Oh, thanks. Very dark… my TV is too dark.

Albert was all business and great faces of stone. W.C. Fields meets Buster Keaton in Sunset Blvd.

It is nice, but I'm not fully buying it. Ben's whole adult life has been a struggle with his shadow self and amoral urges (note his name backwards facing him on his desk). After hitting his nadir, losing his mind after being arrested for the murder of Laura Palmer, we turned to the "good" path, although not without…

Every episode should get an "A" for "Art!"

That makes the most sense, although the question then becomes, how did Tina come by this information, and why does she make Charlie promise not to repeat it? It doesn't seem like the news is public yet, or that Truman has notified Audrey, so this further implies some kind of collusion with the cartel.

Yes, this is true, and this is a major revelation that came as a huge relief. (I also loved how BEN's name on the desk appears backwards to him in the scene.)

His absence and present whereabouts is almost more disconcerting than seeing him at this point. We know Chantel and Hutch have just left South Dakota for Las Vegas, driving time: 20 hours or less.

Yeah, he's down from the mountain, but still lost.

Tammy seems too much like one of the true-hearts, such as Cooper, Briggs, Log Lady, Hawk, Truman, etc., to be have a bad bone in her body. Something is clearly going on with Diane, but, I agree, it's more complicated than merely "evil."

Maybe something also in that he is now broadcasting his truth-to-power rants and golden shovel ads from high atop White Tail Mountain, the peak opposite Blue Pine Mountain, where Briggs had his listening post, and the Martells lived.

"She's here visiting a friend of her mother whose daughter has gone missing.
The mother owns a turnip farm.
I told her to tell the mother that her daughter will turn up eventually.
She didn't get it either."

It sure was tailored.

After the scene with Ben- which confirms nothing really, except that Ben once loved a bike- leading to the scene with Audrey and Charlie talking about Billy, Paul, Chuck and Tina; leading to the scene with Natalie and her friend discussing how Angela is on the edge after losing her mom "like that" and going off her…

I was wondering about that, too. We know Earle was loaned out by the Bureau to Project Bluebook in 1965, but was removed after he became obsessed with Dugpas and a "Black Lodge"- and his time with Bluebook was classified.

As I’ve said before, Diane is like a cold, sleek, hand-held micro-cassette tape-recorder. Her red painted nail is on the ring finger and “spirit mound”- press to record. But the tape goes both ways. She can rewind what is in her mind, doesn’t even need to write it down, just follows the mnemonic.

What did we learn from Audrey’s reappearance?

"Is somebody in the house?"

After the events of "The Return"

Of all the triggers that might finally wake Special Agent Dale Cooper up, playing catch with Sonny Jim Jones… is not one of them. And, now, back to Twin Peaks.

It's not a huge time jump, but there is one, where, when the camera cuts back to the left side of the diner, the man in the sweater, who had been at the counter, is now at the cash register, and a new configuration of people are at the counter and in the background.
