It's finally time to pay off Laura's secret diary from Fire Walk With Me about how the good Dale is in the Lodge!!! It's what Hawk found in that bathroom stall door!!! There's also a really sad one about Laura realizing BOB is Leland. Hawk and Truman go “damn that's crazy I guess Leland hid it”, then Truman calls the original Harry Truman but doesn't press the point because he has cancer or something. Then he uses Skype™ to call Doc Hayward to ask him about the Coop that came out of the Lodge. Hayward says he was acting really weird and might have “checked in on” comatose Audrey Horne.
Cynthia Knox, that FBI agent who was sent to check out Garland Briggs’ prints, is like what da hell there’s actually a body??? And he’s got no head and seems to have not aged??? Also one of those weird soot-blasted guys shows up and is REALLY spooky.
Albert and Gordon talk to Diane!!! She tells them to fuck off but then does come to South Dakota to talk to Mr C. They have a very upsetting exchange with disturbing insinuations about the last time they saw each other, and she tells Gordon that Mr C is definitely not the real Dale Cooper.
Afterwards, Mr C cashes in his Strawberry Blackmail for a get out of jail free card, and rides off with his henchman Ray. By the way, we remember from back in part 2 that Ray is scheming against Mr C, but that Mr C knows this.
AND THAT’S NOT ALL! Dougie gets grilled by some Brother Cops about his exploding car. Janey-E tells them off because she’s had a very long day. But it’s about to get longer! Ike the Spike attacks!!! But Dougie fends him off with his Black Lodge Chop and Hand Squeeze! We then get a crazy street interview sequence about Dougie’s Moves.
Meanwhile: Jerry Horne got too high!! In the woods!!! Andy tries to solve the mystery of the truck Richard Horne hit that kid with, but the guy he's talking to is really scared and then no-shows their meeting. Ben Horne and his secretary Beverly hear a Weird Sound in the Great Northern, and go “huh! weird!” at getting Dale’s old room key that Jade sent in the mail. Ben pointedly does Not make a move on her, and Beverly has a fraught relationship with her sick husband. Jean-Michel Renault watches a guy sweep at the roadhouse and is still a piece of shit about underage girls. And at the RR, a guy called Bing is looking for a guy called Billy.
