Twin Peaks S2E21: Miss Twin Peaks

Leo frees Garland Briggs from the clutches of Windom Earle so that he can “save Shelly”. As a punishment, Windom puts Leo in “the spider contraption”. Garland wanders his way to giving Dale some cryptic clues. Dale, who by the way had sex, finally goes oh my god I need to go to the Miss Twin Peaks pageant, having seemingly really just entirely ignored the more obvious clue the Giant gave him last episode. And what do you know, Annie wins the pageant and is immediately kidnapped by Windom Earle, in a sequence where the show gives us its best and its worst, serving really cool strobe light effects and really bad transmisogyny.

Speaking of the pageant, most of our B-plots happen there too: Donna confronts Ben and he doesn't say he's her dad, but she does, so make of that what you will. Lucy chooses Andy as her baby daddy, but he's gotta find Dale to tell him his Petroglyph Discovery. Audrey is strong-armed by Beninto giving a Tree Speech, and Lana does a Racist Dance. 

As for non-pageant B-plots: Andrew finally shoots open the final ingot puzzle box, revealing…a key!!!! Nadine gives an epic Powerpoint about how good she is at wrestling, but is jealous about Ed and Norma getting married.
