[Twin Peaks] Season 3 Episode 9 Recap & Review | The Return Part 9 This is the Chair

[@NeilOratz]

Bill Hastings actor should be up for an Emmy, great scene.

[@PunksterOS]

I have no recollection of ANY show that I have EVER watched, where every single episode has been such a mind-blowing, captivating television as this series of Twin Peaks The Return has been. Can anyone else say this about any other show? I've been trying but I sure can't think of one. Not even Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones has been this solid throughout. Only episode 6 of Twin Peaks was the weakest and it would still blow most other shows away. Also, a nice reunion of The Hateful 8 cast in this episode. Well, not quite but still I couldn't help but note that.

[@PunksterOS]

It may be worth noting that there is 2 and a half Coopers on that paper. Also, that symbol, is that of the Black Lodge, is it not? Has anyone been to the website of Bill Hasting's yet? *_thesearchforthezoneDOTcom_*

[@kmsharley75]

Punkster For me Lost came close. But the answer to your question is no,I haven't. I feel like I'm 16 again,which is how old I was when the original series had the same effect on me. This is an amazing ride,for which I am so thankful to be on again!

[@jclausell]

Idk man, I'm a huge fan of both Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. I started watching Twin Peaks The Return out of pure curiosity. I have no knowledge of anything from the first two seasons. I often find myself confused when I watch TP:TR but I think its because of the show's odd nature and not because i haven't watched season 1 and 2 and Fire Walk With Me. I will continue to watch TP:TR nontheless.

[@kmsharley75]

jclausell I am an original fan and all I can say is this is an emotional and border line religious experience for me. Stick with it and when it's over,go back and watch Seasons 1&2 then FWWM with the Missing Pieces. Do it slowly,no rush. Welcome to Twin Peaks,man!

[@pedrocantanhede4694]

Lost, especially season 4

[@averyfaeth8014]

Pete, you're my favorite Twin Peaks commenter. I look forward to your videos almost as much as the episodes themselves, and you definitely got me through the two week stretch.

[@PetePeppers1]

thanks for the feedback. this show just doesn't disappoint.

[@chromegnats]

sick horse also really enjoy this page. Thanks, Pete!

[@averyfaeth8014]

Pete Peppers I'm sure this has already been brought to your attention but in the scene with the guy running around the house into the wall, that's Johnny Horne, Audrey's brother. If you put subtitles on, the woman who calls for him is credited as "Sylvia" and the credits list both Johnny Horne and Sylvia Horne. Maybe we are one step closer to Audrey?

[@kmsharley75]

Chester Desmond music during the Ike the Spike/Cop bust was epic! What a brilliant touch!

[@ChangShen]

kmsharley75 Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that music sounded familiar.

[@SmeagolFM]

I love the fact that the numbers 2, 5 and 3 are so significant. Since we now are watching the 3rd Season after 25 years of waiting. It's just lovely how all this is connected! Great video by the way!

[@ChangShen]

Fabian M. I never thought of that. Very clever!

[@StillBloom]

Is Albert married? I noticed that he seemed intrigued by the Coroner 😍 Met his match, perhaps?

[@TheHemingwayLandCompany]

When EvilCoop texted the message it was in lower case and lacked punctuation. When Diane got the message it was all in CAPS and had correct punctuation. I don't think the text is coming from him.

[@PetePeppers1]

We were talking about this in another comment. Interesting indeed.

[@phantorang]

I think Diane is looking to get some revenge on Bad Coop, and dont want to tell Gordon and the others that she has someone helping her, because it could ruin her chance at revenge.

[@surfergirl1260]

When dougie coop notices the woman's red shoes while in the waiting room it could be a hint to Audrey Horne and her red heels?

[@Emulous79]

Put on ya red shoes and dance tha blues - David Bowie (who also wore them as Jefferies)

[@niekianie]

I thought it was about Laura Palmer in the red room, but im not sure she wore red shoes though

[@stephan3568]

I thought of the Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz (one of Lynch's obsessions) when I saw the red shoes. The faces (BOB, Laura) inside of the orbs remind me of the Crystal Ball from The Wizard of Oz as well.

[@Emulous79]

The "twin peaks" are symbols of the twin pillars in Freemasonry. One is blue, the other red, which is why these colours are frequently used by Lynch and also mentioned by Bowie in the same lyric line of that song. One pillar or "peak" is called Jakim, as in Jack. The One-Eyed part is obvious and being shown in marketing more explicitly these days. It's an occult elite system of symbolism.

[@moneteee]

Imho those just catch his attention and give him the chance to notice the electric outlets, remember when he left the Lodge and took Dougie's place he came out of an electric outlet

[@corazzellim]

Interesting that the text Coop sends is in lowercase and the text Diane receives is in all caps.

[@PetePeppers1]

I thought about that too. Was wondering if it had been relayed by someone else.

[@corazzellim]

Pete Peppers If it was relayed, perhaps it was done so by Phillip Jeffries, as he seems to be the only character who knows what Coop is doing at most times.

[@PetePeppers1]

That would be my guess without a doubt. Seems like one of those things that has to be intentional, I mean it isn't like a continuity error. Someone had to set up the screen and make a decision to make it all caps.

[@chromegnats]

Fucking awesome catch. Thank you, guys.

[@nessanshaw]

Has to be deliberate reference to re-send, as Coops is entirely lower case, and hers entirely upper. Not just one with a strange setting or whatever, but both.

[@blahuhm6782]

Actually it looks to say cooper three times, but the third is cut in half (dougie?)

[@jessicatremmel4270]

Yes it does, this is from the secret history. Not sure who it means but it does say it 3 times

[@MassiveBlank]

There were three Coops for a while; Evil Coop, Dougie, and Good Coop (stuck in the lodge). So maybe Briggs cut the third off because it was no longer necessary. Just my two cents.

[@jakeyjingus]

the original message has 'cooper' at least 5 times in a row so i doubt there's any direct meaning behind the repeated iterations

[@Emulous79]

There's a lot of mantras or repeated phrases in this new series. "Got a light?" is spoken 3 times the first time we hear it from "Abe", for example. Almost like magical spells being cast.

[@NF-xy6br]

yeah, or in the last episode of the second season when the old man keeps asking about coffee in the red room

[@MrHEC381991]

The scene with Laura Dern and David Lynch outside the morgue having a smoke was nice. I nearly forgot that they've been friends for years in real life lol

[@mentally00]

(7:40) Johnny Horne and Sylvia Horne

[@PetePeppers1]

yep

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

Pete Peppers I bet Johnny regains his sanity after that, and it will be a prelude to Agent Coop regaing his.

[@nikosntoufas]

From twinpeaks.wikia: On February 24, 1989, while wearing a headdress, Johnny constantly hit his head against a dollhouse, upset that his tutor - Laura Palmer - was not present, for she had been murdered the night before. - He maybe upset once again for some reason.

[@secondcomingofbast9908]

Νίκος Ντούφας Or, maybe his consciousness has been trapped in the Black Lodge all this time, and when he comes to himself he's going to have something to say. Maybe.

[@lepistanuda]

eesh, i don't think Johnny's 'consciousness is trapped in the black lodge'. I think he's just disabled

[@hgbugalou]

Best crying Matthew Lillard has done since SLC Punk!

[@Dylanquinn666]

Haha. I was expecting him to call someone a poser :P

[@mackey-5438]

I swear, when he first mentioned "scuba diving", when I heard the first syllable , for a second I thought he was going to say "Scooby" !!

[@Laaaaaaaaaura]

xD!!!!

[@dinahdonovon]

Michael O always cry in that scene. SLC Punk forever!!

[@Roberson540]

Alot of head trauma on this show.... Johnny smacks his head on the wall.... Ben Horne gets pushed into the wall in the season 2 finale.... Evil Coop smashes his head into the mirror in the season 2 finale.... Maggie gets her head rammed into the wall by leland.... just a note. no idea what it means.

[@Roberson540]

awww, I can't believe I missed that one! Thank you!

[@CoolGrayStudios]

Roberson540 Lynch uses death by head trauma often...not just in Twin Peaks.

[@FlamingoKicker]

Was that the same actor that played Johnny in the original series and if not was it just a simple gruesome way to write the character off and say "been there, done that" and move on? Like everyone wants to know what happened to this character, what happened to that character? So in the case of Johnny...he smashed his head into the wall and died. Can't imagine he'd have much to actually contribute to this storyline anyway? Apparently alot of staircases in the Horne household though.

[@nessanshaw]

And Nadine Hurley gets her memory back following a head injury (falling stage weight) during the Pine Weasel Riot at the Great Northern. Can't remember if she lost her memory in the first place from a head knock but probably. Why I suspect Johnnys injury may be significant.

[@lindabarnes8005]

Johnny was not all there 25 years ago. He wore an Indian head dress, played with a rubber bow and arrow and made Indian sounds. Remember when the arm, the midget told Cooper in the lodge what he sounded like? An Indian making a sound while tapping his hand over his mouth. Maybe Johnny wasn't autistic. What if he had contact with the lodge?

[@OneSouthernSimmer]

had a thought about the two girls sitting in the booth at the roadhouse brunette says the zebra is out again she maybe referring to evil cooper bc he escaped from prison and the blonde ask her if she's seen the penguin maybe she is referring to cooper bc he is usually seen wearing a suit

[@CoolGrayStudios]

Great recap & review. I like it better when these come first, as I refresh my screen every 10 minutes on Monday mornings waiting for it! Couple of comments: 1) Don't think you mentioned that Hutch and Chantal have the same last name. Married or siblings, ya think? They both seem sweet on the boss! 2) Evil Coop arrived at a farm...complete with farmers...but apparently this isn't THE farm. He and Ray both said they were heading to the farm, but Ray wasn't there to "finish him," so my guess is this was an interim farm. Either way, farms seem symbolically significant this season. 3) You mentioned being surprised at Ben's declination of the opportunity to kanoodle with Beverly. I wasn't surprised. Ben seems very different this season. In part 1, Jerry asked him if he'd hit on her yet, and Ben scoffed and said she was married. That was never an obstacle with the old Ben. He seems to have been through a transformation...or this is an alternate Twin Peaks. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@jamiebraswell5520]

Pete Peppers, I sure am glad I have found you! I was late getting into Season 3 because I was getting caught up with the original series rewatch. As I have watched the new episodes, I found your pages and have been watching all videos you have made in association with each new episode I viewed. Your efforts are wonderful and quite enjoyable and enlightening at times. I have now viewed ALL of your Twin Peaks Season 3 videos and liked every one. I have subscribed as well! Thank you for taking the time to do these breakdowns and discussions. I am so happy to now be completely caught up!

[@horseloverfat3405]

One thing I noticed is that, when Hastings wrote the date, he wrote 9/20 while on the piece of paper from major Briggs it was written that in two days would be 10/1.

[@PetePeppers1]

I did not notice that, will go back and look

[@MizzSweetThang]

Boba Fett I noticed that too!

[@ChangShen]

Boba Fett I think the story in Twin Peaks is in the future (9 days ahead). Explains the weird "Bing/Billy" scene.

[@mosesgarner2404]

I noticed it too. There's either time travel at play here (besides the other times in the show/movie where time travel is depicted) or the story lines in each city are not happening at the same time and instead are days appart and Lynch is showing us the scenes as if they are at the same time.

[@ChangShen]

Moses Garner I agree. I think ultimately the showdown is happening 2:53 on October 1st, but the other stories (Buckhorn, Vegas, and dare I say, NY) need time to catch up, so that everyone ends up at Twin Peaks at the same time. But I could be totally wrong...

[@Dylanquinn666]

I wanna go scuba-diving

[@Antrikkos576]

7:34 About this scene, Johnny is Johnny Horne and the woman is Sylvia Horne, his mother. Both names appear in the ending credits. Sylvia Horne is played by the same actor as in the original series

[@williamepperson3443]

Great video as always! Your the only twin peaks content creator I watch, keep it up & travel safe wherever it is your going sir... can't wait for the next one!

[@MadSKWIREL]

That black symbol above the wigvam on the piece of paper is the same as the symbol on the Ace card, which EvilCoop showed Daria in Episode 2.

[@loca1702]

It originates from the Owl Cave,,

[@clgnv5168]

The black head is the mother I think (wich we can see in the box in epiosde 1 and in the nuclear bomb in 8)

[@Rebelphoenix]

I'm calling it now, Albert has the best line in the entire season in this episode of any character.

[@ChollieD]

Miguel really gets some good ones. I wonder if cousin George Clooney is watching?

[@mackey-5438]

For me too. Although "Fruitcake, anyone ?" is pretty funny.

[@moneteee]

Jessica Tremmel that was awesome but what happens in season 2 just blew my mind

[@stuartkenny3050]

Good call, but nothing beats Wally Brando's speech about his shadow.

[@juliabohemian]

I feel like Albert gets all the good lines

[@JAGdeLemos]

Ruth Davenport: The B-Log Lady

[@FijneWIET]

Johnny Horne is played by Robert Davenport in the pilot episode... It probably doesn't mean anything but it caught my attention.

[@spacetick3780]

so is the foot the doppelganger? to the arm?

[@jaredjohnson9002]

I could totally see that being a thing.

[@ThomasG1]

- Ben Horne's change of character could be related to what happened to Donna shortly after season 2 (disappearance? death?) - Johnny's death could be a good reason for Audrey to come back to Twin Peaks. - I could see Bobby going through the portal at Jack Rabbits Palace to reunite with his dad (see Briggs' vision of the future in season 2 episode 1). - random thought: I think kissing is going to play a big part soon.

[@moneteee]

Ben Horne had already begun to change by the end of season 2, after recovering from his Civil War madness, if you think about it he wanted to tell the truth about Donna's fatherood in the first place because he wanted to do good and to clear his mistakes from the past. Also, if there's an event that might have made him even more willing to do good I think that would definitely be the explosion in the bank and the subsequent injury/coma Audrey suffered

[@batgurrl]

Thanks for another insightful recap. I missed some of this stuff hehe I felt so letdown after waiting 2 weeks after that surreal greatness. The Diane parts was the highlight for me. I was intrigued by the Dougie Coop close ups though.

[@gutchdutts]

Anyone notice the 666 above the second COOPER?

[@MadSKWIREL]

yeah there's M666. the combination of numbers on the electricity pole in Convinience Store scene also makes 666. so it's not a coincidence I believe.

[@johnrobinson6945]

The secret history of Twin Peaks says that " the moon child" , Bob apparently, is believed by some to be the antichrist.

[@tylerskiss]

I find it amusing that the troll-ism moments in each episode (the sweeping of the bar, the cigarette break) seem to be the moments many people cite as their favorite from their respective episode. I find them cute, but I wouldn't mind a tighter edit. I'm curious about Tammy's shifting and obvious discomfort in that scene. The piece of paper that says Cooper/Cooper actually has a 3rd Cooper and is the exact thing Briggs showed Coop when he got "the Owls Are Not What They Seem".

[@mrgordo]

I think Tammy was just uncomfortable because Gordon Cole had given up smoking and she didn't like him sharing a smoke with Diane, probably because she was afraid he would fall back into bad habits. Someone said they thought it was because she was smoking a joint, but that didn't look like a joint to me!

[@moneteee]

That's why it's relevant, Briggs cut it so that only two Coops were left

[@tylerskiss]

I felt like Tammy was a tad more anxious than just concern for Cole's bad habit... I also thought Cole's lingering glance at Diane was something significant, but I guess he just wanted a smoke, so I guess I'm wrong. Oh well, not the first, won't be the last.

[@mrgordo]

Who can say for sure in a show like this? As you pointed out, Lynch loves to troll viewers by dragging scenes out on purpose that might not mean anything but seem to hold a more weighted significance at the time BECAUSE they go on so long. It's only in retrospect that we know if there's a reason for it- i.e. the old man scene in the S2 premiere after Coop was shot later turns out to be filled with clues, not to mention that the old man is revealed to be the Giant's host later on; the scene in the bank on the S2 finale is meant to build tension because something bad actually IS about to happen and Lynch is lulling viewers into a false sense of security because they think it's just Lynch being Lynch. If you look at the sweeping scene, for instance, I don't think that it's what's important obviously, but the phone call after might be. I think that was setting up the fact that Jacques' relative- can't recall his name off the top of my head- is still involved in dirty business all these years later. It also might have been setting up two characters that might figure into things later- possibly the two girls we saw at the end of the most recent episode. (Yes, they don't look young enough to be jailbait types, but then, neither did any of the original cast look like teenagers, which I do think was intentional on Lynch's part, as a means of tweaking old Hollywood movies/shows where that was typically the case.) There's also whoever the "client" was that was complaining about the price for the "services rendered"- that could turn out to be someone we know or will later meet as well. Then again, it could just be Lynch trolling! You never know!

[@MrPeteykins]

Hey, let's give credit to Charlotte Stewart (Mrs. Briggs) for also being one of the stars of Eraserhead.

[@ChangShen]

The "roadhouse band" (Au Revoir Simone, my new obsession) are all wearing the same clothes as when they appeared in Episode 4. Suggesting that scene happened in the past? Or just because all the "roadhouse bands" shot their sequences in one day?

[@stuartkenny3050]

Great recap and review! Here's an idea for a video: "10 Things That Happen At The Same Time But In Different Episodes." For instance, in this episode, Shaggy (can't think of the character's name and he'll always be Shaggy to me) talks about seeing Major Brigg's head come off. That means he was in the Zone at the same time as Good Coop who saw Brigg's head float by. After talking to Preston in Ep. 7, the colonel makes a call. That call is likely to be the one to Lynch in this episode. The Mother is knocking on the door in Ep. 3 just moments before she enters in Ep. 1--I suspect she passed through the socket in the interim. Laura Palmer yells and floats upward at the same time as Daria is killed, showing all Bob's victims are connected. I think we're getting things out of chronological order, but if we could put together what's happening in one story at the same time as what's happening in another story, we'd have a clear picture. What day did Season 3 start? What day are we in now? What happened on each day? Will it end on 10/2? Maybe another video idea: "How Many Days and What Happens On Each Day."

[@moneteee]

I was also thinking about this, but I realized I was a bit overthinking it all. Consider this: we know Coop had to leave the Lodge at the same time when Evil Coop should go back in. So all those scenes were taking place when the Doppelganger had the car accident and that was definitely after Hastings arrest (Coop wasn't driving anymore Hastings' wife's car after killing her). So unless the scene from the Lodge to the Mauve zone starts a lot earlier (but we saw Coop watching his doppelganger driving). That's not possible. I thought the same because during many of those scenes early in the season of Coop in other dimensions (the Lodge or the Zone, or the one where he talks with the Giant) he gets warned that there is someone else (or something, as the Giant says "It is in our house now") and also Hastings mentions that during his meeting with Briggs there were a lot of people, but again the timeline doesn't seem to match. I think it's still possible that the scene in which Coop is with the Giant still has to happen, but again it wouldn't match with Hastings experience which has already happened, unless there is some circular timeline stuff involved.

[@madalinavornicu5642]

Johnny and Sylvia Horne. They're in the credits.

[@PetePeppers1]

yeah, saw that after I had already finished recording. I guess Richard could be the spawn of Johnny.

[@checkerphil]

or Audrey and Dopplecoop when she was in a coma…

[@moneteee]

Sylvia Horne is Ben's wife and Johnny and Audrey's mom (barring any mess with Doc Hayward) in the original show.

[@flubberyang]

Has anyone mentioned 253 is a Washington State area code? Tacoma area.

[@auntieweirdo]

also 2:53 was the time that the Coopers were meant to swap places - and Dougie and Coop swapped instead.

[@adthomp]

love watching your recaps and reviews the next day after I have watched the episode :) first thing I do in the morning is to see if it is up

[@ChollieD]

Matthew Lillard: "Scuba diving! Scuba diving! Scooby Doo!" lolz

[@the13thdoctor89]

Dan D Zoinks!!!!

[@electricmagazine1]

The sound that Richard Horne and his secretary hear in the hotel is the EXACT same sound that is heard in Cooper's dream from Season 1, when we see the shadow of an unknown object floating behind the red curtains in the black lodge. The same sound can also be heard while Bob is giving his monologue in International Pilot ending, when he says "Mike... Mike..." The exact same sound. I always thought that floating object could symbolize a lost page from Laura's diary.

[@jeffha4057]

I am not your foot!

[@Emulous79]

Also kind of funny how Arnie dangled him over a cliff by his foot.

[@gamernskater1991]

Dan Warren huh?

[@resipsaloquitur5562]

That scene was hilarious.

[@pressuredrop7637]

Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last? I lied....

[@Emulous79]

Don't fuck with the Matrix ;)

[@stolenorange]

Love the actual website by Hastings "Search for the Zone" nice touch and very new age style. When I heard the zone being mentioned I thought of the film "Stalker" by Tarkovsky - a bit of a nod to it?

[@craigmorgan4338]

Could be wrong but the ringing noise from major Briggs tube is similar to the noise in the great lodge

It so far seems that the "return" in the name of this season refers to something else than to returning into the city of TP. Rather to the return of Cooper to our plane of existence followed by his conscience which is yet to be awakened in the grand finale...? Im perhaps stating the obvious, but it fascinates me. I love this show.

[@rampface85]

lol @ "Officer Chad sighting". I'm going to think of that phrase every time he shows up now

[@moneteee]

Another interesting thing after rewatching the episode: in the piece of paper left by Briggs we see the Twin Peaks. Above one of them there's the owl cave ring symbol/the symbol on the Ace of spades card that Coop showed to Darya, with some kind of a moon. Above the other, the one on the left, there's a red sun or something reminiscent of a sun. Is there maybe a relation with all the red balloons we saw in Vegas?

[@garycottier92]

You would think that Andy would be more interested in the hit and run involving the 'farmer's' truck than debating with Lucy about what colour chair they want. And what about Janey-E taking 'Dougie' to the doctor's 'today'? We ended the show, as normal, at night and no doctor's appointment, again. And maybe the major's instructions will lead Hawk to Glastonbury grove? Still, brilliant episode. Intriguing and addictive, just what will happen next?

[@marclax6230]

Chairs seemed to a central thing in this episode. Major Briggs chair and the scene with Lucy and Andy. Is it more than it appears? We know it refers to the title and of course the cylinder but is there more?

[@_RMH_]

For anyone who felt that the new series was moving slowly, I think this episode has really sped things up and I think lynch knew what he was doing with building up with the week break. I think the show will get faster and faster and more climactic every episode now

[@JanPBtest]

17:33 It's interesting that the "253" number comes in two different contexts: time and distance, which BTW means that the Lodges do not use the metric system :-) I suspect this is an oversight on Frost/Lynch's part (they were brought up in a non-metric country and simply didn't think about it) as the yards/metres distinction is purely man-made and should not have any inherent significance in any dimension.

[@gummisnoodable]

On the metric issue (with some possible theory points added) - Major Briggs knew the time window of opportunity when the "portal" would be open and could have made it easier for Bobby to remember the time and place by making the distance the same as the time, in case the paper with the details were lost en route. We don't know if he foresaw this yet or was aware of possible changes to the what he foresaw brought on by others. This Jack Rabbit's Palace (JRP) may have been chosen by the Major due to it's proximity to the lodge portal for late night lodge visits or experiments while Bobby was sleeping as well as for the presence of a certain type of soil in the area of JRP perhaps. Bobby may just remember it as the place of his childhood camping memories/adventures. Although soil from the vicinity of JRP seems to be important too, the exact location where the soil is taken doesn't seem to be since the directions are not super specific on the soil : ""253 yards east of Jack Rabbit's Palace. Before leaving Jack Rabbit's Palace put some soil from that area into your pocket." It simply says "from that area." The soil could even be the same at JRP as the portal, but it may be important to have the soil in your pocket before approaching the portal, perhaps even to "ground" you to this dimension…haha: ground=soil, ground=electrical implications…hmm...

[@Nozomi.B]

Could it be that in the scene where Gordon and Diane are smoking they're having a conversation in some kind of code with their eyes? I thought Gordon was blinking in a strange way. Also at the scene in the plane where he is holding her shoulder, he push it in a very weird way that seems he is sending her some kind of code that transmits with touching. I don't know...

[@StevenRice]

Mariana Miralles Gordon Likes his codes. Especially with Blue Rose cases.

[@kawuniadarunia2]

There's one thing that baffles me. Noticed how when sheriff Truman is talking about the dates given by Major Briggs, he's saying the 1.10. is ''two days from now'' while when Preston was interviewing Bill Hastings she asked him to circle the photo of the Major and write down the date it was 20.9.? That once again indicates that the story isn't following a coherent timeline. With that said I'm getting furthermore convinced that the very first scene of the season, when the Giant is talking with Cooper in (presumably) the White Lodge takes place later on the show, AFTER Cooper returns to the real world and AFTER the whole Dougie/Coop storyline. Perhaps when he disappears in that scene after the Giant says ''You are far away'' might be the moment when Cooper regains consciousness in the real world.

[@iamcool551]

Not sure if mentioned but I just rewatched S3 Ep3 and noticed the time 2:53 when the woman looked at her digital watch (14:00 mark) and that was when real Cooper left the "white lodge" and replaced Dougie

[@arnoldjosephson6281]

Greetings from Norway Pete 😀. I really enjoy your videos. It is so GREAT to have Twin peaks back.

[@johnrobinson6945]

Bloody evil Coop in the opening scene was actually an un credited guest appearance by Charlie Sheen.

[@joepwrsurge]

My theory = The beauty of Twin Peaks season 1 is the expectation or anticipation that Laura Palmer's murder is going to be solved. So Frost and Lynch are using Dougie Cooper in season 3 to create that same kind of tension: What event is going to eliminate Mr. C and restore Dale's mind, body, and spirit?!?

[@benjaminroberts9167]

Johnny's accident, presumably, will be the catalyst for Audrey's return to Twin Peaks (for the funeral).

[@MyChannel-h7y]

What if the "Double Header" means that Bob/Cooper and Dougie/Cooper will actually come face to face? Maybe Bob/Cooper wants to make sure Dougie is finished himself.

[@tomhatcher8309]

Anyone else notice when Cole said "this is the waiting room"? Kinda seems like dual meaning, like he has heard about the waiting room, or the red room.

[@michaeljamesmoore]

Glad so many plot points from the season premiere were brought back to the forefront. Does "double header in Vegas" refer to Duncan Todd (for incompetence) and Dougie Dale?

[@moneteee]

Yup, it seems like the most obvious thing

[@NightSparrow107]

I think someone else messaged Diane. Just because if she got it from Mr.C it would have all been in lower case. But Diane got it in all CAPS

[@moneteee]

One thing that I find a little confusing is why would Major Briggs give important information to two unknowns who basically stuck their nose where it doesn't belong. I wonder whether he just gave them some bogus coordinates knowing that Coop was after them. Also, Evil Coop is trying to get those coordinates from Ray, meaning he wasn't among the people who were present in that dimension during the meeting with Major Briggs, but Ray probably was (maybe he followed Hastings and Davenport).

[@arekkrolak6320]

worth noting the sheet found inside the major briggs cylinder contained the same symbol as the one that evil coop has shown to darya on the ace of spades

[@gregkrazanski]

lol they made so much effort to make the sheriff's wife sound so specific and you didn't even recognize her voice in the johnny scene haha!

[@PetePeppers1]

It's credited as Sylvia Horne.

[@gregkrazanski]

i stand corrected! my sincere apologies

[@moneteee]

Any thought on who might be the JT mentioned by Ike the Spike? The part about Coop watching the electric outlet is very important to me because when he was watching the flag he kinda looked like when he saw the badge, the statue etc, like he was remembering something and then the electric outlet, which must be key since he came out of an electric outlet when he took Dougie's place

[@somejackball]

i think David was trying to keep from cracking up when they were outside for the smoke break =)

[@Emulous79]

Maybe I read too much into this but the electrical outlet at 6:19 almost resembles two faces with the mouths hanging open. Two Coopers?

[@rw8185]

The woman is Sylvia Horne, Audrey's mother and the crazy guy running into the wall is Audrey's brother Johnny.

[@joepwrsurge]

why was there no Jennifer Jason Leigh in the credits?

[@rini6]

How did Diane expect a message and collude with someone she's terrified of? Was that an act?

[@mosesgarner2404]

AFter watching this episode I've decided to purchase the book..."The Secret History of Twin Peaks" I know there is some vital Major Briggs info in that thing and this episode sparked a HUGE amount of curiosity in me.

[@mosesgarner2404]

Yea I was gonna get the audio book but the actual book has all kinda of awesome stuff in it. Thanks TACHYON TIME LORD

[@chilliLRK]

You have a new subscriber man, great content. It's so helpful, I've been trying to get my brother to watch twin peaks with me but he won't so I'm trying to find videos that will explain it to him for me. This is great

[@jmj2918]

Coop fixates on red shoes. Diane is wearing red shoes. Symbol above mountain in Briggs note is same as Mr C's card shown to Dahria. Me C seems to have sent text to Diane (on a pink phone)

[@marcuscross8051]

The text message Diane received was uppercase with a comma in it. The text Evil Cooper sent was lowercase with no comma in it. Continuity error or an indication that the text was sent by someone else?

[@JamiHeart]

Jonny was Jonny Horne, Audrey's mentally challenged older brother that Laura used to mentor....the woman was Sylvia Horne, Ben Horne's wife.

[@sashatroshina1211]

isn't the cylinder making the same noise Ben and Beverly hear at the hotel?

[@ajellyfish6357]

Sasha Troshina I thought the same thing...I bet there is a cylinder in a chair in the hotel

[@ACombineSoldier]

MUCH better interpretation than any of the ign videos. great job!

[@PetePeppers1]

Thanks. Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback.

[@anitaroth364]

I would think if Diane were linked to bad Coop, she would have tried to be in the room behind the glass when they interrogated Hastings to know what Albert knows.

[@Archi574]

"in'eresting!" stuff man, thnx for all your work! : P

[@daysleepnightread6905]

with every cup of coffee dougie-coop seems to get a little bit more aware

[@stillnessinaction7092]

How is nobody talking about the ITCHY ARMPIT?!

[@fireflocs]

Theory: Evil!Coop turns down Chantelle because BOB is turned off by consensual sex.

[@jamiebraswell5520]

Bob may not be with Evil-Coop anymore. Remember the scene where the Woodsmen prevented him from dying. It seemed like Bob left him at that point.

[@lisae9614]

So...is it safe to assume Warden Murphy helped Ray double-cross Evil Coop?

[@djwhitesox]

The last episode of season 2 Sheriff Truman walks and waits for Cooper while he enters the the waiting room to the black lodge! I'm surprised nobody has brought this up!

[@cupoffilmpodcast4270]

Could the two girls at the end of this episode be the ones that Jean-Michel Renault talked about over the phone?

[@moneteee]

He talked about some 15 year olds. You can stretch it for the blonde girl portrayed by Sky Ferreira (who was 23-24 depending on when these scenes were shot), the brunette actress is born in 1981, for as much as teenagers in movies and tv shows are usually portrayed by actors in their early 20s you can't possibly get away with a woman in her mid 30s. Also, the girl Renault mentioned were supposed to at least have the look and behavior of straight A students, which doesn't seem the case with those two

[@Hogbeast100]

On the 2nd piece of paper, there is a 3rd Cooper

[@PetePeppers1]

Except he cut it down. Think in the original print out it said Cooper Cooper Cooper.

[@daridane5603]

Season2 Episode2. One of the two messages (alongside "The Owls are not what they seem") detected by Maj. Briggs the night Cooper was shot and visited by the Giant. Now it's clear that was referred to Cooper, the Doppelganger and Dougie Jones. But Briggs knew that would've remain only two Coops at this point.

[@ChangShen]

Dari Dane That makes total sense.

[@EliSchwab]

Yeah man I love your videos!!! Thanks for all the dissection!

[@lalajobo]

i thoroughly enjoy your Twin Peaks chatter 👍

[@LarsyD]

I have been thinking about something - all of the doppelgangers have bright blue eyes in the lodge, right? So why doesn't evil coop/doppelcoop have those eyes anymore? We even saw them on the Leland doppelganger at the beginning of the season, right?

[@fireflocs]

That paper doesn't have two Coopers on it. It says 'COOPER/COOPER/CO'. It has 2 1/3 Coopers on it. I would guess the 1/3 is Dougie, who apparently was never a complete being unto himself.

[@zombiexsix]

Will you do a whole video of the Zone website, I have no idea what's going on there lol!

[@bartley5655]

Jerry has been in the woods for two days now, I don't think his just high

[@lanois19651]

did anyone see the mark behind bills ear? it looks like the same mark major briggs has in the same spot...

[@lovenlightman]

Episodes 7 8 and 9 where great in my opinion, Mostly 8,9. Lynch telling us why Boob could come to earth earth with other evil Forms. Does any one know the name of the song in the end of episode 9?

[@kalisimmons8354]

Are you planning on doing some digging and a video on the zone website? There were a couple of interesting clues on the Reddit thread on the episode.

[@PetePeppers1]

I am. I didn't get to dig into it too deep since I was working on this, but it will definitely get some mentions in the 10 things you might have missed at minimum.

[@kalisimmons8354]

Awesome! Glad to hear it. Your videos are definitely the most thorough and thoughtful of Lynch's material.

[@moneteee]

I found it very interesting that there are links to Tesla's stuff. I seem to remember you mentioned in one of your previous videos a theory from a redditor or someone else about the scene with the Eyeless Woman in part 3, where the lever pulled by the woman causes a switch from DC to AC (or viceversa, I don't remember). Could be confirming that theory. There are interesting things in the guestbook too. And the website was created in 1997 and we know that's also the year when mentions of Dougie Jones first appear.

[@anitaroth364]

I am hoping Audrey & Bobby together, are in on bringing good Coop back to stop all this evil... But isn't Audrey in a Coma, or is she out? Audrey & Bobby worked together before when bringing her Father back from the Blue & Grey war.

[@ryanmbira3968]

hi Pete, I noticed that the credits feature Cheryl Lee (laura palmer). Was she the woman with red high-heels? Or did I miss something?

[@Dummy666]

Cooper flew the Coop!

[@shortsrus]

Anyone notice Misses Briggs had a ring on both of her ring /spiritual fingers?

[@BoardGameClub]

You thumbnail says Episode 8 (not 9) recap and review! Must have used the same text and forgot to change it

[@PetePeppers1]

thanks, didn't notice it

[@BoardGameClub]

Nice. Maybe as gratitude you can finally answer me why you say "Janey-E-E" with an extra E sometimes? :D

[@PetePeppers1]

It's just a mistake I was making. Didn't realize I was doing it until you mentioned it.

[@BoardGameClub]

Pete Peppers dude, I'm like your editor

[@anitaroth364]

Is Tammy the same girl that is the new singer of "Sycamore Trees" ? I always wanted that song played at my funeral. I love trees. 👍🏻

[@frankhuizar9171]

Any other David Lynch fans out there notice that the red bandana bad Coop takes off the post is same one that the Cowboy from Mulholland Dr.wears around his neck?

[@FlamingoKicker]

I'm puzzled by Hastings reaction to Ruth's death in the Zone. He didn't seem to have any memory of that when the police first encounter him way back in the earlier episodes and he asks what is going on? and they mention Ruth and if he knew her and he of course acts like "no" he didn't know her and all to cover up that they'd been having an affair BUT he didn't act at all like he knew she'd been killed already in that other dimension so what's up with that? Had he been possessed by someone like BOB and then later they allowed his memories to return cause now he won't shut up about it.
