Season 1, Episode 4

Synopsis

At the Palmer’s, Andy makes a police sketch of the person Sarah saw in her vision: “BOB.” She also recalls the gloved hand digging up Laura’s necklace. Donna buried the necklace with James, but says nothing. She wonders how Sarah knows about the necklace being buried to begin with.

Cooper questions Dr. Jacoby, who is wearing red and blue eyeglasses. Cooper asks him if Laura was using cocaine or having sexual problems. Jacoby mentions the doctor / patient relationship, and that he’s into Hawaii and ginger. He does offer that he followed a man in a red Corvette the night after Laura died. Cooper knows Leo Johnson owns such a car.

Cooper receives a phone call from his supervisor, Gordon Cole. He says the scratch marks on Laura’s shoulders were made by a bird. Cole mentions that Albert is angry about the confrontation Harry. Cooper sticks up for Harry.

Andy shows Cooper the police sketch of BOB, who Cooper recognizes as the man from his dream. Hawk then calls to say he found the one-armed man.

Josie is in a car taking a picture of the Timber Falls motel, where Catherine and Ben are having a clandestine meeting. Catherine says the second ledger spells “bankruptcy” and it’s hidden. She reiterates wanting to set fire to the mill. Ben accidentally drops a token from One Eyed Jacks on the carpet. Catherine picks it up.

Harry, Andy, Hawk, and Cooper arrive at the same motel: the one-armed man is there. As the four of them sneak up to the hotel. Andy drops his gun, firing it accidentally. They break in to find Mike, the one armed man. Cooper asks if he knows BOB. Mike mentions a veternarian. Cooper asks if Mike’s missing arm had a tattoo on it. Mike says it said “Mom” on it. Basically, none of this lines up with Cooper’s dream.

In a high school bathroom. Audrey jokes with Donna about falling in love with Cooper. Audrey wants to impress him by helping find Laura’s killer, and she wants Donna’s help. Audrey itemizes what she knows: Laura was Dr. Jacoby’s patient, she worked at One Eyed Jacks, and both her and Ronette worked at the perfume counter of Horne’s department store. Donna says she’ll help but whatever they learn will be a secret between them.

Norma nervously goes to the jail to help Hank at a parole hearing. She tells the parole board that she’ll give him a job. Later, she is told that Hank has made parole. Norma isn’t overjoyed to hear this.

Harry, Cooper, and Andy visit a vet office next to a gas station and convenience store. The receptionist says the police sketch of BOB is definitely not the vet, Bob Lydecker. But Cooper says the bird that attacked Laura is a client of that vet office. The police confiscate boxes of patient files.

Shelly is making out with Bobby - Leo is with Jacques. Bobby mentions that Leo and Jacques were running drugs across the border, and he thinks they were giving them to Laura. Shelly shows Bobby Leo’s bloody shirt. Bobby says the shirt could be the answer to their prayers. He takes the shirt and tells Shelly to say she never saw it. Shelly then shows Bobby a gun she has hidden.

Back at the police office, Lucy is avoiding Andy for some reason. Cooper takes the deputies down to the pistol range, where he asks Andy what’s wrong between him and Lucy. Andy says he has no idea. Harry asks Cooper if he was ever married. He says once knew someone that taught him the pain of a broken heart.

At the RR diner, James sees Maddie for the first time, and is mesmerized.

Audrey asks her father if he’s ashamed of her, and says she wants to learn the family business. Ben is reluctant at first, but agrees to let her work at the department store, specifically the cosmetics counter.

Cooper and the deputies are looking through the vet files for birds. Andy finds a file for a myna bird named Waldo, owned by Jacques Renault. The results from Laura’s autopsy have revealed the piece of plastic in her stomach had the letter “J” on it - and was a piece of a poker chip saying “One Eyed Jacks.” Inspired, Cooper decides to talk to Jacques.

They run up a hill to an apartment complex. Bobby climbs out the window and runs off. Inside, Cooper finds Leo’s shirt covered in blood - that Bobby just planted there.

Ben meets Leo down by the river. Leo says he’s out ten grand, and points to Bernard’s corpse lying on the ground, covered in a bag. He also mentions that Jacques is back in Canada. Ben tells Leo to burn down the mill as agreed.

Donna and James return to the woods, and dig up the place where they buried Laura’s locket. There is nothing there. James worries that someone saw them bury the locket, and wonders if they should talk to the police. An owl hoots from a tree. Donna says they should help find Laura’s killer.

Josie picks up the phone. Harry says they got a break in Laura’s case, and asks Josie if she was at the Timber Falls motel earlier that day. She is evasive. After Harry leaves, Josie opens a letter to find a drawing of a domino. She then gets a phone call from Hank, who asks if she got his letter. Josie is scared.

Thoughts

Cooper is following the clues of his dream, which seem to point to Jacques Renault and Leo Johnson. He’s also learned that Mike, the one-armed man is real, but hasn’t located BOB.

Shelly and Bobby plan to do Leo in, with her getting a gun and Bobby trying to frame him with the bloody shirt. We also learn that Ben Horne is in cahoots with Leo, whom he asks to burn down the Packard saw mill.

Donna, Audrey, and James decide to start their own searches for Laura’s killer.

Lastly, Norma’s husband Hank gets out of jail. He has an unclear connection to Josie.
