FIRE WALK WITH JERKY ~ EP. 4: THE ONE-ARMED MAN


We begin with a shot of the Palmer house, a beautiful, shrubby slice of Americana if ever there was one. In the living room, we see that Deputy Andy is displaying a previously undisclosed skill: forensic artistry. He is helping Sarah to visualize her psychic vision of Bob. 


For a brief, disturbing moment, Bob and Laura share screen time, both in the form of reasonable facsimiles (school yearbook photo, police sketch).


Sheriff Truman obviously finds Maddy’s resemblance to Laura to be disturbing, as do so many other Twin Peaks residents.


For her part, Maddy seems, as with all things, somewhat oblivious.


Leland seems more together than usual, at least enough to be snide and condescending about Sarah’s visions about the necklace.  We already know her vision of a stranger retrieving Laura’s half-locket from a hole in the ground is accurate, which means that, as far as Twin Peaks reality goes, Sarah has some pretty substantial psychic powers.


Donna, having been present for the hiding of said locket, must realize that this is true.


A return to the soap opera Invitation to Love…


It begins with a necklace, carrying over from Sarah describing her vision...


...and continues with an obviously satirical take on the usual sort of soap opera business.
