"As above, so below. The human being finds himself, or herself, in the middle. There is as
much space outside the human, proportionately, as inside.
"Stars, moons, and planets remind us of protons, neutrons, and
electrons. Is there a bigger being walking with all the stars
within? Does our thinking affect what goes on outside us, and
what goes on inside us? I think it does.
"Where does creamed corn figure into the workings of the universe?
What really *is* creamed corn? Is it a symbol for something else?"
- The Owls are not what they seem.
- The Log is in communication with whoever sent the message to Cooper.
- The Giant has left Cooper another clue.
- Leyland Palmer is still acting erratically, causing a problem with the Icelandic Investors.
- Albert is one of the happy generation.
- Laura worked at One Eyed Jack's, but Laura was still using drugs and she was thrown out.
- Blackie and Battis have seen through Audrey's disguise.
- Ben Horne owns One Eyed Jack's.
- Who killed Laura Palmer? (See "Lonely Souls").
- What is the reason for Leyland Palmer's strange behavior?
- What has happenned to drive Windom Earle insane? Why is his escape such a threat to Cooper?
- Why did Major Briggs' telescope recieve the message? What significance does this message have?
- What will happen to Audrey now that she has been uncovered by Blackie and Battis?
- Who killed Laura Palmer?
All the evidence still points to Leo Johnson, with the involvement of Jaques Renault. The
girls apparently went willingly to Jaques' cabin, and were taken away afterwards by Leo. It
also seems likely that Ben Horne slept with Laura: he always takes an interest in the "new
girls".
- The Owls are not what they seem.
What does this signify? "BOB"'s face was seen with an owl superimposed on top, and owls have
always been present, observing key events. Does this imply that "BOB" was /is an owl? What
would this mean: an "owl" as they appear to us, or a person with an owl's predetory
characteristics?
- The messages from the Log seem to imply a complete understanding of what is going on. The
Log Lady, in her descripion of the night Laura died, used the expression the owls were
flying. Does this mean that the "owls" (i.e. "BOB" (?) were active that night? If "BOB"
is a "spirit", inhabiting different bodies, does that mean that "BOB" was changing hosts?
Or even taking control of his host?
