Featured reviews
Most of the episode follows Cooper, Truman, Hawk, and Dr. Hayward through the woods as they search for Jacques Renault's cabin. On the way, they stop off at the Log Lady's cabin. She's always been a fascinating character despite her relatively small amount of screen time (Log Lady intros notwithstanding), and this is perhaps her most substantial scene in the whole series.
Another fantastic scene in this episode is the one between Bobby and Dr. Jacoby. It is dark, powerful, and crucial to the development of Bobby as a character. The party at the end provides one of the best Leland crying scenes (believe me, there are a LOT of those). I really only have one problem with the episode, and that's the last scene. After watching through the series multiple times, I still don't know what to make of it. It just seems so painfully out of character for Audrey.
Did you know
- TriviaAudrey is crying at one point for no clear reason. A deleted scene revealed that Audrey had been reminded of a time when she pushed her brother Johnny down a staircase, possibly causing his current condition.
- GoofsAt the party at the Great Northern for the Icelandic investors, Ben Horne calls his brother over and orders him to remove Leland Palmer when he begins dancing. When the camera cuts back to Leland, after the Horne brothers talk, Ben can be seen calling his brother over again and having the same conversation again.
- Quotes
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Bobby, were you very sad when Laura died?
Bobby Briggs: Laura wanted to die.
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: How do you know that?
Bobby Briggs: Because she told me.
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: What else did she tell you? Did she tell you that there was no goodness in the world?
Bobby Briggs: She said that people tried to be good. But they were really sick and rotten on the inside, her most of all. And every time she tried to make the world a better place, something terrible came up inside her and pulled her back down into hell, and took her deeper and deeper into the blackest nightmare. Each time it got harder to go back up to the light.
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: Did you sometimes get the feeling that Laura was harboring some awful and terrible secret?
Bobby Briggs: Yeah.
Dr. Lawrence Jacoby: A secret bad enough that she wanted to die because of it? Bad enough that it drove her to consciously find peoples weaknesses and prey on them, tempt them, break them down? Make them do terrible, degrading things? Laura wanted to corrupt people because that's how she felt about herself. Is that what happened to you? Is that what Laura did to you?
Bobby Briggs: [on the verge of tears] She wanted so much. She made me sell drugs so she could have them.
