Twin Piqued: Part 12 (Let's Rock)

Another week in Twin Peaks and...it sure was a Week there.
Important Moments
- The FBI induct the new Agent into their Inner Order- which previously included Dale, David Bowie and Chris Isaak- and this is totally different from that bit with Cooper in the Second Season.
- We learn that the lady from last Episode survived and fingered Richard for the crime.  Second Truman is also given the key from like 6 Episodes ago.
- Mrs. Palmer freaks the hell out (more on that later).
- Lynch makes 'Uncle Jokes' and wastes LOTS of time with long, silent takes.  Oh and Diane is up to something.
- Dougie Cooper gets a ball thrown at him.
- 1/4 of the Hateful Eight kill that Warden (finally!)
- Yes, Internet, Audrey shows up for the first time!  She's Married to some weird guy, looking for Richard...and that's it.
Theme(s)
The big Theme here is Father Issues...
- Ben Horne discusses his.
- The whole focus on looking for Richard, even if his Dad (maybe) doesn't seem to care that much.
- That guy acting like a 'Dad' to the other guy in the Trailer Park.  He just cares about you!
Weird Moment(s)
The Runner Up- the crazy Horne Brother running out of the Woods.  Insert Monty Python Joke Here.

The Winner is obviously Mrs. Palmer's sudden, random freak-out.  I mean, what else could win?
...um, alright.  There was a whole lot of things happening...but also nothing happening.  Very little Plot really happened here.  So much random nonsense happened.  What did most of this bring us?  Truman got a key, Random Character #54 was killed, the FBI talked mostly nonsense and Audrey showed up.  That's mostly it.  Sure, other *things* happened, but how important were they?  Lynch sometimes makes it hard to want to stick with him.  The fact that we had no BOB Cooper and that random cut to Dougie Coopers says something about how he seems to be trolling us now.  He's got 6 Episodes to wrap this up.  He had 7, but...well, now he has six.  Why is there filler at this stage?  I'm with them.
Next time, will things pick up in a good way?  Will we have Plot momentum that feels impactful?  See you then...
