Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 4: "Brings Back Some Memories"

Dougie Dale keeps winning jackpots!!!! He's mister jackpots!!! A guy called Bill Shaker who seems to know Dougie tells him where he lives, and Dougie seems about to leave, when he is threateningly given his winnings and a limo ride home by the casino staff. He meets his wife, Janey-E, played by the illustrious Naomi Watts, who is so mad at him for disappearing for 3 days and also understandably freaks out that he has a mountain of cash. 

The next morning he gets a message from MIKE, oh my god this is gonna do it he's gonna get his memory back!!! – oh wait nevermind he has to pee. He has breakfast and coffee – oh my god, coffee! This is gonna do it, it's gonna bring him back!! Oh, nevermind, he just does a funny face. Oh well!

Meanwhile: Gordon Cole meets with TS Legend Denise Duchovny, who is now the chief of staff of the entire federal bureau of investigation. She questions him about his intentions in working with the beautiful young Tammy, saying she “knows his profile”, but Cole deflects using the Trans Rights Gambit. Then he goes to talk to Mr C in prison, who is what that phone call last episode  was about, and who tries really hard to seem normal and fails. Afterwards, Cole and Albert are skeezy about Tammy and Albert tells Cole that years ago Philip Jeffries asked the identity of “their guy in Columbia” on behalf of Me C, and then that guy was killed.

In Twin Peaks, we meet a bunch of people: the new Sheriff Truman! And Bobby who's a nice boy cop now and he cries remembering Laura Palmer and it's genuinely really affecting! And Chad, who is NOT a nice cop! And Lucy and Andy's son, Michael Cera doing an insane Marlon Brando impression! Also, we learn that maybe Mr C killed Garland Briggs, and that Lucy, god bless her, just cannot understand cell phones.
