"I carry a log--yes. Is it funny to you? It is not to me. Behind all
things are reasons. Reasons can even explain the absurd. Do we have
tbe time to learn the reasons behind the human being's varied behavior?
I think not. Some take the time. Are they called detectives?
"Watch--and see what life teaches."
- Catherine Martell and Benjamin Horne are plotting together to take over the Saw Mill.
- Big Ed was drugged at the Roadhouse.
- Mike and Bobby have sworn revenge on James Hurley.
- Who killed Laura Palmer? (See "Lonely Souls").
- How long have Benjamin and Catherine been plotting together? Does Josie suspect? What
action are they planning to take?

This episode does not really yield any new clues as to who did kill Laura Palmer, but
Leo Johnson, Bobby Briggs and James Hurley are still the most probable
candidates.
