Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 1: "My Log Has a Message for You"

Oh boy! It’s been 25 years! Twin Peaks is back! I can’t WAIT to find out what is going on with my favorite boy Dale Cooper! Oh boy he’s on screen talking to the giant! Oh, but – what’s that? He is “far away”? Oh! Okay! See you!

Anyway! A guy called Sam is being paid to watch a mysterious glass box, and thinks it’s probably fine if him and his girlfriend Tracey have sex on the job – OH NO NO IT’S NOT THEY’RE GETTING KILLED BY A GHASTLY FIGURE! EEK! 

Oh my god it’s EVIL DALE COOPER, or as people seem to call him, Mr. C! What dastardly plans has HE been getting up to?? We don’t know yet. He drives a car epic style, administers violence, and picks up two henchpeople. 

Anyway! A lady called Ruth Davenport is found dead in Buckhorn, South Dakota. Or rather, her head is found, laid on top of a Mysterious Unknown Body. Fingerprints of the local principal, Bill Hastings, played by the illustrious Matthew Lillard, are found all over the apartment, so Bill is brought in for questioning and seems really scared and confused about it all.

Now you might be asking : hey what about “Twin Peaks”? Well have no fear: Dr Jacoby gets a bunch of shovels! Jerry Horne has a Legal Weed business and is like come on Ben Horne you’re fuckin your secretary right??? And Ben is like No, I Respect Women Now. Lucy tells an insurance guy there are TWO Sheriff Trumans! Also she has a kid with Andy! And Hawk gets a Mysterious Log Message from the log lady that just might kick off another round of Supernatural Investigation !!!!!!
