The latest episode of Twin Peaks is most remarkable for its numerous arrivals and departures.
The episode’s frequent matched pairs and expository repetitions seem to draw attention to themselves.
The episode uses David Lynch’s abiding preoccupation with mirror imagery as an often subtle structural device.
We might expect it to end on the performance, as each episode has until now, but Lynch throws us a curveball.
The episode’s emotional epicenter is Bobby Briggs, now white-haired and working as a deputy for the department.
Parts of the episode play like one of David Lynch’s hermetically sealed surrealist short films.
