Twin Peaks S2E20: The Path to the Black Lodge

Windom Earle is playing OFF THE BOARD! Which mostly means he’s abandoned his whole chess-murder-revenge-on-Dale thing – which the show retcons as having been just a ruse the whole time – to focus on his true passion, Getting Into The Black Lodge. To that end, he dresses up as a horse with Leo to kidnap Garland Briggs and gets really good at Photoshop. Coop continues to just... have meetings about how Windom Earle is messed up, and keeps romancing Annie, wilfully oblivious to all the clues that he’s getting Spiritually Doomed. And speaking of: the spirits are back! They're making everyone's hand shake and spooky_drone.mp3 play!

Meanwhile: Audrey and Jack have a tearful, sexy farewell. Donna keeps finding “Is Ben My Dad” clues without it really going anywhere. Thomas Eckhardt opens Catherine's box; inside he finds another box, and inside THAT box... some sort of ingot? And the Miss Twin Peaks contest is happening real soon, for real you guys, we promise!
