[Twin Peaks] Season 3 Episode 7 Recap & Review | The Return Part 7 There's a Body All Right

[@lordjolly2267]

-"Say Please." -"WHAT?!?" -"You heard me......." -"..................Please."

[@ChangShen]

Glad I'm not the only one that enjoyed the sweeping scene. It looks like he's doing it to the beat of the music, almost like a dance. Made me think of Audrey's dance in the diner, and MFAP's dance in the Black Lodge. My theory is that it symbolizes us, as the collective audience, gathering the pieces together, finally seeing the story emerging as a whole. Or maybe it's just Lynch being Lynch.

[@ChangShen]

Lynch being Gary Coleman would be pure Lynch.

[@ChangShen]

Lynch was yrev very not Lynch in the Straight Story. It is possible for an artist to go outside and beyond what they are best-known for. It is narrow-minded to think that Lynch can only be Lynch. Yes, he does "that thing he does" better than anybody else, but that does not limit or define his artistry.

[@AdamFunnell]

I thought the same thing. The many, disparate story-lines are finally converging into one coherent narrative, and the sweeping is a metaphor for this.

[@RockdownPlus]

Lemons & Salt Don't sweat the small stuff.

[@colcasey3853]

The thing with the finger actually comes from what evil coop said when he met Gordon: "It's YREV very good to see you again old friend". Very is reversed and is the second word he says, which corresponds to the finger Gordon says is the spiritual one!

[@PetePeppers1]

Yeah, mentioned that in the other video I think.

[@karinkrog369]

You did Pete :)

[@colcasey3853]

Pete Peppers Oh ok! Not sure I watched it

[@stillnessinaction7092]

Hadn't noticed that, will rewatch the scene!

[@karinkrog369]

There are so many details, hard to keep up sometimes ;)

[@sliamobrien]

After watching this episode I think this whole film/series 3 is about transcendental meditation. Cooper' mind and body is lost in sin, or literally sin city. (Another reference to this is the Horne brother lost in the woods... (he seemed out of it earlier in the series too, much more than his brother)). So we get to watch Cooper dig through these layers in series 3 and eventually "wake up!" to a higher understanding by the finale. Seems to be Lynch's M.O. nowadays. Just my opinion. Plus the stairs and ladder drawings on the real estate documents? Transcending!!!!

[@jamiemurphy5471]

I think Diane was once alot like Cooper. Professional, on the ball, everything by the book. but the events of the night they last saw each other traumatized her. I think thats where they are going with that. I don't think I expected a female Cooper, Im liking all the Diane stuff so far.

[@jamiebraswell5520]

Dianne is NOTHING like I had envisioned her after all of these years, but I really like that a lot. It just shows how unpredictable and fresh Lynch and Frost can be about things we take for granted as knowing. Laura Dern is awesome in the role!

[@mrmrkostas000]

I find it really interesting what you said about Jerry being like Dougie Coop in that scene in the woods, because I also noticed it - and he also says his car is stolen, just like Dougie-Cooper to the detectives at his workplace.

[@78deathface]

I've heard that the actor that plays Jean-Michel Renault has had some serious health/financial difficulties in recent years, I feel like Lynch brought him back partly to help him out. I wonder if the extended sweeping scene had something to do with increasing his screen time and thus his pay for the episode. I may be completely off, but I feel like Lynch is a compassionate person and fiercely loyal to actors and crew that he likes, it wouldn't surprise me if Lynch was just doing him a solid...

[@ChangShen]

78deathface I like that theory.

[@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL]

78deathface I remember a jaded non-fan once deriding Lynch because his friends in Hollywood were mostly "losers" and not industry players. In other words, not all of his friendships are based on his own gain. It's pretty clear in his movies from the 90s onward that he understands what life in LA is like for ordinary people struggling to get by. A side of the city that gets amazingly scant treatment from most big directors.

[@SlowDay1651]

Lynch is such a treasure and sadly a rarity of show business. I think this is completely plausible

[@TheSpf45]

Does everyone remember that Cooper was wearing a silver pin on his suit in the waiting room (the first few hours). He wasn't wearing it when he got there, 25 years ago, and it isn't on him when he takes Dougie's place. But Gordon and Albert both wear similar looking pins. Also, it's probably nothing, but when evil Coop is speaking to the warden, he first says, "Gill McClusky." But a few minutes later, he refers to him as "Joel McClusky." Any thoughts on this descrepency? Also, for everyone missing the real Coop, in one of the teasers realeased prior to the show, there's about a 2 second clip of agent Cooper fully snapped out of Duggie mode driving a car. He's in his suit and everything. Hopefully we see that develop soon!

[@stillnessinaction7092]

I agree about Diane, I expected her to be almost a "spectacled librarian geek"! I can totally agree as well that I think the drinking and "attitude" she has is as a result either of the last meeting with Coop (evil or good) or possibly it's the fact that Coop (to her mind) has disappeared and not been in touch. The fact she is so retro is a surprise but when you see how much Coop loved the town of Twin Peaks and it's retro vibe it kind of does make sense.

[@simianswing250]

Her behaviour fits the librarians I know. God bless them.

[@MrSnickster]

my dog started looking at the TV when Gordon was whistling. That was weird

[@corundummohs9719]

Hey Pete. The piece of flesh the cops pulled off the gun from Ike the Spike's hand looked awfully like the piece of flesh found in Buckhorne South Dakota from the car of William Hastings. Just wondering if anyone else thought the same. You're doing a great job breaking this season down. Keep up the good work.

[@PaulMcElligott]

I think Diane used to be more like a female Cooper, and the last encounter with Evil Cooper changed her.

[@jamiemurphy5471]

I've been really enjoying your recaps man. I look forward to them now every week along with the new Twin Peaks episodes.

[@PetePeppers1]

Thanks for the feedback. I really enjoy making them and thinking about each scene. Getting lots of comments and theories makes it a lot more fun as well.

[@karinkrog369]

Yes, it has become a weekly ritual :) Both the show, and Petes recaps++ Unfortunatly I don`t get the episodes before monday here in Norway, I think US shows it saturdays??. I have no idea why not one of the norwegian channels have bought it, the show was very popular 26 years ago.. As I remember, EVERYONE was talking about it, from kids my age (13), to my teachers, parents etc.. I remember entering a contest "Who killed LP?" and I answered that Leland was schizo.. Fun to think about now :)

[@edwardcampbell179]

agreed! bang up job, man !! I like how you go scene but it doesn't seem like yr overanalyzing everything. keep it up!!!

[@kane2239]

The whistling comes from the beginning of Rammsteins "Engel". I've read somewhere that Lynch likes Rammstein.

[@PimpDragon108]

By and far my fave episode of the season so far! Great recap!

[@reallymadperson]

I'm thinking Jerry was so confused and thought he was high because he was abducted by Lodge Spirits like The Log Lady and Carl Rodd.

[@PetePeppers1]

That's what I was implying. Nothing says that happened for sure, but it seems odd that he is just out there in the middle of the woods. Hopefully more will come to light, or he is just a stoned old man and it doesn't mean anything at all haha.

[@wendyc1902]

trash Yeah, me too. Definitely thought immediately he was abducted

[@wendyc1902]

Pete Peppers And he seems so confused and a little paniky

[@sabreflak2215]

Seemed like he was having some sort of deja bu as he said to ben , you said the same thing.

[@spyderdogg6248]

Was odd that he was almost channeling zombie dougie

[@brandonbingle4716]

That sound was in Ben Hornes office during one of the last episodes of season 2 i think. he turned around real quick and the scene changed.

[@goographix]

Great recap, there are two observations tho, I expected to watch in it: The way spike moves with the gun reminds the statue outside the building, one could say that Dougie Coop was prepared for the assault partly from that (in episode 5 he's watching the statue imitating its stance). Jerry was lighting a joint in episode 5 while he was in the woods watching Dr Amp's broadcast.

[@ChollieD]

I think the time jumps in the RR at the end are just to indicate a normal evening of activity. The staff moves around minute by minute, customers enter and leave, so forth.

[@tocophonic]

Pete - Jerry Horne is quite frequently in the woods outside of Twin Peaks (or maybe even living there): We see him watch Dr. Jacoby's vlog on his iPad out in the woods (Episode 5, 42m40s) which suggests (at least to me) that he's living somewhere out there.

[@andreichereches]

thanks for very good comment ! look forward for next episode ! greetings from Romania !

[@PetePeppers1]

Thanks for the feedback, more to come.

[@davidwasnak]

Pete - regarding people's vision of Diane: in the Agent Cooper Bio I believe he describes her as "a cross between a saint and a cabaret singer." I think that description works here. Her anger seems to be as a result of whatever happened between her and Evil Coop, so I'm guessing Good Coop didn't see that in her way back in the day. Either way, I think Dern is amazing in the role!

[@jeffha4057]

Great breakdown of a great episode! Easily my favorite of Season 3 so far.

[@lindabarnes8005]

Thanks, Pete! Love your blog. I wish you would have been around to do this recap and review 26 years ago when I watched Twin Peaks. Alas, there were no computers, blogs, cell phones or even books like there is now. You would have been the one to listen to.

[@psimplegamer46]

This new season continues to be great as do your reviews. I already want another season though.

[@acrustykrab]

I thought Beverly and Ben were going to start BANGIN. She has the classic sick husband who can't help her so it may be inevitable until she finds someone.

[@luizsa8300]

a crusty krab I thought the same!

[@jbsmith8848]

a crusty krab I think they are setting her up as a vulnerable person. I wonder if her and evil Cooper will meet somewhere along the way

[@karinkrog369]

Pete Peppers Great work, as always :)

[@snoopy1239-b4y]

Great recaps/reviews. Thanks.

[@martinhockings2326]

This episode is my favourite in the new series so far. Plenty of humour and PLENTY of foreboding. God knows where Mr Strawberry fits into all this :)

[@Hoop_Flower]

Diane was so much fun in this episode.

[@DocSardo]

Anyone else hoping that Dale Cooper ends up with Janey E and Sonny Jim after this is all over? I know such a happy ending is not very Lynchian, but we can hope right? After all, the poor guy missed half his life in the Lodge and he deserves a nice family.

[@PaulAdler11]

Thanks for making these videos, man

[@funth]

correct me if i'm wrong but "tammy" is the same "tamara preston" that compiled the dossier for the secret history right? basically the narrator of the book

[@portwain]

What makes you think that Diane was with evil Coop last time? I was thinking that the last time they saw each other was before Dale arrived to Twin Peaks for the very first time. This would be an interesting twist that they had relationships before but broke up and all the notes recorded by Dale were unanswered...

[@PetePeppers1]

I don't know if it was Evil Coop that went to see her. When he said he would always remember it that just made it seem like it was him. Plus the thing about her tell Gordon that they would have a talk, and the fact that she was obviously upset about their last encounter.

[@portwain]

Pete Peppers I watched another video with theory about Evil Coop done some nasty things with Diane and Audrey and this seems more like what's actually happened.

[@ozricman500]

In S01-02, Coop made several references to his relationship with, and fondness for Caroline (Windom Earl'e wife?), a woman he was was assigned to protect, prior to his arrival in TP. I was never under any impression that Coop and Diane had nothing but a mutual, respectful working relationship.

[@kryptych]

Wait, why is the implication that Audrey was impregnated by Evil Coop? Considering that her second-to-last appearance was losing her virginity on John Justice Wheeler's plane before his departure, wouldn't that make more sense that he's the father of her kid?

[@kryptych]

Thank you, that makes more sense.

[@Lastnamestranger]

When Andy and the Truck Guy agreed to meet at 4:30, I thought that it might link to 430 Richard and Linda. There was a Richard connection. The music swelled and then was absorbed by soundscapes as Andy waited.

[@Lastnamestranger]

Just checked your replay and you said this too. Sorry!

[@MaxiM_PL]

Renault is *NOT* saying they were 15yo students - he's saying the exact opposite, that he wouldn't risk it for 15yo straight-A students and they had legit IDs.

[@PetePeppers1]

+Maxim Reality that makes sense, thanks for putting it out there

[@lindabarnes8005]

Do the blinking lights on the plane windows correspond with the notes on a flute? Just like the tune that David Lynch is whistling in his office!

[@PetePeppers1]

They could be. That's one of the theories that are floating around.

[@ChristineKeppler]

Am I the only one that notices the guy who is playing Jean Michele is the guy who actually played Jacque? I know the man who played Jean Michele has passed away, but it's just a big difference to me. Every time I see him I just think Jacque. Did I miss something? Love your scene reviews for the show! Always excited to see each one. 😊

[@tomhatcher8309]

Good detective work on the Bill/Bing thing. I heard Bill!

[@derlanger1939]

What continuity errors were you referring to when you spoke about Laura's diary pages? Also I think Diane was indeed like Dale before but something really bad happened with him (EvilCoop raping her?) which traumatized her and made her quit the FBI.

[@PetePeppers1]

Well, it might not be a continuity error per se, but Laura took the secret diary to Harold's early on in FWWM before she had the dream with Annie in it.

[@ChangShen]

Pete Peppers I thought about this too. It was also before she knew Leland was Bob. Or at least if you assume that the time-line was linear in the movie.

[@PetePeppers1]

It could be explained away in that it was non-linear. Been a while since I watched FWWM all the way through so just remember the basic timeline.

[@moneteee]

Well didn't she keep visiting Harold even after that? Could've been she added the entries later. Also, I still keep thinking it was not Leland the one who hid those pages (I too I'm on the Mike bandwagon, with Evil Coop as a not very convincing outsider).

[@cherryblossom92191]

Annette M. it would definitely be enough

[@batgurrl]

Thanx so much for another great recap! There was as usual, so much going on that my head was spinning. LOL

[@garycottier92]

The scene at the end span me out the way Heidi moved twice in the shots. Is that an error or intended? And why continue with these phone calls between Frank and Harry if Michael Ontkean isn't making a cameo? Or does Harry have a part to play off screen? And I still don't know why Hawk was walking around Glastonbury grove in the first episode, nothing's been said about it since.

[@RyanHicks306]

Also note where the location the man told Andy to meet him. Sparkwood and 21 was the last known location of Laura Palmer.

[@dlower23]

I enjoyed the meta mirroring of the "where's Bill/thing?" diner scene. After some spectacle (like practically this whole episode) people in the diner/viewer consumers just go back to consuming: "Well that just happened" resume quotidian existence. I think it may be significant that another instrumental plays in the sweeping scene, both scenes are deceptively/conspicuously anticlimatic. I think that Lynch is perhaps commenting on viewer passivity/complacency and expectations. Just an observation.

[@PetePeppers1]

If you listen to the closing song there is another song from Season 2 playing a little lower over top of it. So that might relate to what your talking about. You can hear a faint ominous song from Angelo Badalamenti p

[@dlower23]

Hi Pete. Thanks...sound and music are very important vehicles for meaning in Lynch...so I think you are on to something. I totally missed the electricity in the latest "coalman" sighting. could he be Andrew Packard burnt to a crisp?

[@patrickcoulombe5317]

Said this after top moments. Didn't know if you saw it Pete. The sound in the office with Beverly is reminiscent of the sound that is in the lodge when MFAP rubs his hands together, either in FWWM or season 2 finale. I may check later myself to verify. When he's rubbing them together, a shadow passes through the curtain. I also agree with LT. KNOX not seeing the ash figure. I don't think she would've scurried off so quickly. You don't become a lieutenant by running from danger, and the figure CLEARLY was out of place. She felt something, sensed it, much like Briggs 'hardware'. I think she is involved in BlueBook, or something similar, from an investigative standpoint, much like Briggs was.

[@NightSparrow107]

has anyone addressed the issue about how Annie Blackburn isn't even mentioned in the secret history of twins peaks? Frost came out saying that Lana won the pageant. Now Annie got mentioned in the show...Something is up and I feel like the documents in the secret history are doctored and are the biggest clues to what is going on here. Especially since there's another book coming out in October.

[@cp287979]

You should post these as podcasts as well. Good work!

[@spyderdogg6248]

Evil Cooper is after the dark black figure that was most recently seen in the hallway. When the figure first appears it's blurry & the head looks exactly like the image on the card that evil Cooper has , even down to the horns. It becomes less so as it walks toward the woman on the phone. Didn't Cooper buy a house or look at a house named "Dead Dog" or something like that ? Even had some mystical story about dead dogs and good & evil people.

[@EricWBurton]

Great video Pete! Two things I would like to point out that I didn't see mentioned: 1. When Dougie squeezes Ike's hand off the gun, the camera shows (for a short moment) the grip of the gun is clean and without that fleshy bit you see after. Maybe it's a production error, maybe not. 2. During the night shot over the woods, right before the end scene in the diner, you can hear the scratching sounds that the giant told Cooper to listen to in the beginning of episode 1. Any thoughts are sure to be just speculation, but that's why I'm here. What do you think about these things?

[@chilliLRK]

I can't stop watching your videos on twin peaks lol

[@d.h.774]

Do you think the oil covered guy is connected to the hobo from mulholland drive? I've heard theories that all of Lynch's films are connected

[@FlamingoKicker]

What would people think if Audrey turned out to have lost her arms and legs in the explosion at the bank so she's now a quadraplegic all these years like in that movie Sherilyn Fenn made called "Boxing Helena"? Yeah, I know ... not gonna happen but it just popped into my twisted imagination.

[@ross1972]

Best episode yet!

[@Rebelphoenix]

That 4th page has to be really important, perhaps it's going to be the big reveal that Laura isn't dead but it's her doppelganger that was killed by Lelandbob?

[@peacemontana56]

Hey Pete, I don't quite get the fingerprints stuff. Now, they took prints of the fingers of evil Coop when he's gotten in to the Slammer, right, but what exactly is vice versa hire.

[@PetePeppers1]

Still trying to figure it out myself. The one is reversed, as Albert said by some cro-magnon at the prison. Gordon shows Tammy that the spiritual finger is the one that Albert is talking about. So the implication could be that it is a reversed print on Evil Coop that had to be switched to make it match. Or the whole thing is faked for that finger, or something like that. Either way it goes along with him saying yrev very which was the initial clue that gave him away to Albert and Gordon.

[@ashfordwyrd7458]

It also ties into the greeting that DopleCoop gave Gordon with the backward 'verry'.

[@jgm22]

Aren't they reversed because everything that comes from BL is reversed?

[@plentas]

I presume that 'spiritual' finger is matching only if reversed. that seems legit, thinking that Evil Cooper is probably mirror copy of Good Cooper on the spiritual level.

[@jgm22]

That's what I'm thinking. And apparently things age differently in the lodge too so Major Briggs' body must have been there - but why was it released now? Did Coop bring it with him to help solve his murder?

[@christopherorlando206]

Andy's been in the TP sheriff's dept for over 25 years; I'm sure they gave him a watch for serving that long.

[@moneteee]

Seriously there have been people complaining about the sweeping scene? Seriously if one doesn't dig that scene shouldn't be watching anything Lynch has done.

[@nilsgloistein5706]

What do you think of the fact that Andy has got a fucking Rolex? I personally suspect theres more to him than it seems. Maybe he's in with Chad on this drug-stuff?

[@jbsmith8848]

Nils Gloistein I was leaning towards that explanation, it would explain why he gave that guy extra time.

[@NeilMcGuiness]

One main question: The noise that accompanies the black figure in the morgue: is it not the same (or very similar) nose that accompanies the man behind the Winkies in Mulholland Dr.? Perhaps we'll see some cross over of these universes?

[@danieldelahormaza4336]

Here you are strongly suggesting that it was EvilCoop with whom Diane met before. Although there is a big chance that it is true, saying "there is a definite implication that something happened btw her and EvilCoop" is misleading. In fact, my impression is that this was the first time that Diane saw EvilCoop. If she was capable of recognizing Cooper, why didn't she recognize him that night? There might be explanations for this question but it is still open anyway.

[@benjaminbrunson4805]

Why have all of the other episodes ended with a live band gigging at the Roadhouse, but this one ends at the diner? I missed my live Roadhouse band.

[@ChangShen]

Benjamin Brunson Agreed. Those performances have been all amazing, and one of the parts of the show that I most look forward to every week.

[@moneteee]

It's not the first time the episode ends without a musical performance at the roadhouse

[@TimScalita]

The warden ting sounds a lot like a hit and run situation.

[@benjaminbrunson4805]

Has anyone else noticed the visual similarities between the dark-soot evaporating stranger (possibly the man walking down the morgue hallway) and Jerry Horne?

[@batgurrl]

With all that smoking that Diane was doing I was reminded of LD in Wild at Heart- Lula was smoking most of the time. I wonder if we will ever find out what happened with her and Coop......

[@mattmccarthy1984]

I think jerry was seeing an entrance to the black lodge maybe even the white lodge but who the hell knows

[@fedt3526]

Do you think Mr. C was expecting Diane to come in and talk to him? It seems that he only started off his escape plan right after finishing talking with her. Although I don't think he expected to get imprisoned in the first place. Or perhaps he did as the dog's leg was in his car trunk when he was driving through the desert (I'm still not sure towards what, whether the prison or Las Vegas).

[@ezeqkkk]

Jerry scene theory: Jerry's "you say the same thing" when Ben repeats "someone stole your car?" is/could be a reference to Dougie way of talk. He might be looking for the Black Lodge, would ve a reference to the log lady saying "something is missing" to Hawk, the lodge, say Hawk in season 2, has something to do whit his heritage. Notice that Jerry and log lady listen the radio show of Dr. Jacoby, who lives in the woods, very/irev similar to the trees were Jerry is looking for something. About Ben Horne and Beverly in the hotel office, could be that they where looking for something "missing", the totem or whatever it is looks like something to do with Hawk's Indian? heritage, I think

[@PetePeppers1]

Interesting stuff, but it was Nadine and Jerry that were listening to Jacoby's show. The only Log Lady stuff was her conversations with Hawk. I believe the Hawk heritage reference from her played out in the bathroom where he found the missing pages of the diary.

[@ezeqkkk]

Pete Peppers true, it was Nadine, I was high... sorry

[@Sithnester]

Do the other cops have computers on their desks? Maybe Sheriff is hiding computer from Lucy seeing how she reacts on cell phones. But I do remember a huge command center at the dispatch so I could be mistaken. What was the deal with the fingers that Gordon says? Is it some kind of common knowledge thing or was it invented for the scene? Thing about Diane that seems off for me - she saw Cooper after he became EvilCoop. Did she see him before the fact? If she didn't then how can she know something is missing? Or is actually EvilCoop has something missing? Yes Cooper sent her all the tapes he recorded (or did he?). But when I was watching first 2 seasons I had an impression that they might have never met at all. Was that the EvilArm or the real Arm? Ike the Spike being a dwarf could also be a creation of EvilArm. Also the location of the flesh on the gun is wrong - the most part of Ike's hand was on the other side of the gun, so what did he squeezes off exactly? His thumb into a pulp? I thought it was garmonbozia on the gun first.

[@susieyoung5648]

love your videos, I'm just wondering if the glass box is part of evil coops grand plan to divert good coop to travel to Dougie Jones in Rancho rosa

[@tprimeau1]

Hey Pete. I'm catching up on your videos now and now that I've seen the whole series or movie, a lot of what you talk about really makes more sense for example the different timestamp could've said David Ana Marks way of showing different visuals into the different dimensions. I'm starting to see where a lot of these popped up throughout 18 hour movie.

[@Chelypal]

I think that Mr Strawberry is the name of the warden's dog that probably went missing. Evil Coop must have used it to get the warden's attention to be able to blackmail him with more damaging information that evil Coop knows about the warden

[@andrewkelly6828]

How did you come to the conclusion that Dianne and Cooper's last meeting at her house was with the evil Cooper? I assumed it was with regular Cooper before he left for Twin Peaks. Also, what did you make of the diary page with the capital letters indicating that "IT WASN'T BOB..." ? That seemed significant to me.

[@ThomasG1]

What if the man in black from the jail cell (and later the hospital) is Jerry Horne traveling through time because of newfound drug/forest/lodge powers?

[@AlxndrJG]

i assumed that the dog leg thing, was a way to tell that there where 3 other guys with a dog leg each. And if something happened to Evil Coop, one of the other guys would come up with this strawberry information. :)

[@AlxndrJG]

Blackmailing the good old fashion way :p - love these recap&review vids! perfect way to sum up the episodes :) *liked*

[@chloeprusiewicz5566]

Final countdown to.... Lucky 7 insurance Electric poll 6 (at the scene of the kids runover murder) 5 ???? 4 torn pages from the diary 3 cops/3 gang fatalities/3 dog legs 2 straight-A whores Leaving at 1 am

[@PetePeppers1]

There is a number 5 showing in the scene when Cooper passes through the glass box in NYC.

[@RyanHicks306]

Why does Andy have a Rolex? David Lynch has been very clear on his views on product placements, yet there are SO MANY obvious product placements so far. I guess that is the price to pay for increasing the budget.

[@Dylanquinn666]

I was getting frustrated at how slow the Dougie story was going, but I realized it's necessary for the other stories to work. If Coop suddenly woke up and was back to himself, that would bring the Evil Coop storyline with Diane and the FBI to an immediate end. Coop needs to be out of the picture while that stuff is going on and this is how they're handling it. It's either this or have the two Coops standing next to each other saying "I'm the real Cooper! NO I'm the real Cooper!" in unison... and nobody wants that.

[@PetePeppers1]

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

[@jeffmoeller6492]

I believe Richard and yet-to-be-seen Linda are Bob's children through Evil Cooper, who impregnated Audrey and Diane. Also, the good Cooper will have three battles left with Evil Cooper, Richard, and Linda, this would be from the boxing poster stating four rounds being a clue. He already had one with the would-be assassin.

[@gumlao7528]

I think Andy letting that guy off was to show Andy's policemanship hasn't necessarily improved very much over the years. I laugh out loud every time.

[@kane2239]

Does anyone else thinks that "Colonel Davis" is an homage to Don S. Davis? :)

[@reverendkate]

Shelly seemed to noticed the difference in the scene. I can't be the only one who caught that...

[@Blackstar-cf7gm]

Gordon is whistling ANGEL by Rammstein.

[@dylanbobberson8350]

I think the wood and stuff in Ben's office could be related to Audrey and her secret spot

[@kerryrobinson9375]

Hi, Pete. I love your videos. One thing I found strange was when EvilCooper was being let out of prison, there was a whole lot of weird green light showing in the jail cell. Didn't know if you caught that too, or if you had any thoughts about it.

[@PetePeppers1]

Didn't notice it so I will have to go back and look

[@LemonyFresh]

I took it that Diane hasn't seen Cooper since ~1990, or before the original run takes place and they were in some sort of close relationship (romantic or not) that she could never see him like this.

[@ozricman500]

In S01-02, Coop made several references to his relationship with, and fondness for Caroline (Windom Earl'e wife?), a woman he was was assigned to protect, prior to his arrival in TP. I was never under any impression that Coop and Diane had nothing but a mutual, respectful working relationship.

[@evanlloydfitz]

There's something red in the lower left corner of Jerry lost in the trees

[@nigh_anxiety]

"Mr. Strawberry" was the dog. It's implied it was the warden's dog, who had probably gone missing (don't recall if the warden ever mentioned something about a missing dog earlier or not). There's another name he mentions that I don't recall now (Ken Murkowski? or something like that.) What I took from it was that the warden had Ken killed or was responsible for his death, and EvilCoop has some evidence to this effect which he sent out with the dog legs as messages to other people. However, I only watched the scene once so maybe I misunderstood it too. I'm also going to make a bet that the next 5 hours will each end at the Double R Diner. And then for hours 13-18 we'll have some other location.

I think it was Joe or Joel McClusky. I thought the dog's name might have been Strawberry but it is all somewhat confusing.

[@ashfordwyrd7458]

I don't think Mr Strawberry is the dog. I think that's a code name for someone who was either a witness or accomplice in a crime committed by the warden. The dog was only being used as a prop to get the information from place to place.

OMG does no one remember that the final missing diary page was the one in the train the night of Laura's murder?

[@johnsperry9494]

I'm pretty sure Mr. Strawberry was the warden's dog.

I really like your program, great job! Hoping to hear from you soon with the 10 things you might have missed, I usually miss all of them :D I wanted to add a few thoughts on the Bad Coop/Diane encounter. The way she says "Look at me" for me it is like she is trying to wake the old Coop back, make him realize how she is changed (I guess she is not proud of herself), which would mean that she was hoping to see old Coop... so I think when they meet last time it was the Good Coop that was at her apartment. Maybe she needed help, but good Coop vanished and could not help her anymore. She also says "Fuck you FBI" a lot so I guess that FBI did not help neither when the good Coop failed her. Hope this make some sense! Also, wouldn't Bad Coop go to the intensive care to get the green ring from Annie (or the nurse that had stolen it)? Maybe he needed it to manufacture Dougie? I feel that Bad Coop somehow tamed BOB appetites, he is not dancing nor is he merry like Leland? I don't think we see him attack women a lot..?

[@PetePeppers1]

Think 10 things you might have missed will be out on Saturday this week.

[@ykcaks]

My guess is that Mr. Strawberry was Warden Murphy's dog.

[@RyanHicks306]

I wonder the significance of the monster in the glass box that killed those two people in the first episode? What the hell does that have to do with anything? I have a feeling that Jerry in the woods might be it's next victim. I suspect Jerry is by the entrance to the Black Lodge.

[@PetePeppers1]

I made a video about the box with some theories at the time. you can find it here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJKqp3Ztja-ZnZY

[@chilliLRK]

I agree with the diane thing. I thought she was like coppers love since they were so much a like.

[@bonesjackson2]

Look for the red balloons....

[@luizsa8300]

bonesjackson2 There's one at the 14:47 mark on the top right side .

[@ameleri]

Isn't that "mission impossible" (original TV serie) that Gordon if whistling off?

[@rapaciousinterloper4725]

It is definitely Engel by Rammstein.

[@LarsyD]

I was just thinking - if Leland wanted to ditch the diary pages because he though the police would find them on his person during his interrogation, why not just flush them down the toilet? Why put them in the stall door? Just a thought...

[@PetePeppers1]

He may not have been able to bring himself to destroy them. Of course I don't really know, but would have kinda killed this whole reveal if he flushed them 😁

[@LarsyD]

HAHAHA true, that's exactly what my husband said when I mentioned that. We watch your episodes every week btw, they're great! Helps us get through the anticipation between episodes! :-D

1. Why do you always say Janey-E-E? It seems like there should only be one E based on the credits and the ring. 2. Why is she stressed about the money? Dougie-Coop came home with $425,000, did she need to pay other debts? She mutters to Dougie about how they could have bought a new car if he didn't have to pay $25k but isn't there plenty money leftover? And why not pay the full $50k to the gangsters to ensure Dougie's safety?

[@cherryblossom92191]

BobbySoFamous she says that the rest of the money is for their future. She probably wants to pay off their mortgage, put funds towards their son's education and keep some aside for retirement. $420,000 sounds a lot but it's easily spent.

[@q2f3]

hey..is mr strawberry the arm?

[@ToreyTalks]

Pete do you think Mr Strawberry could somehow be related to Garland Briggs?? I don't know why but I thought about this...red hair, Mr Strawberry..??
