang, with as much capital-p Plot as almost the rest of the season combined. Jacoby gets the shit beaten out of him! Coop catches weaselly Jacques Renault, with the help of Andy’s surprisingly straight shooting – but then Leland kills him! Andy’s gunplay gets him a conversation with Lucy, and she’s pregnant! Leo burns the mill down, with Shelly and Catherine in it! Then he gets shot – again! James gets grilled by the cops after listening to Laura’s tape with Maddy and Donna! Catherine and Pete kinda make up! Hank is a piece of shit to Josie, but at least he shot Leo! Nadine tries to kill herself! Audrey may have bit off more than she can chew with her “do sex work at the high concept brothel her dad secretly owns” plan! And to wrap things up, somebody shoots coop!!!! WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!

Dale Cooper becomes the world’s first cop to not try to sleep with a high schooler. Audrey pursues her investigation, following the trail from the Horne store perfume desk to One-Eyed Jack’s. Donna, James, and Maddy disguise Maddy as Laura to lure out Dr. Jacoby, but they’re being followed by Bobby, who’s being followed by... someone?

Also: a history lesson on the sick freak who invented motion pictures, and a (pretty long) tangent on Officially Catholic bouncy castles. We recorded this before Pope Francis died, but hope he's bouncing with Jesus now.

DISCO ELYSIUM SPOILERS TALK 2:33-11:51

The Log Speaks! The Investigation makes headway both mundane and uncanny, finding out that Jacques Renault was managing advertisements for both Laura and Ronnette in Flesh World. In terms of the spirit world, however, the log is now ready to speak, and reveals potent clues about the night of Laura's murder. The boys then find TWO cabins, the second containing the scene of at least some of the crimes done to Laura.

Meanwhile, the Icelanders are coming, Leland tries and fails to be normal, Audrey gets deeper into both her investigation AND Dale's bedsheets, James and Donna team up with Maddy even though James is sad that is mom is a slut, Bobby has a no good very bad therapy session, Josie is on some double triple scheme shit, and, say it with me folks, LEO JOHNSON GETS WHAT HE HAD COMING!!!!!!!

The investigation continues apace as Sarah Palmer's vision, a bust on Jacques Renault’s apartment, and bevy of birds answer some questions and raise even more. Not to be left out of the investigative frenzy, Audrey and Donna both vow to uncover the truth behind Laura's death themselves. Meanwhile, Coop gets some Boys Time in with the Gun Boys, the plot to burn down the mill heats up, Bobby is up to no good, and Norma's husband Hank is up for parole, despite his insistence on ominously sucking off a domino….

After last week’s crazy cliffhanger, Cooper announces almost directly to the camera that his dream contains clues that will solve everything, but also that he forgot the most important part. As a sign that he has become a bona fide citizen of Twin Peaks, the Bookhouse Boys invite him into their secret club dedicated to fighting the evil in the woods. To that end, they’ve kidnapped a French Canadian. Laura Palmer’s funeral inspires the men of Twin Peaks to punch each other. Meanwhile, Audrey uses a secret passageway to spy on her family, Josie fears for her life, Norma’s husband might be out of jail soon, and Leland is really breaking down, unconsoled by the appearance of a mysterious niece… but doesn’t she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer?

With the help of his colleague Albert and the power of throwing rocks, Dale makes some stunning advances in the case. Meanwhile, Ben Horne is a goofy dipshit, the bozo boys get a scare from Leo, Josie does some snooping, and Nadine scores huge.

Also: two delicious waters, a surprising amount of Elden Ring talk, and a plea from a cat named Mushroom :)
