Before she can learn anything, though, Harold re-enters with the orchid. While he’s out of the room, she spies a piece of paper sticking out of his bookshelf and moves to investigate. Of course she will, and he steps away to prepare it. He wonders if Donna might do him the favor of taking one of the flowers to lay at Laura’s grave. His apartment is unusually warm because he grows a ton of orchids inside. Harold is a surprise – not the old shut-in Donna was expecting but a younger, handsome man – and furthermore reveals he knows who exactly Donna is, Laura had wanted him to get in touch if anything ever happened to her. Tremond who might know something about Laura. They take this odd news as well as anyone would.ĭonna meets with Harold Smith, the agoraphobe on Laura’s Meals on Wheels route and the man she was told by the mysterious Mrs. He tells Albert and Truman about his visit by the Giant and the three things he told Coop. Since the letters were never made public, Coop knows this can only be the work of the one true killer. Truman doesn’t understand how any of this is possible as there’s been a guard on the room 24 hours a day, but the proof can’t be denied. She has to be restrained and sedated, and only then is it determined by Albert that her IV has been tainted by someone, someone who, Coop discovers, also slipped a small typed letter under her fingernail, the same sort as was found on the bodies of Laura and Teresa Banks, which indicates this attack was meant to be fatal.

Kittens all, they drive men to despair. Let us consider these three, in particular: And they’re just jampacked with secrets.” ”They’re dreamy,” says David Lynch, himself a dreamer who, with Mark Frost, codreamed Twin Peaks, in addition to dreaming his own films Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart.”These girls are authentically dreamy. As such, television has never known women like Twin Peaks women, full of wiles and ellipses and desperation. The women smell of it, even the ones who are supposed to be virgins. The cherry pies taste of it, rapturously so. ![]() Truman put it in one episode, ”There’s a sort of evil out there, strange in the woods – a darkness, a presence.” He means sex. We never see it – plain old fornication, that is – but we know it’s there, everywhere, lurking. Like cream in coffee, sex beclouds Twin Peaks. (There are no children, just teenagers.) Twin Peaks is dark Mayberry: If Thelma Lou had sex with Goober behind Barney Fife’s back – that is Twin Peaks.

Laura Palmer is dead, and we are sick of her, anyway. None of these three women is Laura Palmer, homecoming queen, corpse. Which is to say, there are other twin peaks on the series, but together these three account for exactly six of those peaks.
