There's admittedly little to no plot structure to Twin Peaks, sometimes that ends up benefiting with surprising results, other times it feels like the show is just showing us scenes to take up screen time. This episode was disappointingly more of the ladder. The one thing that should be taken away from this episode is probably just how disgustingly brutal Richard Horne is to people. God knows how a sweet woman like Audrey had a child that fell so far from the tree. Speaking of which, we still haven't seen her. For those who love a good fan theory, I definitely believe the theory that Richard is the offspring of Audrey and the evil Cooper who's been walking around the earth as an imposter for 25 years. It's rare that Peaks would ever appease the fans in such a way, but isn't it a hard theory to deny? Perhaps the thing more threatening is the fact that Richard has an 'in' at the sheriff's department with that one officer. This can only mean bad things. Overall, this episode was hostile and difficult to watch. No female character got through a scene without being either physically or emotionally hurt by a man, which probably isn't by coincidence. Dougie is still Dougie though, which means I'm still annoyed.
