In February 1989 in Twin Peaks, Washington, the corpse of homecoming queen Laura Palmer is discovered. Soon after, Laura's classmate Ronette Pulaski is found beaten and in a fugue state, prompting idiosyncratic FBI Agent Dale Cooper to travel to Twin Peaks to assist Sheriff Harry S. Truman in the investigation. Finding a piece of paper under Laura's fingernail bearing the letter "R", Cooper suspects a killer responsible for a similar murder one year earlier may have struck again. Discerning from Laura's diary and her friend Donna Hayward that she was having an affair and was a cocaine addict, Cooper suspects more sinister goings-on than meet the eye. Deputies Andy Brennan and Tommy "Hawk" Hill discover the crime scene: an abandoned railway car containing half a locket and "Fire walk with me" written in blood. Donna realizes that James Hurley, Laura's secret lover, has the other half of the locket and persuades him to bury it. Following an altercation at the Roadhouse, a local bar, Truman arrests James, Laura's boyfriend Bobby Briggs, and Bobby’s friend Mike Nelson.

The technique suggests Leo and Jacoby are suspects. Acerbic FBI forensics specialist Albert Rosenfield arrives in Twin Peaks to perform Laura's autopsy. Josie, suspecting Catherine's ill intentions, discovers she has been keeping two sets of ledgers. To Sarah's distress, her husband Leland's grieving has become increasingly unhinged.

Season 2 (1990–91)

[edit]

The second season originally aired on ABC in the United States between September 30, 1990, and June 10, 1991, consisting of 22 episodes.

Before the season began, a companion book, The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, was published, several entries from which were featured during the season.[17] In February 1991, Bob Iger, president of ABC Entertainment, announced plans to put Twin Peaks on hiatus.[18] In May, Iger said, "it's unlikely that Twin Peaks will return".[19] The series was ultimately cancelled after its second season, leaving it on a cliffhanger ending.[20]

The season continues Cooper's investigation of Laura's murder and explores the elusive "Black Lodge", which may hold the key to the events occurring in Twin Peaks. After receiving clues from a mysterious giant who appears to him in a dream and investigating a second murder, Cooper discovers the identity of Laura's killer. After the FBI suspends Cooper for participating in an unauthorized raid on One Eyed Jacks, his insane former partner, Windom Earle, arrives in Twin Peaks to confront him.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)

[edit]
See also: Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is a prequel to the TV series. It recounts the investigation into the murder of Teresa Banks and the last seven days of Laura Palmer's life. Director David Lynch and most of the television cast returned for the film, with the notable exceptions of Lara Flynn Boyle, who declined to return as Donna Hayward and was replaced by Moira Kelly, and Sherilyn Fenn, due to scheduling conflicts. Kyle MacLachlan returned reluctantly as he wanted to avoid typecasting, so his presence in the film is smaller than originally planned. Lynch shot about five hours of footage, which was cut to 134 minutes to allow the film a mainstream release. Many of the cut scenes were later released as Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces in 2014. The film was a box office bomb and widely panned by critics, but has developed a cult following over time and been critically reevaluated. The release of the third season in 2017, which made many references to the film, led to renewed interest.

In 1988, FBI agent Chester Desmond is sent to Deer Meadow, Washington, to investigate the murder of drifter and teenage prostitute Teresa Banks. FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole has classified the case as a "Blue Rose" case—implying that it is of paranormal nature. While searching the trailer park where Teresa lived, Desmond finds her missing ring and is abducted by an unseen force. After Cole and agent Dale Cooper experience a vision of Phillip Jeffries, an agent who has been missing for several years, Cooper is sent to Deer Meadow to find Desmond to no avail. One year later in Twin Peaks, high school homecoming queen Laura Palmer is haunted by dreams about the Black Lodge. Laura, who has been sexually assaulted by BOB for several years, is horrified to find that the pages describing her assault have been torn out her diary. She discovers that BOB is a malevolent spirit who is possessing her father, Leland Palmer. After an encounter with MIKE, Leland recalls repressed memories of him killing Teresa. Psychologically unhinged, Laura goes to a cabin in the woods for an orgy with Ronette, Jacques and Leo. Leland follows her there and, after attacking Jacques and scaring Leo away, takes Laura and Ronette to an abandoned train car. Leland reveals to Laura that BOB wants to possess her. MIKE throws Teresa's ring from the Black Lodge and Laura puts it on, preventing BOB from possessing her. Enraged, Leland bludgeons Laura to death. The next morning, the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department finds her body, and as Cooper comforts her spirit in the Black Lodge, she sees an angel that had disappeared from her bedroom painting.

Episode titles

[edit]

For the original series, creators David Lynch and Mark Frost assigned no episode titles, only numbers. When the series aired in Germany, titles were assigned, which were then translated to English. The episodes are untitled on the DVD sets, but the titled episodes appear on the official Twin Peaks CBS website and on Paramount+ when streaming the episodes.[51] Episode 3, known as "Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer", is also known as "Zen and the Art of Killer-Catching". When episodes 29 and 30 aired in Germany, they were a single broadcast, with only episode 30 given a title. Fans then decided to title episode 29 "Miss Twin Peaks", which is how the episode is titled both on the CBS website and on Paramount+. When episode 29 was rerun in 1996, it was assigned a different title, "The Night of the Decision".[52][53]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ An extended version of the pilot with an extended and closed ending was originally released as a made-for-television film on VHS in Europe. David Lynch reworked parts of this ending into Episode 2, which became the famous dream sequence.
  2. ^ a b Double-length episode (approximately 90 minutes).
  3. ^ French for "I have a lonely soul".
  4. ^ a b The final two episodes of season two were aired together as one in the original broadcast.
  5. ^ Director David Lynch performed uncredited rewrites, keeping the original script's basic structure but altering much of the dialogue, adding appearances by many of the series' supporting characters, and changing the tone and atmosphere of many scenes, particularly the scenes taking place in the red room (which were altered to more closely resemble the dream sequence in Episode 2, also directed by Lynch).
  6. ^ a b Parts 3 and 4 were made available immediately after the premiere of parts 1 and 2 through Showtime's digital platform.[36]
