Don't Die



As the show progresses , I am wondering if in the end we will be gifted a version of the show that can be watched from start to finish without any final credit sequence or Roadhouse closing musical numbers. I am hoping that will be an option on the physical release of the show.
Until then.....
            Music is still in the air. The Good Coop is still hypnotized by the law enforcement statue and like a pile of mashed potatoes this means something to him.But his electricity-fried brain cant make the connections. Even the image of the badge on the officer doesn’t help him add it up.
Let's take a moment and acknowledge Kyle MacLachan’s performances in this show. Watching him as "Dougie"/Cooper is heartbreaking.Standing in place, not knowing where he is,or who he is.Barely able to respond to questions with more than a parrot of what has been said to him before. We know who Special Agent Dale Cooper was before and as admirers of the original show we so want to see our Deductive Dale return in action once again.From his smile from enjoying a piece of Norma's Double R pie to his deductive reasoning and investigatory style.
             When the security guard asks "Where is home?" And Cooper moves to touch the badge......ow.
            Each episode continues to follow the pattern of a day in the life of Twin Peaks, or in this shows case, a day in the world of Twin Peaks. With that in mind, we haven’t spent that many episodes with Dale Cooper/Dougie in his current state of no mind.
            It began in the middle of the third episode and we are only on episode six. So expecting Dale Cooper to just snap back into himself after all he has been through.(25 years in an other world where time,physics,and reality as we know it have no meaning). The physics of the Lodge may have been too much of a strain on a human body , and the puzzling nature of the place may have also been overtaxing to Coopers head.25 years of onslaught of the Lodge could do a number on even the sharpest of minds.Not to mention,the residents of the Lodge are not the best conversationalist with their backwards speech patterns and riddle me this words.Imagine only having someone who talk like that for 25 years as your form of interaction.
             And then there is the matter of the process in which Cooper had to go through to escape to this side of the coin.The beings of the Lodge are aware of the process of passing through electricity Cooper is not.Having never been through a matter transference beam before, he's probably didn’t know he lost some salt and protein. A beer would’ve cushioned his system a bit but he didn’t have that.And he certainly didn't have a towel.
              How long will it take for Cooper to come home? And , dare we think it, will he ever? There is no guarantee that Cooper will return.We have not been given any clear presentation of this series over arching story-line.Only the image of Cooper in his black suit driving a car at night seems to indicate his return to form.But we don’t know if that is really him or the Doppelganger in disguise. The story we are watching seems to imply that at some point Cooper will return to his own self and confront the Doppelganger.That this confrontation is inevitable.But what if the two never meet? What if we discover that the two are living in separate timelines with Cooper being 12 years away from the events of the Doppelganger?
              This would be an odd and empty choice for the character to leave him in this state forever by the end of the series. Bring him back only to never let him return?A fourth season was never spoken as being a possibility.Even the fact that we are receiving 18 episodes vs an original order of nine wasn’t meant to be. So its unlikely Frost/Lynch would leave this as an open thread of a story.Special Agent Dale Cooper deserves a better resolution than that.
               When Cooper(Dougie) is brought back to his house once again, I was surprised that someone was waiting for him. I expected that something terrible had happened to his "wife and child" during the previous day as Cooper/Dougie was not mentally fit to make the important phone call to the persons he owed money too.The internal Dale felt this emotionally as he knew that he would not be able to break through, resulting in the tear he shed while staring at the child in the back seat of the car.Thinking that he will not be able to stop the oncoming pain.Someone innocent will be hurt, or worse
              I anticipated that the security guard would return him to find his red door ajar and the bodies of his wife and child would be found on the floor. This would then result in Cooper/Dougie being taken to the police station while they investigate and the triggers would abound in such a setting. But also, this would connect him faster to his car explosion and the bodies.The Police might even have Cooper/Dougie be seen by a Doctor(thinking he is in shock based on his behavior)
Officer-"He seems a little disoriented , Janey-E" That’s on a good day" .Another indication that the pre Cooper Dougie was sometimes a bit out of sorts. So his current behavior,and the reactions from those around him are less suspect as this is typical. I've been thinking that maybe Dougie, who was a manufactured being, would experience these episodes when he forgot to wear the Owl Cave Ring. When not wearing the ring, the spell that was cast to keep him whole was weaker, or weakening, and as a result ,Dougie would lose focus and fade in and out. Have these episode of someone experiencing onset dementia.
The Sandwich.
              It appears to be a continuity error. Janey-E eats the same slice of the sandwich twice, even takes a bite in the same exact spot twice. When she first places the sandwich on the plate after the first bite it looks as if we are seeing that slice several bites later,almost finished. Take note, Cooper/Dougie has almost finished his sandwich by the time Janey-E is taking her first bite.A indication that Janey-E took care of Cooper/Dougie first before she herself sat down to eat something.
The satisfying crunch of her sandwich makes me hungry for one myself....be back in a moment.
MMMill..mmmiamphing..morph..ougie.....*swallows bite*
Sorry,.....good sandwich.
Still waiting for Dougie,Wheres your Car? to become a movie
             
              FINALLY, someone mentions taking Dougie to a Doctor.Granted, he supposedly has had episodes like this before, and the people who know him have only been around him for less than two days in this current situation. But could his previous behavior have been this similar? And if he ever gets to a Doctor, what would they find? There are no tests for "Just escaped from the Lodge" symptoms.
             Janey-E tells Dougie he needs to go upstairs and say goodnight to Sonny Jim. The words "Go Upstairs" stand out to Cooper to the point that he speaks them.Though later he seems to not know what that means as he walks pass the stairs and struggles to climb the steps.
But what stood out to me was that at no point does Janey-E say something like "Go say goodnight to your SON" or kid, or child . In fact,she always seems to use Sonny Jim’s name, never a choice of words that gives a direct family setting to Dougie & Sonny Jim. Is there something too this?
Sonny Jim is reading Hardy Boys 3 :Secret of the Old Mill
AHHH he bent a page of the book!! AHHHHHH
          
            Sonny Jim speaks! He seems to be dealing well with this shell of a father figure.I like that Cooper offers to share a chip but then also leaves it for the kid. And that the kid is the type that doesn’t want to eat even a single chip because he has already brushed his teeth. That to me seems like a very Dale Cooper thing to do as a child. Also, the kid has cowboy lights and decorations in his room. Is that even a thing with kids these days. Westerns are not as common anymore.Another word stands out to Cooper. "Asleep". As in he is asleep and needs to wake up.....soon.
             Can I say how much I am beginning to like Janey-E. The manner in which she takes control of the situation with the people on the phone was great.No BS.She orders THEM around.
Cooper/Dougie (Dooper?Dupe-er?) starts to work on the "case files". His innate deductive reasoning starts to come through with what appears to be some help from the Lodge. Or is this the effects of being a resident of the Lodge for 25 years amplifying his already strong investigating abilities.Connecting the dots and exposing the crimes. ( I loved the bit of music behind this scene-PLEASE be on the soundtrack)
             Moments after Cooper has connected with the word "Asleep" he is treated to the phrase :"Wake up". MIKE senses a disturbance in the works. The sound appears that is associated with the danger that "is already in our house". The stoplight turns from green to red.Something is coming to an end or stopping in its progress.
             MIKE manages to open a window into Coopers vision and seems to be trying to send something through the Lodge into this world towards Dougie/Cooper in waves.Is he sending a little Lodge magic to help Cooper wake up? MIKE cant stop what is coming, but does he knows death is on its way? Or could Cooper be in danger of slipping too much into the role of Dougie? And thereby completely forgetting who he really is and in effect dying. (The moment occurs when he is doing Dougie’s day job work by going though the insurance files.Something that is not part of who Cooper was and is). We already know that people are being paid to kill Dougie.It's only a matter of time before Coopers luck runs out and they find him. "Don't Die"

And then it happens....

Dale Cooper's description of Diane : I have been assigned a secretary. Her name is Diane ... She seems an interesting cross between a saint and a cabaret singer.

               How does one describe the emotional importance and impact of the next scene? For 25 years she was but a dream.Someone we knew and even loved as a character, but never met before.Someone we know only through the eyes of Dale Cooper. So it makes perfect sense that she is the one who will SEE him.
             Albert knows Diane and where to find her. I want to imagine they have shared a drink or two over the years and conversation about Coop.Maybe Albert kept her informed of ANY information about Coopers whereabouts.If there were any. But the way in which Diane’s body reacts as if she has been punched in the gut at the sound of Albert saying just her name tells me that she knows instantly something is wrong. Has Albert come to tell her they have found Dale Cooper's body and he is dead? What must she be thinking in that moment?
              I wonder if the DoppelCooper has been able to remain hidden for the past 25 years. No security footage or pictures emerging showing him near the scene of a crime. Or has Diane seen some of the Doppelcooper’s handiwork and this is part of the reason she drowns herself in drink? Her heart broken that someone so good has fallen so low.
             Or was it merely Coopers mysterious disappearance without a word ,without even a hint that he was still alive,that broke Diane? Cooper was a beacon of goodness that if it were to be ripped out of ones life so instantly, it would be shocking and hard to accept.
            
            We first meet this lady in a very apt named bar. The name of the bar is the "Max Von's Bar". Max Von Mayerling is a character in the movie Sunset Boulevard , a servant to the star character, Norma Desmond. The movie contains the famous line "Mr. Demille, I'm ready for my closeup" As we are ready for Diane’s closeup.Finally seeing her up close and IN person.
"Fuck you ,Gene Kelly.Motherfucker."
               Pure Albert. He is doing important work tonight, but will he be able to convince Diane to assist them in their investigation? Will he show her pictures?Will be get to see her reaction? How many more episodes will it take for her to be sitting in front of the Doppelganger? Since each episode spans a day, its unlikely we will see this confrontation in the next episode.
             The casting of Laura Dern as Diane is perfection. Considering her and Kyle MacLachlan’s history together, having starred across each other in David Lynch's Blue Velvet. The two of them sitting across from each other in a new work of David Lynch's is just a wonderful gift.
The next morning ,we are in Twin Peaks.
             Near the sound of sawing wood.Is this the former Packard Sawmill? The awful "kid" that is Richard Horne is sampling a new designer drug brought down from Canada by "Red" and his well armed people. Outside ,Richard's pickup truck sits while inside Reds shiny new sports car sits. For a Horne, he seems to be not as well off as his family name would indicate. Has he had to go without the family money? Or is he perhaps the son of Audrey Horne. Audrey who may have refused any help from her father because of their poor relationship and desire to make it on her own? Has Richard lived down in the town while that grand hotel and wealth say high atop the falls out of reach all his life?
             Who is this Mary Ann that is involved in the distribution of drugs? Richard knows her and is surprised that Red does as well. Richards earlier payment to Chad was most likely to set up this meeting. So Chad,the police officer, is familiar with Red.Red appears to be new to the town by a couple of weeks.And already making eyes at Shelly.Hopefully, she has learned her lesson and doesn’t fall for the bad boy again. I don’t think she will survive this one.Her Daughter Becky is involved in drugs and its likely that Becky's husband may become involved in selling them since he can not seem to get a job.Or he may already be involved in selling them as Shelly’s friends seemed a little to eager to defend him when Shelly spoke of her daughters relationship troubles. But it has been shown that Steven has a little trouble already not controlling his usage.This may be one of the reasons that Becky and he need more money, as he is consuming the profits.This never ends well.
            Red has a problem with his liver. Is he having trouble being human? or is it simply a result of chronic use of drugs that has lead to significant damage to his liver? He has an interesting approach to dealing with someone who fucks him over. "I will saw your head open and eat your brains" Where have we seen that image before? With the spirit in the box and the bodies of Sam and Tracey.Its unlikely that there is a direct connection.Unless Red is a host for a similar type spirit as seen before.
Red performs a little magic.Dime magic for a dime of coke. But are we seeing it through Richard's drugged out eyes or did it really happen? Could this be the Tremond Grandson all grown up?
We are treated to a coin trick , that responds in a similar way that we have seen in the series before. Luck on pause. Red's reaction can be taken two ways.....is the kid doing this? Am I seeing this right?-looks to the kid for a confirmation.Red goes with it.
              A now agitated,angered, and scared Richard is behind the wheel of his truck.This will not end well.This arrogant bastard thinks its unfair that he was made to feel scared and belittled. He thinks he is something special in this piss-ant little town but in a few minutes he has been put in his place. I think something like this has happened to him at lot in his life.In the town of Twin Peaks the name Horne carries a lot of weight and baggage. Has he gone his life being treated with disrespect because of that name?
              He has the last name Horne, but doesn’t seem to be well off as the name would indicate.Richard drives a truck in a world of truck drivers.Whose son is he? Wouldn’t someone like him be driving a fancier car , he is a Horne after all. Or is he the son of a Horne who doesn’t want Daddy's money and has been trying to make it in her own way. Is she the one Miriam knows who really likes Double RR coffee? Is she Audrey?
               During his drive, I notice that we can see telephone or possibly electrical wires reflecting from overhead onto his windshield. Electricity is following Richard, or he it? Even when he is shown later pulling up to a corner of the woods near what appears to be two disabled cars we can see the wires reflected overhead. When he pulls to a stop we see the top of the electrical pole.Which from our perspective seems impossible as he is surrounded by trees but the reflection is not.Continuity error? Or something else?
The NEW Fat Trout Trailer Park
           Carl Rodd has moved closer to Twin Peaks.Carl has a neighbor named Mickey, who has a wife named Linda. Have we now met the Richard and Linda of the Giants warning? Linda is a veteran, the first of two we are to hear about in this show. She is in need of a proper working Wheelchair ( another significant resident of Twin Peaks in a wheelchair). The Government has been unable to assist her properly. Linda=Disabled Military. Frank Truman had son in military. Richard Horne,drug dealing kid.. Does Linda need medication/pain relieving drugs that she cant afford with her government assistance for her situation? Did Truman's son's PTSD and inability to afford good treatment lead to his suicide, or could it have been an overdose? .Richard,and Linda? Dots connecting.....?
 Once again we visit the Double R.
              Heidi is back and  all a giggle as she talks with the Double Rs favorite customer,school teacher Miriam. 
             What stands out to me in this scene is another example of empathy. There is a lot of that in this series despite the terrible on goings. Both Heidi and Shelly remark on Miriam’s tip and how she cant afford doing that but that doesn’t stop Miriam who is appreciative of the joy the pie brings her. It is,after all, where pies go when they die.Miriam is even picking up a cup of coffee for one of the Moms who loves Double R coffee. Shelly and Heidi plan to buy Miriam a slice of pie themselves the next time she visit. But with what happens next. I have a bad feeling that opportunity will not arise.
             
Carl has already gone places.. 

              (apparently he stopped by the Double R and got a nice cup of joe.) Not much to look forward to at his age except the inevitable death which he somehow continues to escape despite his 75 years of smoking daily.A long life achieved by his own admission against the medical odds. Now,all he has is a beautiful morning, a routine trip into town,A nice day in the park, enjoying the breeze through the trees. Watching the joy of others playing.
But what he witnesses next,is one of the worst things a person could see.
                
              This old man, who has no more use for life,and says so just moments before, bears witness to a young boy at play have his future years ended in a violent moment. It's quite the horrific contrast.
This is no longer a town where yellow light means slow down, not speed up
                Does Carl have a Cooper like gift of sight.Seeing that which others do not? Is this sight tied into Carl’s gone places line?What other horrors has he bared witness to over his many years?
He sees what could be taken as the boy's soul ascending.This vision causes Carl to approach the grieving Mother to comfort her.Does Carl somehow relieve her suffering? Taking part of her pain away? The Mother quiets in her crying as he touches her.Is he somehow communicating to the Mother that her child is gone up to the heavens and that in heaven, everything is fine?
                Carl is the only one to approach the woman ,to show empathy, despite a circle of witness. The crowd of folks around the intersection appear in shock and show very little emotion.And oddly, in this day and age, no cell phones recording the horror. No one tried to take a picture of the escaping vehicle or for that matter had their phones out.
                The intersection where this tragedy occurs is also the same location where MIKE confronted Leland and Laura in their car in the movie Fire Walk With Me.We end on a familiar numbered telephone pole. Electricity crackling.The sound similar to Coopers warning from the very first episode is heard once again. Is something from the Lodge manufacturing this darkness? Or did it come to taste the Mother's Garmonbozia? Attracted by the pain and suffering and the collective sadness of the crowd.It moves up the electrical pole as if leaving.Could Carl’s presence have chased it away?
                Miriam is a witness as well. She sees the driver.And he ,her. This does not bode well for the school teacher. If Miriam recognizes Richard by name , she may also know his Mother.What if Audrey is the Mother who likes the Double R coffee and when Miriam returns to school she lets Audrey know what her son or relative just did?How awful it will be if Audrey is closely connected to this monster? Will Richard seek out to hurt Miriam once his coke addled mind becomes aware of just how much trouble he is in?
              Will Miriam ever get that free peace of pie? 
We then return to Las Vegas where a message is received. 
           A Red Box appears on the computer screen of Duncan Todd who works for the dangerous boss.Random thought, is Duncan Todd the mysterious millionaire who sets things in motion but still works for the Bad Dale ?
           It's a wordless message that has a deadly meaning that to anyone else would be meaningless. Untraceable.It clearly directs Duncan to set something predetermined in motion.
           When Duncan gets the envelope out of the drawer, he does so with gloves to avoid any implicating fingerprints.He is clearly disturbed by what the envelope contains and despite attempting to return to work he can not shake the feeling.
           This envelope contains two photos and a business card.One of the photos is of Lorraine, the woman seen communicating with the men trying to blow up Dougie, and also The Box in Argentina.
Lorraine was last seen sending the "Argent 2" message to the box . The Bad Dale was last seen making the call to the same box. Was this to retrieve the message sent? And then once he receives the message, he sends one of his own. He must somehow know that Lorraine has failed in eliminating Dougie so he sends a message to be transmitted to Duncan's computer in the form of a meaningful red box.
           If Lorraine was hired to do the job just a few episodes ago and has already failed, the Bad Dale clearly has little patience for poor performance.
          Lorraine’s murder touches on the subject of empathy once more. With the car accident, we as viewers instantly felt this moment.We barely knew and seen both Mother and child on the screen for less than a few minutes, but the murder evokes a different response than that of Lorraine’s. Lorraine we have seen in action, planning the murder of another person.Her murder is violent, and evokes revulsion, but very little empathy.
           Ike "The Spike" has more feelings for an object than the three people he has murdered in this scene.
           Lorraine’s murder creates a terrible implication for the danger that Dougie is in, Especially if he does not wake up soon he ,and other around him will die. Since the Lucky 7 business card indicates that Ike will seek "Dougie" out at work. I'm picturing several things to happen. One,Phil( Coffee guy) is going to be the first to die. I think even Anthony will meet a nasty end.Another example of Coopers luck removing this trouble while there still being a price to be paid. I am also picturing Dougie's boss taking Ike down in a boxing match. Knocking his ass across the room with one crusher punch.
          Did you see that Ike the Spike has his name on the weapon? He wuvs his widdle pick
         What kind of office space is this?It looks as if it is not a busy place.Rental space?Someones screaming, only one person responds and that person just stands there dumbfounded at what she sees and doesn’t turn tail and run immediately? Even Lorraine seemed to just walk up to the spike without fighting back.
  
         
          What the hell was that on the wall behind Lorraine’s desk? It looked like part of the same style of cardboard boxes we first saw in the room with the Glass Box in New York.But it also looked like it was covering a burnt scorched mark on the wall. Has Phillip Jeffries been jumping through time and walls again? There also appears to be a metal tube poking out.Camera lens? or a similar ,yet smaller,circular hole in the wall like the one at the other end of the glass box? If one were too look up into this tube, would you see stars? While cardboard boxes can have the same designs on them and purchased from different sources,might this be an indication that Lorraine has sent something to New York before or received something from the people involved in the location?
Back to the Double R (Rancho Rosa)
             
          The drugged up mother seems to have a sixth sense for when someone from law enforcement is near. She repeated the lines 1-1-9 when Cooper emerged from the house as Dougie and again when the Police officer was on her roof retrieving the license plate and trunk lid from the roof. Curious, she also repeated the line when the bomb was being placed on "Dougie's" car. Could this mean that the two guys hired to kill "Dougie" are also police officers? Might they be the same two officers whose names are seen on the Lucky 7 fraudulent insurance reports? One of the two was on the phone listening while Lorraine was being murdered as she had not hung up the phone.
           Cooper/Dougie returns to work and once again, the red balloon makes an appearance. In Anthony’s office on the wall is a photo of a red balloon floating in the black and white silhouetted desert.Next to that photo there is also a photo of a pair of dice. (paradise?). In the scene before we saw Ike rolling die and taking notes of the chance odds. Could Anthony and Ike be two peas in a pod?
"Make....sense of it" Cooper quotes.I hope he is trying to do that underneath the fog. "Help Dougie"......ow....just,ow....quit poking the wound Cooper. what connection is Cooper making between the boxing poster and the boss and himself? is he telling himself to Fight? Cooper seems to react by when looking from the boss to the poster and back again.Something clicks.
           And then something clicks for the boss.Cooper with his child like drawings and scribbles manages beyond belief to actually have communicated and discovered something of interest for his boss. Something suspect that requires a bit more investigation but is indeed serious.
"What kind of world are we living in where people can behave like this—treat other people this way, without any compassion or feeling for their suffering?"

          
            Naomi Watt's delivery of this speech was spectacular, and instantly made me want her to be a larger part of this show.Her speech really resonated with events in this episode .Richard's reaction to killing the child is to blame the child without any remorse or recognition of what he has done.He just wipes the car clean and goes about his business.Ike's vicious killing of not just his target but anyone who got in his way. (This does not bode well for Sonny Jim and Janey-E if Ike should come to Dougie’s home) .The way that no one in the vicinity of the accident, other than Carl, came running to the Mothers side, some barely even reacted with emotion (though being in shock at witnessing that is understandable) . Even Reds casual , I will eat your brains comment if he feels cheated as his armed henchmen laugh at the way he treats the "kid" all the while in front of a wall that looks like it has seen its fair share of bullet holes.
           Once again, Janey-E is not taking any BS from anyone.Cooper is lucky to have her on his side. It makes me a little sad to think of what will happen to her if or when Cooper returns to his senses.This is not his beautiful house.This is not his beautiful wife. When these days go by and Cooper emerges he will have to leave Janey-E and Sonny Jim.Return to Twin Peaks. Will he be able to use the Golden ball that was Dougie and a bit of Lodge magic and return him to Janey-E and Sonny Jim? And if that can happen, might Cooper be able to return Laura Palmer as well?"I am dead, yet I live." The series is called The Return. Could it be......?
          For the moment, we want Cooper to "return" . What if it means he will inevitably return to the Lodge and not just Twin Peaks. (Hopefully to, at the very least, release Laura to her Angel)
So it appears that Dougie likes to gamble and borrowed some money.Liked the company of ladies of the evening (or afternoon) but so far doesn’t seem to be involved in anything to heinous.Though ,his name could be seen on a few of the reports on his Boss's desk.Might he be partner to Anthony's crimes? Or was his Boss just reviewing Dougie's work separately on his own?
          The revelation of the suicide of Sheriff Frank Truman and his wife's child is another empathetic moment. It instantly changes how we see Doris who in the beginning came across as shrill and unlikable.But knowing her pain, it changes everything.It also admonishes us for judging Doris before knowing her side of the story.It also makes me like Frank Truman as a character even more that he works so hard to ease his wife’s troubles.
           And of course Chad has to once again be a unsympathetic cad. What kind of person thinks these thoughts? and then verbally expresses them? He's like a internet troll in physical form. The pan to the short haired officer sitting next to Chad, all stoic, made me wonder, did he serve in the military before becoming a police officer? Are we going to see him kick Chads ass at some point? What is HE thinking about in this moment that he doesn’t respond.Chads comments would likely to elicit a response from anyone in ear shot.
Follow your heritage
           Hawk drops a buffalo nickel and follows it as it rolls under the stall. This in turn makes him notice the logo "Nez Perce" manufacturing."(there is a lot of manufacturing happening in this show) on the bottom of the bathroom stall door. The Nez Perce are connected to the RING from the Secret History of Twin Peaks . The ring was given to explorer Meriwether Lewis by Twisted Hair, chief of the Nez Perce, Maybe our connection to the Log Lady’s message.
           The bathroom looks different from the original series where we saw Phillip have an episode and wake as MIKE. Certainly possible the bathroom could have been remodeled over the years(the whole station has seen changes) and that particular stall door remained(though why wouldn’t it be repaired as well?not enough money or care?). MIKE could have snatched the pages up if Leland/BOB had dropped them out by the train car where he took Laura and Ronette. If they are indeed pages from the diary.....I can't wait till he reads them aloud. A close look at the papers does reveal the name "Annie"

         "My name is Annie, and I've been with Laura and Dale. The good Dale is in the Lodge, and he can't leave. WRITE IT IN YOUR DIARY" ! !
          
           Working on the assumption that those were in fact the infamous missing diary pages. : The question is...how did they end up there? Missing pages were supposedly removed by BOB before Laura took the diary to Harold. In fact that was one of the reasons she hid the diary with Harold. Leland presented some pages to Laura in the train car " I always thought you knew it was me " Were those the same pages?
            It seems unlikely that these pages were part of the original evidence collected in the Laura Palmer investigation.The mention of the name Dale would stand out to Cooper when he reviewed the evidence
            
             Leland was seen poking around the Police station.But what purpose would he, under the influence of BOB, have to hide them and not simply destroy them.
Who would have access to them and for what purpose would they feel the need to hide them an not deliver them to the police directly or indirectly in an unmarked envelope?
           
            It seems most likely that MIKE hid them.Perhaps during one of Philip Gerard’s medicated moments.Had he planned to expose Leland as the killer and BOB’s host? Using the pages that would clearly implicate Leland as the one who murdered his daughter? Laura did not have the diary the night before she was murdered when she saw the true face of BOB.So what might she have written that gave up the ghost? I can not wait till we get a closer look at the pages (Hope we don’t have to wait a whole second week)
            But why hide them? Perhaps MIKE was caught in a moment where he had to hide them off his person before he left the police station. Being caught with evidence that is clearly connected to a murder would not have been a good thing for his host to experience.That screams guilty.
            Circumstantial evidence? How could a man like this have in his possession pages from a young murdered girls diary? At best he could get in trouble for tampering with evidence of an ongoing investigation, despite what the pages may or may not reveal.
            Despite all the new mysteries that episode six delivers, there is one ...terrible, awful, horrible day of a mystery that still remains to be solved......
Just what the hell was the title of the book that Chad was bringing with him to the bathroom?!?!?!
