Laura, is the ONE


Episode 10

Richard Horne continues to go off the charts in psychotic behavior.

         WE knew this moment was coming.These two looked into each others eyes and neither liked what they saw.Richard tracks eye witness Miriam to her trailer home.(damn, teachers are not paid for worth shit in Twin Peaks)Shes already contacted the police and told them what she saw.But, unfortunately, she must have spoken to that no account Chad.Who promptly threw the complaint away and most likely informed Richard of the situation.However,diligent Miriam also wrote a letter directly to the sheriff.
          There are shades of Theresa Banks in Richards violence towards Miriam.IS he part BOB?Could this be another indication to the possibility that the Bad Dale violated a comatose Audrey Horne and then she later gave birth to this abomination under the impression that it was John Justice Wheeler who was the father?Or does Richard belong to the absent Donna, who we learned in Season 2 was fathered by Benjamin Horne
          Richard leaves Miriam’s broken and bloody body next to a open stove emitting gas.Lights a candle,closes the door and leaves.The gas may finish her off(shes is still breathing). But will the gas ignite ,since the front door has a hole in it for the gas to escape?Its still a small enclosed space so it could collect enough to go BOOM.
          If her trailer does explode its likely to set fire to that pile of dried up kindling stacked near the trailer and work its way to the nearby forest.Potentially starting a forest fire in Twin Peaks.If this fire were to get out of control it could create trouble for Jerry and Sheriff Truman,Deputy Hawk and Bobby if they are in the woods at the time. My mind pictures them trapped between the fire and the place that’s 243 yards east of Jack Rabbits place.With the only choice but to go through 243.
Miriam’s trailer appears to be located near the same place we saw Deputy Andy speak to the man about his truck.The one who never showed at Sparkwood and 21 to meet Andy. Could it be possible that Andy reported his talking to the man and this information was obtained by or to Chad, who then informed Richard who took matters into his own hand?Seems likely.
          Chad and Richard are not just drug dealing together.But into serious crimes of murder and coverup.Richard and Chad are connected enough that he can ask Chad to dispose of Miriam’s letter. Chad knows about the child’s death from working at the police station.And apparently could care less.Chad the cad just gets more irredeemable each episode.Something seriously stinks in here.Open a window

            Off at the trailer park,Harry Dean Stanton is singing!"Red River Valley" is not on his album, but hopefully will be on the series soundtrack.Manager Carl Rodd still doesn’t like to be disturbed before 9:30-EVER!
            Across the way we see a red coffee cup go through a window.Coffee couldn’t have been that bad? Did someone leave a frog moth in the percolator? Seems Becky and her asshole of a husband are having a domestic. Looks like choosing husbands like Leo Johnson doesn’t fall far from the Shelly tree. Becky's husband Steven seems to be having a withdrawal attack.If its sparkle, it sure does make one violent.And since they don’t have enough money to buy more drugs,his worthless jobless ass blames the one who actually has a job.He's just seconds away from punching her.It's a fucking nightmare.
           Before the scene ends,Hes pissed off about her telling him to clean up around the place (typical married couple problem) and Steven accuses Becky of not being so innocent- I know exactly what you did...? Did she cheat on him?like Shelly did before on Leo) Did she do the last of the drugs?
More dots connecting. The trailer park and Carl to Becky and Steve are now connected to Shelly and Norma and Miriam ?who is now connected to Richard, the Horne’s and who knows who his Mommy might be
          Violence between people is everywhere in this show. Intentional or accidental.Physical or Verbal.

           In the next scene, played for laughs, one of the Vegas girls smacks the casino operator with a remote control in attempt to kill a fly.Clearly the young lady is a several bright colors short of a crayola box. This scene is classic Peaks.You know what the outcome will be the moment she walks into the room.And it just goes on and on until the final blow. It does communicate to us that the two characters are very focused on whats in front of them He's  deep in concentration on the casino surveillance logs in his lap.She is focused on the fly.

FINALLY!
         "Dougie" is taken to a Doctor.The Doctor has discovers that his hearing, lungs, and blood pressure are in tip top shape. Janey-E is getting an eyeful of "Dougies" new body and you can just hear her saying "Helllloooooooooo!!"
          And now the news.....The casino folks are connected to Ike. And THEY even had a hit out on The Spike.I'm guessing Ike had a gambling problem with the dice table.But uh oh....there is Mr Jackpots on the news. We knew this broadcast would connect Dougie to other sources. Now the Casino has his name.Naomi Watts performance in this scene is priceless.
Janey-E is flirting with her husband Dougie, while he is engrossed in his chocolate cake.

 Oh, Dougie. Indeed.
         If Cooper never returns. At least he is in a good place.

The wind howls and so does Dr Jacoby. Another Wooly Bully rant.
        Nadine is tuned into what the Doctor is prescribing. She has her own shop !! Run Silent, Run Drapes.

          And in the window we see ,but do not hear, the drapes open and close in front of her  own Golden Shovel.
          Is she still married to Big Ed?There are no personal photos on her desk. Are we meant to believe that she lives in the back of her store? Or does she just stay late to drink with the Doctor? Have you bought your shovel today?


         Its the next morning and Janey-E is getting her boys off for the day. I wonder if this scene is setting up the Good Dale being forever in this situation. In a mental fog but with a whole new life.A good life for the Good Dale. A wife who loves and sincerely cares for him.A child that he missed out on having over the last 25 years.

         Question...If a Jerry gets lost in the woods , can anyone hear him? Not until he gets a signal on his phone.Hope you have trail mix in your backpack,buddy, as its been something like three days.At least your foot has stop being disagreeable.

        Ugh Chad, stay away from Lucy.You don’t deserve her kindness or her doughnuts. What are you doing up here? Obviously he is trying to get to the mail.Which he does manage to obtain Miriam;s letter.Well ...Miriam Hodges Letter. The name on the envelope doesn’t match the name for Miriam in the credits. Her last name in the credits is Sullivan. 
 


             Did Chad just steal the wrong envelope?. It’s only the day AFTER she posted the letter,could her letter have reached the station in less than a day? Or maybe she mailed it to Harry. A cad like Chad is suspicious to both Lucy and the Mailman, who eye his behavior with concern.

       At Sylvia Horne’s home we find out that Johnny is alive,badly bruised,restrained but alive.Johnny seems lost in the world of his talking teddy bear that repeats the phrase "Hello Johnny.How are you today?" over and over throughout the scene
      Unfortunately, nephew Richard is coming for a visit. He is not a welcome guest even at this secluded community.The man at the front gate informs Sylvia of the impending arrival.
Richard is immediately violent to Sylvia.He strangles his grandmother and threatens to sexually abuse Johnny.This is not the first time he has done this.Richard has however come to take more money than he has ever before,raiding Sylvia’s safe.Richard plans to leave town forever.Apparently Benjamin has cut Richard off as well.
        This would be have been a fantastically dramatic moment for Audrey to walk in on. Even if she isn’t Richards mommy. We've been waiting to see her return and for her to arrive at this violent moment would have been shocking.
         Wonder what would have happened if Johnny had broken free of his restraints.I imagine Johnny would easily take Richard and pound his head into a wall. What a gag that would have been after all this build up of this evil character to have him put down by Johnny.

             In Las Vegas, Duncan learns about Ike and speaks with Anthony from the insurance company.Connect the dots to the casino. The Mitchum brothers. Duncan wants the insurance scams that cost the Mitchum’s 30 mill to have it all pinned on Douglas Jones.Anthony is to go to the casino and explain this is such a way that the Mitchum brothers will take care of the Dougie Jones problem. If it doesn’t work . Anthony will have to kill "Douglas Jones" himself. Duncan is trying to tie up loose ends and get Dougie out of the picture before the next call from the Bad Dale.

YES ALBERT AND the CORONER! SWEET! Just like Gordon and Tammy,  I would watch a whole series of these two together. So sad that Miquel Ferrer  has passed away.This could have been David Lynch and Mark Frost next "On The Air"

             Anthony shows up at the casino later that evening.Hes not trusted or liked.Candie, the fly chaser from before, is like a new person.Shes unfocused and spaced out. Her simple task takes an unnatural amount of time.Every doughnut needs some filler of some kind.And this episode has its share of moments.She claims to be talking about the air conditioning.Anthony communicate the message.But the Mitchum boys don’t take this as expected.But it seems that they will be following though with an attempt to kill "Douglas Jones"

            Back with the FBI, we are treated with DAVID LYNCH creating art!
            A knock at the door and suddenly its Albert and Gordon ...and Laura?..oh, my.

We see an image of Laura Palmer crying.And the distorted sound of Laura's mom calling her name. Gordon appears to be the only one to have this vision and it quickly passes.Perhaps while in the meditative state of creating art, Gordon opened himself to receive a message ,of sorts. I am concerned about the moment in question. The footage appears to be from Fire Walk With Me ,where Laura has gone to Donna in tears.It appears reversed and zoomed in. This scene took place right after Laura was shown hiding in the bushes after she has seen BOB in her bedroom and then her Father walking out the front door of their home.In tears she repeats and desperately tries to convince herself that "No,No,No, it's not him it's not him!" .What could this mean about Albert and Gordon? Is something going to happen to Albert?Or is Albert going to do something to betray Gordons trust? Is it in this moment?


          He has already caused a death by having communicated with Phillip Jeffries in the past behind Gordons back..Will he communicate with Jeffries again?Just how did Albert intercept this communication?Could he have been sent it originally and then forwarded it to Diane?
          Albert has some secret information to share so its hearing aids turned down time..They got wind of the text Diane received AND the one she sent as a reply. It came in after Cooper escaped.Pinged off a tower in Philly.At first they thought it was one of Diane’s many suitors.But Tammy traced it from there to a server in Mexico. We have seem servers associated with the mysterious Phillip.
           She had responded with a heavily encrypted message.

"They have Hastings , hes going to take them to the sight ."

            Intriguing development.So it appears that in the next episode ,the FBI will be shown the place where they can enter.
           Who did she send this text too?Phillip Jeffries or Gerard? Gordon had a feeling about this.Says he picked up on it when she hugged him. Had she never done that before?The hug was awkward for Gordon, he hesitated to put his arms around her.This also gives some explanation for that awkward scene between Diane,Gordon and Tammy outside the Buckhorn Morgue/Police Station.
           Agent Preston enters with a piece of information. A photo from the penthouse murders involving the glass box. On an early data card there was found an image of the Bad Dale talking to bald man with glasses wearing a white,possible lab coat.Beverly's husband is a bald man we have seen before.


            Benjamin receives a phone call at the Great Northern.Does he live here now?Sylvia and Benjamin have separated.Sylvia still wears her wedding ring.As does Benjamin.Have they not divorced officially...till now.Sylvia’s calling a lawyer since Benjamin shows more concern for the money and Johnny than Sylvia. Well, guess its time for dinner with Beverly

               Hawk is having a fireside chat with The Log Lady via phone.The Log Lady looks directly at us the viewer.

 "Electricity is humming. You hear it in the mountains and rivers.You see it dance among the seas and stars and glowing around the moon.But in these days, the glow is dying.What will be in the darkness that remains? The Truman brothers are both true men. They are your brothers. And the others, the good ones who have been with you.Now the circle is almost complete. Watch and listen to the dream of time and space.It all comes out now flowing like a river.That which is and is not. Hawk...
       Laura is the One."

She always was.

          Truman brothers are TRUE MEN. And a TRUE MAN could enter the Lodge. The others? The Bookhouse Boys? Does this mean we will see Big Ed soon? More James?




            The Roadhouse band tonight plays a song sounding like a classic Twin Peaks song. Not surprising , considering the song was written by David Lynch,John Neff and the beautiful singer from Mulholland Drive, Rebekah Del Rio. They could have her sing every night at The Roadhouse and I would be fine with that. A wonderful alternative to the fantastic Julee Cruise

"No Stars"
My dream is to go
To the place
You know the one
Where it all began
On a starry night
On a starry night
Where it all began

[Verse 2]
When we danced with the stars in our eyes
The night when it all began
When it all began

[Chorus]
You said hold me
Hold me, hold me
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
We're with the stars

[Verse 3]
I saw them in your eyes
En tus palabras
Y en tus besos, tus besos
Debajo de una noche
Na llena de estrellas

[Verse 4]
Under the starry night
Long ago
But now it's a dream

[Bridge]
Yo vi, en tus ojos
Yo vi, las estrellas
Pero ya no hay
Ya no hay
Estrellas
Pero ya no hay
Ya no hay
Estrellas
No stars
No stars
Ya no hay estrellas
No stars.

                 Her dress has the pattern of the Red Room floor.She sings a song of going back to the place where it all began. In this series we have seen or heard of many of those places:
    The Bomb.The Meeting place.The Convenience Store.Twin Peaks. Laura.

The song carries a similar sound to Julee Cruise's "The World Spins"

Moving near the edge at night
Dust is dancing in the space
A dog and bird are far away
The sun comes up and down each day
Light and shadow change the walls
Halley's comet's come and gone
The things I touch are made of stone
Falling through this night alone

Love
Don't go away
Come back this way
Come back and stay
Forever and ever

Please stay

Dust is dancing in the space
A dog and bird are far away
The sun comes up and down each day
The river flows out to the sea

Love
Don't go away
Come back this way
Come back and stay
Forever and ever

The world spins.
