I bet it's the sound of the electricity moving through the ceiling fan. Just like it tried to possess Laura that way in The Missing Pieces. And there was a close-up shot of the fan spinning through the windows as Hawk walked up to the house. Uh-oh.

I may have to watch this over right away. Past episodes, I've given it a few days first. There was barely any new info to digest or worthwhile details to try to untangle -- except Diane with the coordinates, which still had some quirks; and we found out "Blue Rose" has to do with some lady victim who said this before she died, who was among the mysterious cases necessitating "an alternate path."
Otherwise: all the new names dropped tonight, often of unseen characters, it does approach the level of farce.

Now that the golden orb with Laura's face is in the world has Turkey Jerky been brought into the world of Twin Peaks??? Image

The way Sarah was acting when Hawk paid his visit lead me to two conclusions:
1. BOB is currently inhabiting Sarah.
2. The kid from the store is the first new victim (that was him in the kitchen, likely near death)
The only problem with the idea that kid could be in her kitchen is that, if he was delivering wouldn't he have driven those groceries? A delivery vehicle should have been parked in front of the Palmer house when Hawk pulled up.

"Men are coming".. "I feel funny" evokes what Dougie said in the Red Room... "Get the goddamned car keys!" Poor Sarah~

and looks like audrey and richard horne are not really mom and son - or at least not a present mother.
I think the number of unique characters in the Roadhouse at this point proves that they're not random, but very purposeful to the larger tapestry. Just because they may not relate to the plot or that we may never see them again doesn't make them useless, imo. It's about local color, atmosphere, etc. Unorthodox writing for sure, perhaps not plot related, but serving a different purpose.

First time I fast forwarded through a scene. Doctor Amp. Never liked Amp to begin with, but if it turns out to be some time loop/groundhog day thing then I'll go back and watch it 100 times, I promise. Watching all this doctor amp does lend itself to a certain catharsis - like the monks in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who whack themselves in the head with boards.

On the other hand the Truman/Horne scene is one of my favorites so far.

I don't doubt there are evil presences in the Palmer house - that much seems to be a given. I wonder if Sarah's psychic gifts allow her to ward off possession?

EDIT: Also, there is nothing so far to suggest that Richard isn't Audrey's son. The fact that he didn't come up in conversation when Audrey was talking to her husband means nothing either way in that regard.

Alcoholism kills emotional expression and empathy...she's been numbing out for 25 years...being sober...EVERYTHING is sensed by her...she knows what's coming

Yeah, why not Sarah? Would have been cool to have a female villain, and Zabriskie can be spooky as hell.

She goes out of her way to question the clerk to make sure she saw them when they were delivered. Is reality suddenly changing on a dime in Twin Peaks?
The first thing I thought of was her scene of watching the nature documentary and animals eating each other. What does that mean?
I thought of that, too, when she started eyeing them behind the counter :D .

She watches gruesome nature documentaries, drinks Bloody Marys, and smokes Salems. Is there something freaky going on with Sarah?

David Lynch inserting Gordon Cole as a main character is so comforting....like a surreal Mr. Rogers....i hope he lives to 100 like George Burns

An incredibly disappointing part, saved only by the Sarah Palmer scenes which were great, because she is fantastic. There were other scenes that were alright at best, but none of them went anywhere interesting. What *have* they done to Audrey's character.

Clearly this part is a victim of the extension to 18 hours.

To end on a positive, the one Dougie scene was hilarious.

Re: Dr. Amp, the repeat of the same footage has to be intentional...he's a shock jock...one verse...no chorus...it feels like he's taken the place of INVITATION TO LOVE in this season

I saw the Dougie gag in Private parts. Funnier with a Frisbee.
