It’s as though as a viewer you can be sucked into the story that you know is going to unfold and fail to see the story that is right before your eyes, much like in a dream where you “know” that you are in a certain location, like a house in which you used to live, when in fact the visuals that surround you bear no resemblance to this place, as it’s not a place but a feeling that defines the dream. It does this through various scenes that happen in between the main events, such as the exchange between Pete and Catherine that manages to tell the story of their lives in just a few sentences, or that between Hank and Norma at the Double R, where one is really tempted to believe for a second that Hank truly wants to be good (even though for most of the course of Episode 7 he is extorting people, arranging murders, and even pulling the trigger himself).īut there is also so much going on that it is easy to lose sight of certain questions, even if-or perhaps particularly if-you have seen Twin Peaks a number of times and know where things are going. The hour is so overstuffed with events as to be ridiculous, and of course Albert will later make a quip about precisely this-“What happens in Season 2?”-but the feat that Twin Peaks manages to pull off somehow is to nonetheless make it all feel real and lived-in.

Indeed, Episode 7 is an overblown season finale full of cliffhangers: Jacoby is attacked by an unknown man in Easter Park Shelly is tied up in the Mill that later bursts into flames, and we don’t know if either she or Catherine (who arrives later) manages to escape (or if Pete will be OK, he charges into the burning building to look for his wife) Nadine has attempted suicide Bobby has impersonated Leo in order to frame James for cocaine possession Lucy tells Andy she is pregnant, which causes dissension for reasons unknown Audrey gasps as Ben Horne enters her room at One-Eyed Jacks Leo is shot (as previously mentioned) Hank threatens to expose Josie Andy shoots Jacques, who Leland later kills in the hospital and the hour ends with Dale Cooper opening the door to his room at the Great Northern to be shot multiple times.
