[Twin Peaks] Season 3 Episode 11 | Top Moments Reaction & Recap There's Fire Where You Are Going

[@Kodaemon]

"Quick, to the Carlmobile!"

[@rainadanielle874]

So pleasantly surprised at how much screen time Gordon and Albert are getting

[@rini6]

Love both of them. Miguel Ferrer was so witty. I have a feeling he did ad lib. Gordon Cole is adorable.

[@shtan5583]

A "conversation" with Mitchum brothers in a restaurant was lively for sure..

[@tarynedisse]

This episode was AMAZING

[@PetePeppers1]

I am with you on that.

[@Emma-pk6co]

Especially the last 15 minutes when Dougie Coop met the Mitchum brothers were pure magic

[@josepedroz.2334]

YES!! the scene with the piano player, is so powerful, the way the old lady came and talked to Dougie, it really made me cry. Kyle is making such a great job. And Candie also, what a great character, this episode is the best thing that ever happened

[@angelaraber]

Emma X It was a very entertaining way to end such an intense episode. I laughed out loud and wept a little too. It was like a release.

[@tarynedisse]

José Pedro Klafke Zaduchliver I cried as well, also: você é brasileiro? Hahah

[@batesfan]

Steven is hiding with Gersten Hayward! Donna's sister....the one who plays the piano for Leland at the dinner party at the Haywards' in the original series!

[@PiMpiNx187]

That scene is haunting!

[@thechapelperilous]

Steven can be the new Shaggy. He's such an insufferable douche.

[@rafazule14]

didnt notice until i saw the credits. interesting way to bring her back

[@gilbertgotfried]

Gersten gets introduced in the series the episode ends with a piano solo. Gersten gets reintroduced in the Return, and the episode ends with a piano solo.

[@batesfan]

NICE catch, @joethetimelord!

[@mulhollanddrivecb]

I agree with another commenter who wrote that Phillip Gerard signaled to Dougie to come to the coffee shop to get the cherry pie that would save his life. The one-armed man is the real Cooper's protector. Also, I've noticed how important children are in this new season of Twin Peaks: the hit-and-run-boy, Sonny Jim, the boy whose mother is the drug addict, the boys who find Miriam, the boy who shot the gun, the sick girl in the car. If I"m remembering correctly, children were almost invisible in the original series.

[@1whyvonne]

Lynch and Frost have kids (or more kids, in Lynch's case) now.

[@moneteee]

I'm fairly sure at least Lynch had children already when the original show aired, they're all adults now. One of them was already a grown woman back in the days and she wrote the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer in the break between season 1 & 2. Another one played Pierre Tremond in the show.

[@moneteee]

By the way, it seems pretty obvious that Mike orchestrated everything and he was definitely behind Jim Belushi's dream, remember how he and other Lodge spirits are able to appear/talk to people in dreams or even making them dream specific things.

[@CoolGrayStudios]

Yes on the importance of children! I'm surprised I haven't seen that discussed much, as it has impressed me every episode. That boy in the van with the gun was scarier to me than the exorcist girl in the car. That dude exuded evil! Definitely not what he seems!

[@wewereborn2die]

jh60657 That was exactly what Dr Jacoby said in his last speech (episode 10) "save the children"

[@mikezazworsky]

Things: 1.) Gersten Hayward in the stairwell w/ Steven. Of all the crazy ways to bring back a random character we haven't seen since early in Season 2...something tells me there's going to be more with her in the last few episodes. 2.) Everything about the sequence after the shots were fired was bizarre. The kid who shot the gun, his dad, the honking woman, the zombie girl in the front seat. There damn well better be a resolution/follow-up, otherwise that scene will probably go down as the biggest WTF moment in Twin Peaks history. For me at least. 3.) Dana Ashbrook has been the breakout star of The Return. We all kinda knew Kyle McLachlan was a great, versatile actor, so seeing his EvilCoop/Dougie stuff has been mind-blowing, but in a way that we might've expected...but seeing Bobby have an arc w/ this much range is pretty incredible, and one I never saw coming (not that he wasn't good in the original series, but this time around he's WAY better than "good"...he's downright great). 4.) Albert smudged the last 4 numbers purposely, and showed the coordinates to Gordon to test Diane, right? That's what it seemed like to me at least. 5.) Candie seems "manufactured". 6.) The final song that grabbed DougieCoop's attention in the restaurant was another Angelo Badalamenti composition called, "Heartbreaking". Considering he writes his songs for TP based on moods that David Lynch describes to him, I wonder what specifically is causing DougieCoop's heart to be breaking?? My best guess is it's more of Coop coming through, waking up, and feeling the heartbreak because, A.) he's realizing how much of his life he's missed out on, B.) he's realizing that Dougie's life isn't his own, & he's got feelings for Janey-E & Sonny Jim, C.) he's in tune w/ his enhanced sensory perception, acquired from spending 25 years in the lodge, & he knows something very bad is about to happen, or, D.) the WHOLE experience of Vegas/Dougie/Janey/Sonny Jim/Jade/Rancho Rosa/Silver Mustang/Mitchum Bros./etc. is all a dream/vision, and he's about to wake up from that, only to realize he's still in the Lodge. I have no idea what to think/anticipate/believe about the Dougie story at this point. But I've gone from having very lukewarm feelings about it (early on) to TOTALLY, thoroughly enjoying it more recently. 7.) Sorry that was so long, I was just rambling.

[@moneteee]

re: 4) It also seemed to me that Albert telling Gordon he should have milk instead of coffee could be some of their coded words.

[@78deathface]

Mike Zazworsky I agree that Agent Cooper never left the lodge. There have been so many clues that support this going all the way back to parts 2 and 3, as Gordon says "the policeman's dream"... The "sick girl" is seriously one of the creepiest things I've ever seen on TV, it really stuck with me. Did you notice how Red just showed up out of nowhere from in the middle of the street, chaos immediately ensued (including the scary-ass zombie girl) and Shelley almost seemed under his spell... he has that otherworldly evil vibe. I'm not sure what's going on with Diane, but it seems like it's nothing good. Who knows? Things are rarely how the seem in this show. Albert could be corrupt for all we know...

[@78deathface]

moneteee so much of what Albert and Gordon say seems like coded language, also a lot of Gordon's gestures could be code like with Lil (the dancing girl from FWWM).

[@anitaroth364]

I didn't realize Donna's sister was in the stairwell.... I thought the music Dougie was mesmerized by was he & Annie's song by Angelo, but not sure. That would have made him sad if he hasn't seen her for 25 years... They don't have many episodes to fit all the puzzle pieces together! Also why can some people see the "Woodsmen", & some not? I can't wait to see what's up with Diane. Also Major Briggs said he saw Bobby happy & fulfilled... Which he isn't now.

[@anitaroth364]

Mike Zazworsky I like to hear/see you rambling!

[@clementeen]

In season 2 everyone's left arm was trembling and it was because Bob was entering twin peaks, i forget the explanation but it was significant and now we see Gordon's hand trembling

[@moneteee]

You didn't forget anything, unfortunately there was no explanation for that, it happened in the last (maybe last 2) episode(s), it was probably one of the thing that they should have explained in the third season that never happened (at least back then).

[@clementeen]

moneteee I think someone on youtube explained it but i can't remember the link/couldn't find it again. It had something to do with Bob's right arm coming into view in the woods, there was a spotlight on it if you can remember the episode in season 2. but this could perhaps mean that Bob is near, after all we did see the woodsmen take him from Mr.C's body

[@moneteee]

Yeah there have been quite a few vague explanations, but those are only speculations, they didn't give us enough evidence to come out with an educated guess. It's obviously something related to the Lodge opening, but that's all we can say for sure (at least for the original show).

[@alexandrashurun3652]

Nadine Chamas but we see his right hand tremblung..

[@tarentalefilms6351]

Nadine Chamas to me all the people who were affected by the shaking left arm seemed to know what it meant. As in it wasn't completely new to them. They have a sense knowing what's to come. Just my take on it.

[@nondescriptbeing5944]

Cooper is so close. I can feel it

[@valentinionita4449]

the end of the show is closer.

[@MrRagnarxx]

Coop just said "Damn good." and next episode is called LET'S ROCK. If that's not the cue for Coop waking up I don't know what is

[@Talalay99]

When Dougie was told to 'knock them dead' by Mullins he responded by repeating 'dead' whilst squeezing his own cheeks in the same bizarre manner Evil Coop used to kill Jack

[@chrisbee8009]

The theme of TRANSPORT drips from every single frame of Part 11. Cars, vans, portals. Almost all key moments involve cars. Even small moments are car related. Best episode yet.

[@alfredokaramazov]

I've been waiting all day for this! great video as always. Greetings from Argentina.

[@PetePeppers1]

Sorry for the delay, but glad you hung in there.

[@wendyc1902]

kakonamop SAME! Well...not from Argentina but same feeling 🤣

[@grandmantis]

Is Philip Jeffries over there with you...?

[@victoreloyvillarraza]

Hey amigo, me alegra ver compatriotas que son fans del TP como yo. Que genio Lynch!!! Ojalá tuvieramos un artista de esa profundidad en nuestro medio actualmente. Casi me caigo de reirme cuando Candie se la ve en la cámara de seguridad y en vez de traerlo y ya, se toma como media hora hablando cualquier cosa

[@mjsaustin5044]

Lady and the sick girl are trying to get home. They are late for dinner. It's her uncle that is joining them at dinner, not her aunt. They have miles to go. I wonder if they're headed to the dinner with the lively conversation? Hmm?

[@jerry5867]

Love the channel! The one arm man calls Dougiecoop to the place where he gets the pie.

[@kimmolaine8069]

Top moment: Everything with Candie.

[@SexyButCurious]

Yes! The way she just in a daze had me laughing

[@Mintymischie]

I DIED when Cooper was being lead in by coffee!! So great! I got the feeling with the woodsmen, it was like they all forgot about them as soon as they stopped seeing them. Then they all slowly remembered as they talked about it

[@masterhuhwhat]

every week i am blown away as to how good the return is. i was nervous heading into the premier cause i am steeped in twin peaks lore going back to being 12 and terrified by the show and slowly understanding what it was and is. and i still have 3 old school books from the original. laura palmers diary and the tapes of dale cooper. and the welcome to twin peaks book. this show has been a huge influence in my life

[@josepedroz.2334]

Great video, as always!!! For me, the scene with the woodsman, it was clear that Diane knew really what they were messing with, she also said that for that kind of thing there was no use of support from the police

[@Ductos]

One big moment at the end: Rodney Mitchum calling the pie "Damn good" and Dougie repeating the line, though not in his Dougie voice but the one the real Agent Cooper uses.

[@PetePeppers1]

Yeah, he did look a little more focused than his usual self.

[@rampface85]

There's a zoomed picture of the Woodsman that Gordon sees and the wall pattern is the same from a scene in FWWM

[@resetsentertainment2234]

Awesome review and recap! I agree this episode was excellent and one of the best so far right up there with episodes 3 and 8. Compelling all the way through! Loved the scene with Gordon Albert and Diane, we are getting somewhere! The Woodsmen return! Excellent! And as creepy as they are and that scene was, the puking girl and crazy woman honking might have been even more disturbing! I know feel that everything that follows is going to be excellent and all questions and mysteries will be clarified in a big payoff! It's all coming together so well! Brilliant! And yes the scenes with Cooper and the Mitchum brothers were heartwarming! Who would have thought they would become his allies! Perfect episode! Counting the minutes until next week, and with a title like "Let's Rock", you know your in for a ride.

[@stephendackson2178]

Every title is a line of dialogue. So we know someone says "Let's Rock" in the next episode.

[@JackRipper8881]

The Mitchum brothers don't seem to be the gangsters we were led to believe, even Bushnell tends to agree. :-)

[@resetsentertainment2234]

Stephen Dackson exactly! And who said "Let's Rock" before? So I just know it's going to be great. Maybe even may mention Chester Desmond. Hell maybe Sherilyn Fenn, David Bowie, and Michael Anderson will be on it all in one episode! Probably too much too hope for, but anything is possible... Let's Rock!

[@Rebelphoenix]

I thought the pie was going to do it, I really did :(

[@PetePeppers1]

They played that up to the max. Guess we don't what's going on with him since he was still at the table at the end.

[@pinealdreams1064]

It did, for a few seconds. Watch how he says 'Damn good'. That's not Dougie, that's Coop. For those few seconds, he came back. He's close...soooo close.

[@pallaf100]

He will surely wake up. Remember Mike telling him: "Wake up, wake up...". It will happen.

[@JackRipper8881]

Watching the episode I inadvertently kept saying over and over in my head "Come back, come on, come back" as we seemed to be so close to having old Cooper back again. Damn Lynch!

[@RevolverLancelot]

Phil is one of my favorite characters in the new season. He is absolutely precious. A kind soul.

[@amwoods86]

Carl pulls out Willy Wonka's flute and BAM, there's a van!

[@PetePeppers1]

It's up there with Gordon's "He's dead" comment as my personal favorites.

[@beyondz55]

2 actors I never cared about before: Jim Belushi and Matt Lillard, have been fantastic in TP.

[@PetePeppers1]

It's true. Was just talking about how great Jim Belushi has been in this season.

[@masterhuhwhat]

and Pete i love your recaps. probably the best twin peaks youtube vids

[@TheChriskilla100]

Best part for me was when Dougie said Right now when they say for candy to get him more pie. His face was genuine like Cooper would look like.

[@michaeljamesmoore]

Scene outside of RR is the funniest thing I have seen on TV all year. Somebody needs to make a soundboard of that lady honking the horn.

[@AR2D76]

The opening scene actually happened to David Lynch when he was a child. Bloodied woman crossed the street asking for help when he was about seven. He stated the image had always stayed with him.

[@TheKastorian]

Great video, show is a freaking masterpiece.

[@awake1251]

I'm really, really ready for Cooper to regain his memory...

[@lmiddleman]

You can see a camera drone fly into the shot when the kids find Miriam, just before the main kid tells the other to go get their mother.

[@cinemar]

I'm getting the distinct feeling Coop is never going to wake up or if he does it will be in the very last episode.

[@michelewitt2285]

cinemar I predict the very end .. maybe the last 2 episodes

[@sephirothstein2943]

cinemar i love dougie coop tho so I don't mind. Kyle is so good I don't even really think about it anymore

[@daysleepnightread6905]

he has to get his gold back

[@danielgray2909]

Exactly... DougieCoop is a G.

[@PetePeppers1]

There is an interesting theory out there that he is going to wake up on the first when Frank, Bobby, and Hawk are supposed to go to Jack Rabbit's palace. It's a bit out there but makes sense at the same time. Might do a video about it this week if there's time.

[@averyfaeth8014]

Candie is wearing her feather hairclip on the right side of her hair, while both Mandie and Sandie have it on their left. Otherwise the girls seem to be purposefully identical, so I have to assume the difference is intentional.

[@lineschneider]

just a silly thing that popped into my mind is that the teaser featuring gordon cole eating a donut is from this episode :D

[@JackRipper8881]

When I saw the teaser I thought it was just a 'Behind the scenes' shot of Lynch having a break from shooting the series, until I saw this episode and the penny dropped :-)

[@5adrianos]

As Dougie Coop got in the limo to head out to the desert, and the boss says 'knock 'em dead', Coop's reaction seems significant. He says 'dead' somewhat thoughtfully and touches his cheek. It seemed like Cooper was aware he was somehow already dead.

[@stillnessinaction7092]

This episode was incredible! We now have an answer to what Bill witnessed and the "lots of people" comment he made under interview makes more sense now if those "people" were woodsmen. I love how Gordon is getting visions & Alberts response to everything is perfect!

[@PetePeppers1]

Yeah, I pretty much thought the woodsmen were what he was referring to there, but as you said this is confirmation.

[@poontang3zizo]

Stray observation - the store Mike beckons Dougie/Coop into is probably the same company that supplied the coffee to the young couple in episode 1.The _Z_ looks virtually the same

[@riptide10x60]

These episodes are so deep you could probably watch each one 3 times and still not catch everything.

[@justwondersometimes2482]

Yeah i agree with you there. Just reading through the comments and soo many details that people are catching in this episode. For me its the best episode yet.

[@bae_ofpigz]

i really appreciate the content that you've been releasing

[@PetePeppers1]

Thanks, really appreciate the feedback. More to come, working on recap & review right now.

[@mordantfilms]

Nerd fact- season 2 episode 1 had an ending credit sequence with Gersten Hayward playing piano. Season 3 episode 11, which has the reappearance of Gersten, also ends with a credit sequence featuring someone playing piano.

[@Melowdia]

SUCH A GOOD EPISODE!!!

[@FlamingoKicker]

Did you notice the reference to "Sycamore" street when backup is requested?

[@moneteee]

Yup, there was also a Sycamore street near the house where Cooper came back through the electric outlet, they showed the sign when Jade was giving the second ride.

[@iamasuncat]

To my eyes, Diane saw the woodsman approach the vehicle but said nothing. Whether this is because the woodsmen have that hypnotic effect on people or because she was intentionally silent is unclear. Albert and Cole clearly let her see the coordinates: What does she think of that?

[@iamasuncat]

Juliabohemian Definitely. And Diane sees Albert watching her. And Albert is not subtle at all: he holds the photograph out for her to see and makes no attempt to conceal that he's watching her

[@iamasuncat]

Jeffery Martin I hadn't noticed that, I'll have to watch again. And do the containers on the right side of the vehicles match Diane's nails?

[@BAINES03]

I thought they let her see the coordinates because they are monitoring her texts. And they plan on entrapping whoever is at the other end of those texts (doppelcoop or jeffries) at those coordinates.

[@JackRipper8881]

We see a reversed view of the house and the blue shipping container from what appears to be Diane's viewpoint as one of the Woodsmen sneaks by. Maybe Diane sees things reversed and that is why they needed her to identify evil Cooper in the Federal Prison.

[@daphlavor]

Pete, Lynch surely keeps us engaged with more twists and turns, from the commingle of the Mitchum's with Dougie, who I thought he was going to be clipped. Next Hastings is eliminated by the woodsmen, and Cole is almost vanquished, Diane is trying to gather the info to relay to evil coop....

[@vincentphillips2577]

The way Candie delivered the pie to Dougie Coop is Strangly similar to the way Laura Whispers to Coop.

[@sofiagolding1451]

I think Mike manufactured and orchestrated the whole situation with Candy hitting onе of the brothers, the dream, the scar that was miraculously healed just to save Cooper-Duggie. Mike wants him NOT DEAD and AWAKE!

[@PetePeppers1]

Mike certainly had something to do with the dream and the Pie.

[@LarsyD]

Notice Shelly's shoes were red, Diane was wearing red pants, AND Shelly's boyfriend's name is none other than the word "RED."

[@spiceninja]

Coop coming back is so close I can taste it. I’m surprised you didn’t mention him saying “damn good” while eating the pie on his own without repeating someone. I was expecting him to snap out at the very end of this episode but it didn’t happen. It’s close and I’m so excited.

[@lalajobo]

Trey Smith he did repeat "damn good", one of the Mitchum brothers said it first.

[@MetalTrenches]

Mike lures him into a coffee and pastry shop where he buys the pie. It was edited weird, but he does not have the pie box prior and then does immediately after. It's the same place where the intern gets the office coffee.

[@angelkalathas]

When I saw the cherry pie I thought "please tell me that's how Dougie wakes up" and when that beautiful piano song started I almost believed it! What I realised afterwards is that the major clue about Dougie waking up as Dale Cooper is in the title: Twin peaks, "The Return". At first you think the return refers to the return of the show after 25 years, but what it actually means is that the whole season is about the Return of Special Agent Dale Cooper from the Black Lodge. So Dougie will only snap out of this sleepwalking state in the very last episode.

[@Kodaemon]

Szymon's is the shop where Lucky 7 get their coffee, you can see the logo on the cups.

[@nanuyalailai]

Kodaemon - did anyone figure out what the superimposed Z and O as a sun in szymons could mean?

[@JackRipper8881]

There is what looks like a pie for the letter O in SZYMON'S and the letter Z in bold is similar to the coffee cups Tracey brings into the Glass Box room in episode 1. Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see and it means diddly. :-)

[@TokyoXtreme]

Robert Knepper is love. Robert Knepper is life.

[@PetePeppers1]

He's pretty damn good.

[@lalajobo]

TokyoXtreme he's fantastic

[@VenomSnake00]

The Woodsmen at the top of the stairs in Gordon's vision are at the Palmers house, the staircase imagery is prevalent throughout the original show and I believe the staircase they were on was the same leading into Laura's room.

[@PetePeppers1]

I wasn't sure. There is a different staircase that we see in the trailer that hasn't shown up yet so thought it might be that one. I put that one in a trailer video I made but haven't gone back to look. Going to check it now, here is that video if you want to see kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbZan6pZ9OGqck

[@nanuyalailai]

Pete Peppers Check it out on reddit - its the staircase from the picture that Laura was given to the room above the convenience store. Someone even enhanced and found a piece of matching wallpaper between the woodmen.

[@garycottier92]

I think it's probably the staircase from the convenience store.

[@MrJambot]

There were so many weird moments in that shooting scene - but for me it was that bit when Bobby looks from the kid to the Father, which is slowed down, and goes into a brief trance, before snapping out of it. Something to do with his own relationship with his Father, or perhaps to the time when he murdered the cop in FWMM? Either way, a great scene in a great episode. I can't see anything topping episode 9, but episode 11 is surely going to fight hard to hold the second place spot.

[@lukemadams]

I thought it was because the kid was doing the exact same cocky pose as the father lol. Made me laugh

[@MrJambot]

There was definitely something else going on there when Bobby goes into the trance, it's before he looks to the Father. And the way the Father looks to his left immediately just gave the scene an unnerving sense of the uncanny way before the puking kid in the car even comes on screen. What a wonderful scene. Lynch is such a master.

[@Meurth]

Wait, he killed a cop in FWWM? I thought that was just some drugdealer??

[@MrJambot]

Nope - it was our Man Bobby. I have loved his character this season. The way he reacted to the Laura photo was just a great criticism of all of the sentimental bullshit in seasons 1 & 2.

[@stephendackson2178]

It's the same cop that gives Agent Chester Desmond a hard time at the precinct.

[@johnsperry9494]

There's a theory that the Candie character is the voice or POV of the audience. As an example, nearly every scene in this episode either features cars, or refers to cars. Shelly clinging to the hood of her car. Hastings is killed in a car. The gunshot originating in a car. The obnoxious lady in the car. The 2 cars in the desert scene. Even in a scene with no car, with Frank and Hawk looking at the map, deputy Jesse interrupts with news of his new car. To sum it up at the end, Candie says "there were cars everywhere."

[@luizsa8300]

Shortly before Albert pulls him from being sucked into the vortex ,it seemed to me that Gordon was moving his arms in a similar way to Candie when she'd been told to bring Tony to meet the Mitchum brothers.

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Okay, fun episode! I watched the last few episodes again and thought of two things: 1) When Tammy is heading toward Cole's room with the photo of Doppleganger, the first time I watched it I thought I had lag. When I watched it again it seems there is a purposeful sound when Tammy turns the corner and she is walking in slo-mo. She may have been traveling between dimensions? 2) It'd be funny to find out Candy is some sort of secret agent. I dunno, just to add to how intriguing and funny her character is. One scene in particular from episode 10 struck me, when she had her back to everyone in the kitchen. Maybe she was calling someone!? Haha!

[@1whyvonne]

It's probably safe to say that there is going to be a scene in which there is lively conversation around a Formica table with creamed corn on the menu.

[@sephirothstein2943]

This show is the perfect antidote to the stupid shit that's out there right now. It's so refreshing to watch this instead of game of thrones

[@alfredokaramazov]

I watch the two shows and I enjoy both, but there is no point of comparison, I mean, this is fucking Twin Peaks

[@gilbertgotfried]

Try watching GoT right after watching Twin Peaks. The difference is staggeringly noticeable

[@micktompson101]

joethetimelord hey now! The show might be a bit of a mess but it is still good story telling! But to compare it to Lynch is a bit much. GoT is an adaptation of a very immense and immersive book series and it's tough to transfer that to the screen where Twin Peaks is in it original element. Both shows have amazing cinematography but Twin Peaks has the upper hand at story telling..

[@ginofactap]

no need to state the obvious. Twin Peaks is superior because it comes from a master director such as David Lynch, one of the last living legends of cinema. Game of Thrones, on the other hand, is a fairly good show adapted from great books by decent young writers who benefits from great, great production values. it's like comparing a teacher with a student.

[@garycottier92]

Completely agree. GOT is some predictable Lord of the Rings rip off. Twin peaks is, well, it's Twin peaks. Nothing like it ever.

[@jeffmoeller6492]

I believe the text about the "dinner conversation" fits somehow with the child who is spitting up the fluid in the car. I also still believe "Linda" is Diane's child with evil Cooper. She appears to know what is going on. It looks like the town of Twin Peaks is beginning to break down...very interesting stuff.

[@iamasuncat]

Steven's paramour is Donna's kid sister

[@poontang3zizo]

Well somebody's been rummaging through the thesaurus!

[@8bgraphite]

Do you think only certain people can see the woodsmen?

[@daysleepnightread6905]

it seems like the people with strong personalities and character can see the woodsmen

[@mjsaustin5044]

Tammy and Macklin did not appear to be able to see the woodsman. The others must have been touched with the sight somehow.

[@mjsaustin5044]

Sorry, his name is Macklay

[@tarynedisse]

Maybe because they have a connection with cooper?

[@daysleepnightread6905]

tammy and macklay have no depth

[@jeffha4057]

Damn good!

[@douglasdobson8110]

My strongest impression from the episode is that Becky Briggs is a psychopath and every bit as dangerous as Richard Horne, maybe moreso, because everyone in Twin Peaks knows Richard is a crime spree waiting to happen, Becky goes from 0-100 in a heartbeat, she could have killed whoever was on the other side of that room. The second strongest impression was how heartbreaking it was to suddenly realize that a) Shelly and Bobby were married and had Becky, B) Shelly was no longer married to Bobby C) Shelley was in love with a really dirty dangerous scumbag. D) Bobby had a failed marriage and a daughter who's in real trouble. It seems as though his rise to goodness came with a heavy price, and now he's watching Shelly be madly in love with a man Bobby probably knows is dirty, and crazy

[@pinealdreams1064]

It's sad that she's effectively gone back to a Leo character. As though Shelly's just always been that kind of girl..drawn to dangerous men.

[@pinealdreams1064]

That's a good point. He also seems to have a weird, hypnotic power.

[@JackRipper8881]

The scene where Becky throws Shelly off the bonnet of the car and drives off, the camera pans up slightly to show a power pole and a transformer that is a common theme throughout whenever their is evil nearby.

[@benjaminconnor2411]

I believe the reason he got the cherry pie was the one armed man helping him out , if you notice he waves double off the track right to the bakery and then the boxer boss gets dougie back in sync with the limo/deal , I didn't get it at first but just connected it, that scene when The Mitchum brothers laugh in the desert is one of the greatest things ever , and the woodsmen are finally starting to show up! So glad Gordon has his third eye stuff going on and he's in tune ( in my opinion there would be no X-Files or anything she'll like that without this show)

[@broomsfaulty3289]

So is Gordon Cole now one of the gifted and the damned? That was a super close call he had with the Woodsmen almost getting sucked into their realm. I hope he's not the latest in a long line of FBI men to dissappear into the lodge.

[@melissaaustin6974]

What crossed my mind when I saw the symbol that Hawk said Frank never wanted to know about was that it looked like the wood tick that was killed when Dale got shot in Season 2

[@nitratefilms6434]

Nice top 10. I think Reds drug has hit the streets of Twin Peaks. I need to rewatch this one but it moved at a nice clip.

[@anitaroth364]

Pete Peppers, if I knew you personally, I would make you laugh all the time. I love to hear it. Lol

[@averyfaeth8014]

Another thing I've noticed - everyone who is dying supernaturally after an encounter with the dark forces (Sam, Tracey, the secretary, the radio DJ, and now Hastings) is suffering severe head trauma, to the point that they look almost hollowed out. I noticed it immediately in Sam and Tracey's posthumous photo, that they were obliterated but almost cleanly. I also noticed that Albert definitely takes notice of Diane memorizing the numbers, and he seems skeptical or concerned. He narrows his eyes at her as if to let her know he caught it. She immediately begins acting cagey right after, asking for the cigarette and telling the disjointed account of seeing the homeless man, who she said she saw leaving but we clearly see that she sees him approaching, twice. I also noticed that when Dougie digs into the pie, he repeats Rodney by saying, "Damn good," but to my ear it's the first time he's actually sounded like old Coop. Everything else he says is pretty stilted and parroted, but this almost sounded like an autonomous response. You can even catch him take notice of it himself, he stops his chewing and seems to focus on what he just said. I mentioned in another comment that Candie is the only one of the showgirls who has a physical difference in her appearance, in that her feather hairclip is on the right side of her hair. The girl Stephen is with is Donna's little sister Gersten, with Alicia Witt reprising the role. I think Shelly and Bobby are meant to be separated. It didn't occur to her to call Bobby when Becky was in trouble, and she's pretty open about her affection for Red so I would assume these two split a long time ago and just never got a divorce. My question about Diane's alliance really makes me wonder how far back her double crossing goes. Is this a new development, as some sort of revenge against Coop and the FBI? Or was the Diane we know from tapes from the original run an agent of the Black Lodge all along? Shelly looked like Dorothy from Wizard of Oz in this episode and given Lynch's interest in Oz, I'm sure it wasn't an accident.

[@PastelXCore]

This was by far my favourite episode so far! As soon as i finished it i rewatched it haha. This is probably an extremely unpopular opinion but I think I might like this season more than the original seasons. The way all these clues are given to us and we have to decipher them and how the show is shot and edited is amazing. I look forward to this more than game of thrones right now which blows me away.

[@PetePeppers1]

I don't know that it would be an unpopular opinion. It's a bit like apples and oranges, but the Return has been one of the most enthralling TV experiences of all time. I love the original seasons, and love it all honestly, but I am loving this more right now.

[@dfailsthemost]

Maybe the best episode of all 3 seasons. Belushi's faces at the pie table were amazing. Love Bobby as a central figure in the story. Love the living map. Love Redd's multi level destructive effect. Felt like Mom & Dad might be doing a bit of sparkle and it led to a gun in their child's hands. Pretty sure the kid was aiming at Bobby but missed by a mile. Sick kid in the car likely another Sparkle OD. Beginning to wonder if Red is using Sparkle to pull a Needful Things all over Twin Peaks.

[@SEISMICNOISEDNB]

in my opinion Twin Peaks as a town changes during days that portal opens. Did you notice how many calls were made to sheriff office (like town started to go mad). so there was many scenes that were kinda scary - shellys daughter, dakota events, vomiting kid, shoots on streets, people going crazy, log lady call, black fire and symbol that hawk doesnt want to talk about etc etc...

[@averyfaeth8014]

FUGLY UCKER I think all the calls in a row were all about Becky's shooting at the apartment. She stopped repeating the address and I assumed it was because she was recognizing it was all the same incident, and just assured them it was already being addressed.

[@1whyvonne]

Yep and possibly also foreshadowing that "someone's on the way."

[@tylerskiss]

I was so sure we were going to lose Gordon- obviously we knew someone was going down. My next thought was the Detective- and Hastings would catch the blame, but nope... Hastings is done! My question: if Hastings hadn't gone down, having seen the vortex and everything, would they have set Hastings free?

[@velvetfan]

the "fly bit" drives my dog crazy! I watched that part about 5 times watching my dog look for the fly; until she realized I was fucking with her and laid back down and went to sleep. the curse of a smart dog. :)

[@clementleroy9928]

I'm having some thoughts about dougie's reaction to the music : He starts to notice it - and seems to understand it- when its slower. Knowing how the show is playing with time, ( and reading about this particular topic on reddit) I feel like Cooper is just really not perceiving time the same way as "we" are. Its pretty vague but maybe it will have something to do with the papers Major Briggs left to the police ? and as some suspect , cooper needed a certain event to happen to be able to go back to the real world and he came back too early ?

[@PetePeppers1]

I don't know if that theory is right, but I am a fan of it since it's pretty well thought out.

[@PcGameGold]

Yeah Coop out of time/sync, Woodsmen faster than time, coming from an alternate dimension, the Vortex distracts the agents whilst the guy gets killed same way the first couple did at the New York box.

[@ChangShen]

Pete I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but have you noticed that in the very beginning of every episode, there's the Rancho Rosa (Lynch/Frost production company) symbol that comes on. The color of that image changes every week, depending on the theme of that week. This week it was blue (Blue Rose). Other times it's been red, or yellow, or even black & white (Part 8). Just a curious Easter eggy touch, that I don't think anyone has ever pointed out, as far as I know.

[@ІгорХомицький-е1щ]

Did someone see that wallpapers, which was in house,where we can see woodsmans, is the same as wallpapers in the picture, that mrs. Trammond gave to Lora in FWWM. And the kid, who shot, may be kid from the picture, which we saw in ep 3.

[@vvesuvio9775]

Someone else pointed it out. I went over it several times. I don't believe it is or I'm just not seeing it . If someone can explain how or why they would think that??

[@tlbxqxtlbxqx4565]

Almost immediately after the shooting at the diner, a deputy from the Twin Peaks sheriff's office pulls up to assists Bobby - he goes into detail about how he got there so quickly, which seems a little suspicious. If I'm not mistaken, I think he's also the same deputy who barges in on the meeting with Sheriff Truman and Hawk and asks if Truman wants to see his new car, which was also strange. I wonder if this deputy might be involved in doing something evil along with the Twin Peaks bad cop who intercepted Miriam's letter ...

[@stephendackson2178]

He said he was at Big Ed's Gas Farm and heard the shots. Don't think the Gas Farm is close enough to hear those gun shots.

[@garycottier92]

Diane's smoking must be a clue to her character. Where there's smoke....

[@EWUFBIiswatching]

HOLY SHIT I FIGURED IT OUT! 8:39 That symbol isn't the mother of all evil, or some creature with antennas-IT IS THE TWIN PEAKS....WITH A LARGE BLACK PORTAL..That is the ending of this world as we know it and it will start there!!!

[@1whyvonne]

Good call! A distinct possibility for sure. Speaking of that symbol, it seemed odd that it was so much like the owl symbol on the green ring, but just not as linear. Do you think they are related?

[@justwondersometimes2482]

Daammnnn youre goood! Yeah i can totally see that now that youve said it.

[@MuckBulligan]

That has been suggested before in other forums, but shot down for some reason that I now forget.

[@8pool449]

I really like this theory, but the black circle could represent anything, maybe a portal, but could also be a place with a black heart, or it just marks the physical location of the black lodge?

[@PcGameGold]

Or just an Owl?

[@alexandrashurun3652]

first of all, thank you for your videos:) it is strange that Diana is sitting on such a high chair, have no idea why.. also all of us probably noticed the way Cole and Albert showed Diana the photo with coordinates, like they were waiting for her to remember all the numbers.

[@themerote]

This episode was fricken awsome

[@christopherorlando206]

"Lady Slot Addict" hahaha

[@JackRipper8881]

This series is a reflection of modern life and this episode in particular about American gun culture, with the scene of the little boy firing the gun and then both him and the father just standing there nonplussed while the mother is in hysterics. Becky using a gun as a solution to her ordeal is another nod toward this culture. Going way back early on in the series and throughout there has been some sort of commentary with regards to modern life in each episode. The use of drugs by the young mother while her son wandered around, the houses in the new estate all seemingly up for sale due to bank foreclosure, the corruption in the insurance industry, the "99 percenters" that Janey E refers to being screwed over, along with Dr Jacoby's webcast rant plus many other problems with gambling, drug trafficking, child exploitation, domestic violence, elder abuse, extortion and sex. Lynch and Frost are holding up a mirror to our society, but is anyone looking?

[@jaredjohnson9002]

Ok, so, We've all decided that this is taking place in 2015, right? Hasting's last post on the Search For The Zone blog was November 2015, and this all is taking place in the last days of September coming in to October. Did anyone catch that? Do you think hes actually gone?

[@moneteee]

Remember that there was another contributor to his blog Heinrich Viegel. He could be the one that edited the blog. Or someone also might have stole his credential. Also they've deleted the (fictitious) guestbook entries, but if you put thesearchforthezone in the internet wayback machine you can see that there was a message dated 20 november 2015 in which a guy asked something like "where have you all gone?", which a) suggests that at that day the blog hadn't been updated for a while b) might foreshadow something that will happen in the next few episodes (a lot of people - Hawk, Truman, Bobby, Gordon and his crew, DoppelCooper and his foes, etc - visiting other dimensions/places not in our reality and thus disappearing for a while)

[@justwondersometimes2482]

Yes its confusing, i kept thinking that Hastings was taken to the site the same day he was interviewed by Tammy which was sept 30 i believe. Then when Hawk was showing Truman the living map he was pointing to the mountain saying that is where the coordinates lead and where they would be going the day after tomorrow making it sept 29 when the two are having the conversation. So it seems like hawk and truman had the coordinates before Cole and Albert. And evil coop hasnt gotten them yet... And how is Dougie going to find his way there?

[@justwondersometimes2482]

Also, truman bobby and hawk have that extra bit of info about putting a handful of dirt in their pockets. Could it be to ground them. If the black hole theory is correct maybe those three wont get sucked up into it ....wild guess.

[@toddprit]

No it's taking place in 2014. Twin Peaks took place over about a month in 1989, Coop gets stuck and leaves in 2014, 25 years later. Clearly something fishy is going on with the zone site, maybe someone else like Viegel edited the blog to make is seem like Hastings is still alive, maybe it's a continuity error, but Lynch doesn't make continuity errors. Could be a continuity error because maybe Lynch farmed out the zone site stuff to an underling who screwed up, but I doubt it. It's definitely a mystery. We also know that Tammy is suppose to be working on the info in the history of Twin Peaks dossier which is suppose to be in 2016, so we have two different sources that are suppose to be from the future from when the show is taking place with characters in the show...one of whom we now know is dead...

[@toddprit]

no he shows him the map on the 30th, they find the note in the chair on the 29th, Hawk at night talks to the log lady on the phone where she says Laura is the one that night. Then stuff happens during the day and we have another night scene at the station so it's clearly not the 29th. Everything in ep 11 happens the day before stuff is suppose to go down at Jack Rabbit's Palace as far as we know.

[@beyondz55]

Anyone else notice that Lynch, or his set dresser, tends to re-use the same looking lamp shades? I think even the same ones used in Mulholland Drive.

[@TJRtheOriginal]

When Gordon says "He's Dead".....I kept thinking to myself, he should be saying "He's Dead Jim". :) ......But that would be the wrong series....Really enjoying your videos.......BTW: How do you get the episode images for your videos?

[@yans.3908]

Carl has Elf'ears! lol 2:04

[@mahtiel]

Brilliant episode indeed, it got me on the edge of my seat :) But at the end it kind of had me waiting for Cooper's waking up as he ate the cherry pie, I couldn't help it. This is getting too long I guess, though I like Dougie and I respect that there's a lot of storylines that need to unfold before Dale's back. I'm looking forward to your analysis, especially that freaky kid in the car, which is just one more reason why I never watch this show before going to sleep :D

[@wendyc1902]

Man Ive been waiting for this! I must say though, when the kid shot the gun and that stupid woman kept honking the horn... I almost quit right then! Then her screaming sounded repetitive like the horn... That whole scene worked my last nerve! Lol Why didn't Miriam show back up? We didn't see her again.

[@BAINES03]

dr., I had the same reaction.

[@icedpony]

Interesting, 10 and 7 have been my favorites yet

[@pressuredrop7637]

The black corn on the map... there is a log lady intro in the original series where the entire dialogue is about creamed corn. Asking what is creamed corn, and where does it come from etc. There is a reference later in the episode with someone eating it as well, could have some clues in that intro as I don't remember everything she said.

[@PetePeppers1]

Creamed corn is how they show garmonbozia in the show most of the time.

[@1whyvonne]

Pressure Drop so did DougieCoop puke up black creamed corn back at the empty house with Jade?

[@DerekNewtonKeswick]

It's apparent that the Briggs girls like bad men - like mother like daughter. Now that Bobby is a good guy Shelley isn't interested.

[@johnsperry9494]

The apartment neighbor was played by Lauren Tewes, of "Love Boat" fame.

[@Worship666Devil]

Shelly on the hood of the car looking into the windshield scene is very remeniscent of the ending scene from the movie Sleepwalkers. (Madchen Amick was the heroin in that film)

[@chilliLRK]

Awesome!

[@PetePeppers1]

Recap and review will be following, but there's a lot to look at in this one.
