My friend Larry Clarke had some great screentime in this episode! The shared-laughter about the tail-light between the detectives. Who the hell ARE these guys? The way they all answered in unison when the deputy came in saying, “Detectives?”
Also: Sky Ferreira showed up in the final scene, the girl who can’t stop scratching her armpit. Haunting. I fell in love with Sky Ferreira’s album Night Time My Time, with the album cover considered too ugly by the record company – they balked at it – but she won the battle, thank goodness.
I love her.
I have no idea what is going on with her character but it seems to be that the youth of Twin Peaks continue to be into some heavily dark shit. Not much has changed. All of the kids have that haunted terrified fake-blase look. They speak in code. There’s something going on nobody dares to address, but everybody knows the score.
WHERE IS AUDREY. I YEARN FOR AUDREY.
I think my favorite moment might have been when Diane and Albert stared at one another for what felt like 20 minutes on the steps of the morgue, as she smoked her cigarette. And he KEPT looking at her face, back to the cig, back to her face, back to the cig … It was endless! Fabulous!
Matthew Lilard is giving an Oscar-worthy performance. When he sobbed, “I WANT TO GO SCUBA DIVING” I started laughing. Not at his pain but because I was exhilarated at his performance, at how far into that moment he went, how IN it he was. Totally absurd, totally real.
Just some random initial thoughts.
//WHERE IS AUDREY. I YEARN FOR AUDREY.//
RIGHT?! The bit with Johnny felt like a taunt. Like, “We know you want Audrey. Here’s her brother, but we’re not giving you her!”
Was it just me, or did it seem like there was maybe a little spark between Albert and Constance?
Also? “What happens in season 2?” might be my favorite line in the entire series so far.

I felt it! I LOVED it. I have loved Constance from the jump – I love that she recognizes the absurdity in this particular death, and her sense of humor is irrepressible – even with a headless corpse right there! I love her! I’m sure she’s probably misunderstood a lot of the time – people thinking her humor isn’t “appropriate” – but Albert totally got it.
One of the many small details I love. Plus, yes, that Season 2 comment. Hilarious!
Here’s Keith’s re-cap! https://mubi.com/notebook/posts/twin-peaks-episode-9-recap-whatever-em-this-em-is
I haven’t watched up to this episode, but I love Sky too. I know she also has a role and song in Baby Driver ( Lionel’s Easy, with an almost Carpenter’s Say-Goodbye-To-Love-ish big guitar part) – so I gotta see that.
I hope she has some new music soon.
