Analysis: This episode manages to relate different characters and events from Buckhorn, Las Vegas, New York City and Twin Peaks and slowly prepares for this season's final showdown. Some questions are answered but others emerge. It seems obvious to me that Dale Cooper's evil doppelgänger has manipulated, still manipulates and will continue to manipulate people across the country to eliminate Douglas Jones or the real Dale Cooper. It also seems obvious that the villain Richard Horne must be Audrey Horne's son. This isn't precisely stated but he calls Silvia Horne his grandmother and must therefor be Johnny or Audrey's child and since Johnny is severely mentally disabled and he doesn't react to him when he sees him, it seems more probable that he is Audrey's son. Since his behavior is so mean, I think it's probable that Dale Cooper's evil doppelgänger could be his father and that he may have raped Audrey Horne when she was at the hospital after the explosion of the bank witnessed at the end of the second season. Concerning Diane Evans, she seems to be quite manipulative. It's hard to believe that her fear regarding Evil Cooper's doppelgänger was only faked but maybe he has information to pressure her and make her collaborate with him because of something that has happened in the past. Maybe he had made Diane Evans break the law in the past and now uses that undiscovered crime to increase her dependency upon him.

Description: After a transitional ninth episode that had too many lengths, this tenth episode quickens up the pace. This episode starts with one of the third season's most brutal scenes and develops Richard Horne and Chad Broxford as intense main villains in Twin Peaks. Meanwhile, the Mitchum Brothers as well as Duncan Todd and his associates are developed as manipulative villains in Las Vegas. A few more light-hearted scenes such as Albert Rosenfield's date with Constance Talbot as well as the hilarious sex scene between Douglas Jones and Janey-E Jones make this Episode even more diversified, fluid and gripping. This episode also includes two minor twists when the FBI realizes Diane Evans seems to collaborate with Dale Cooper's evil doppelgänger and that this same doppelgänger seems to be connected to the brutal penthouse murders in New York City. Overall, there are a lot of things going on in just forty-six minutes. This episode is only fifty-three minutes long and the last six minutes are dedicated to a new band performance at the Roadhouse and the credits.

Favorite scene: There were many great scenes but my favorite one was Richard Horne's conflict with a helpless Silvia Horne in front of a desperate Johnny Horne. This scene was intense and represented a new negative peak for this gripping family who even uses and abuses his own family members.

This week's episode was quite an unsettling one. There were a lot of important scenes packed into a short episode, making the episode fly by. Most of this episode centered around the new generation of characters.

We can finally confirm that Richard is indeed a member of the Horne family and most likely Audrey's son. My theory is that the father is Evil Cooper the doppelganger, which explains Richard's brutality and monster-like qualities, half of him comes from the Black Lodge. The initial trailer scene is beautifully shot and very tragic. Sometimes our ears are more powerful mediums than our eyes.

The tragic trailer scenes continue as we follow Shelly's daughter and her drug addict boyfriend for the first time in a few episodes. Their relationship seems less than healthy. At least we got to see a nice scene from Harry Dean Stanton.

But most definitely the most uncomfortable scene to watch was Richard's confrontation with his grandmother. That was difficult to sit through as I squirmed on the couch. I do think it was necessary however as it really cements Richard as an antagonist of pure evil. All the actors played their part wonderfully, even Johnny who didn't have much to do.

As we hit the back end of the season, all these plot threads that seemed to have no connection are all starting to converge more and more. Tom Sizemore's character working with Duncan Todd, Richard Horne working with Chad, etc. It's only a matter of time before we all head home to Twin Peaks.

It was ok, but this episode opted to slow things right down. It has started linking separate plot threads, but they were mostly minor arcs, at least for now. There is also the occasional scene featuring characters like Jerry and Dr. Jacoby, neither of whom I care about in the slightest. They're slowing the show down and delaying what could've been more progress in the central plot. There was no Bob Cooper this episode, and instead we got a lot of Richard Horne, who is frankly just uninteresting. That being said, this episode did have a lot of funny moments, classic Peaks humour. We did also get a bit of plot progression, in the way of Laura Palmer seemingly being instrumental in this. Even Gordon had a vision of her. The recognition of Dougie to someone who recognises him is also imminent

Low 7

This episode had all the elements of the new Twin Peaks: bizarre comedy, intense drama and a lot of violence.

The big problem is that it did not really excel in any particular area. The attack scenes were over the top just because this is Showtime, not because it added anything to the broadcast.

The Dougie comedy was a little lacking too. And the whole thing with Candy, the fly and then her overreaction was really bad television

So, overall it was just an average episode for me.

The episode was alright. We saw that the mens in charge of the casino are going to be really mean to Dougie because of insurance stuff and that will cause his problems. We saw Dougie in a great shape and love how he had sex with his wife. Naughty woman. We have also that drug dealer who are going to kill someone and hurt another people for money. The David lynch character is seeking the other Cooper who was in prison and Diane is under suspicion. Was pretty interesting even if its still slow paced and take time to tell us the whole story. We are wondering what will happen to Dougie and how it will escape of that situation. How the policemens will catch the other Cooper? Its more focusing on the story and thats a good thing. We see some suspicions and some events that make us pretty interested about the story and i hope they will continue like this. Its getting interesting. Sound good for now. Need to see more.
