While I have loved the revival of Twin Peaks so far, the lack of plot progression has gotten a bit frustrating. This episode, however, is the fastest moving episode so far this season. It also answered many of the fan theories that have been brought up since the season began. The first fan theory to be revealed is that the paper Hawk found in the stalls were indeed the missing pages of Laura Palmer's diary. However, one of the pages is still missing. The next of these fan theories was that the decapitated corpse from Episode One was indeed Major Briggs. However, he hasn't aged over the past 25 years, strangely.
Also, we saw another major step towards Dougie becoming Agent Cooper again. You may remember Ike "The Spike" from last week's episode. Well, he tried to shoot Coop, only to have Coop karate chop him in the throat, and rip his hand off the gun. The doppelgänger of The Arm appeared, telling Coop to "rip off his hand".
We also saw some Diane development, after she was briefly introduced last episode. She proceeded to cuss out all of the characters she met, eventually asking Tammy what her name was, and then telling her: "F**k you, Tammy". She spoke to Evil Coop, and told Agent Gordon that that was not the Cooper she knew.
We then saw Evil Coop threaten to mail more of his dead dog's legs to the warden if he did not let him go. He did, and this whole scene proved that Evil Coop is equally as evil as Bob was in the original show.
Overall, this episode provided a lot of needed context, and helped the plot move along quite a bit.
+Needed Context +Fastest Paced Episode Yet +Great Visuals +Great Return for Dr. Hayward +Mention of Harry Truman +Great Acting
10/10
