Twin Peaks: Realization Time

February 18th, 2008

Season 1, Episode 6

After finding Audrey in his bed, Cooper turns her down gently, saying since he swore to certain values as an FBI agent, he can’t become romantically involved with her.

The next morning, Harry and Doc Hayward try to get Waldo the bird to talk, as he was witness to Laura’s last night alive. Cooper places a voice-activated tape recorder near Waldo’s cage. Cooper says he and the Bookhouse Boys should visit One Eyed Jacks and question Jacques Renoir, who works there as a card dealer.

Watching from a distance through binoculars, Leo watches Bobby visit Shelly. His arm is bleeding - Shelly didn’t kill him. He plans to shoot Bobby with a shotgun. Inside the house, Shelly is hysterical, and scared that Leo will murder her. Bobby says he’ll take care of everything. Meanwhile, Leo hears on a police radio that Waldo is in police custody. He decides that’s more important to take care of, gets in his truck, and drives off.

Donna, James, and Maddie listen to the tape that Maddie found in Laura’s bedroom. On it, Laura talks to Dr. Jacoby about dreams and secrets, and wonders why it’s so easy to make men like her. After listening to the tape, the realize a tape from the night of Laura’s murder is missing. They decide Dr. Jacoby must have that tape, and devise a plan to retrieve it.

At Horne’s perfume counter, Audrey sees her boss Emory call another counter girl to his office. Audrey sneaks in and hides in a closet. Emory gives the girl a small glass unicorn, and offers her a job at One Eyed Jacks. He gives her a card with a phone number to call if she’s interested. Back at the counter, Audrey gets the phone number from the girl, pretending that she’s already been asked to work at One Eyed Jacks and lost her card.

Harry (again) asks Josie what she was doing outside the motel. She says she followed Ben and Catherine to take photographs of their meeting, and prove to Harry that they’re up to something. Harry vows to protect her.

As Harry, Ed, and Cooper get dressed for their trip to One Eyed Jacks, Harry mentions Josie’s fear of Ben and Catherine. Cooper says he’ll look into it.

A life insurance agent visits Catherine to have her to sign a new policy. She scans the documents and realizes the beneficiary is Josie - which is totally inappropriate. Catherine doesn’t sign and sends the agent away. She opens up the desk to discover that someone has stolen the second ledger.

Audrey slips a note under Cooper’s door.

Meanwhile, Waldo begins talking. Laura? A shot rings out. Leo has killed Waldo through a window. He drives off, undetected. Blood spattered on a row of donuts, Cooper rewinds the tape recorder and plays it back.

Waldo mimics Laura’s voice on the night of her murder: Birdie, Birdie, Birdie. Hello Waldo. Don’t go there. Hurting me. Stop it. Leo, no.

At One Eyed Jacks, Blackie greets the Bookhouse Boys, and invites them to gamble as scantily clad hostesses mill about. Cooper whispers over a microphone to Hawk, waiting in a van monitoring the proceedings.

Leland overhears Maddie sneaking out of the Palmer’s house. James meets her at a gazebo. Wearing a blond wig, she looks very much like her cousin Laura. Donna arrives with a video camera.

Ben and Jerry hope to get the Icelanders to sign the Ghostwood contract at One Eyed Jacks. Ben calls Josie to tell her that Catherine has to be at the mill. Hank was with Josie, and he quickly departs for some ill purpose.

Audrey arrives at One Eyed Jacks, hoping to work there. To prove her qualifications, she ties the stem of a cherry into a knot using only her tongue. Blackie is duly impressed.

Jacoby is watching Invitation to Love when his phone rings. It’s Maddie pretending to be Laura. He’s understandably skeptical. Maddie instructs him to check his door, where he finds a video tape. On it, Jacoby sees Maddie dressed as Laura, holding a newspaper showing today’s date. Over the phone, Maddie tells Jacoby to meet her at a particular location.

Jacoby recognizes the gazebo in the background of the video, and decides to drive to that location instead. Once Jacoby has left his office, Donna and James sneak in to find that last cassette tape.

Bobby, sneaking about, watches James and Donna enter the building. He puts a plastic bag of cocaine in a compartment on James’ motorcycle.

Maddie waits for Dr. Jacoby in the dark night. Meanwhile, someone watches her from behind some bushes.
