Notes for Season One, Episode Six (#1.006)

This post contains notes made during my most recent viewing (December 2019) of Twin Peaks season one, episode six.

Warning: Contains spoilers for later episodes and the film Fire Walk With Me.

Red text indicates deleted dialog. Please forgive my mistakes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Hawk gives Cooper a folder with a photo of Waldo on Laura's shoulder. In the folder is a paper from what appears to be 'Lawndale Hospital'? It is supposed to be a report with information about Laura, Leo and Ronette being in Jacques' cabin. Lawndale is an actual city in California.

• If Cooper worked with the Bookhouse Boys, not the FBI, to talk to Jacques, and he was not punished for any wrongdoing, one would assume he was granted permission to cross the border. Why did he not contact the FBI with his intentions the second time? If he asked for permission this time, why not the next? Is it a comment on Dale's morals? He had the time to do so.
  

• There is a close-up of a vase in the Hayward house, but when it pans out, it is no longer holding the flowers/feathers it was a moment earlier.

• Laura would have had a glass unicorn.

• Emory has car models around his office. Later in the series, Evelyn Marsh's husband Jeffrey has car models - both connected to writer/producer Harley Peyton. Also: a connection between evil men and an obsession with cars: Leo, Jeffrey Marsh, Emory Battis.

• Are we meant to think this episode takes place on the 25th? That is the date copied in Emory's notebook. If so, that would make Laura's death only two days ago, and this is episode six. Also, another example of the series being set in 1990 rather than 1989. It could be that this is when Jenny did other work. 

• Cooper watches Harry the entire time Harry is talking to Hank. Since Hank was in jail for manslaughter, you would think Cooper would wish to read him as well, gauge his behavior. Just because he was in jail does not mean he was not somehow involved with Laura's murder. Cooper should have tried to understand him better if for no reason other than that he was once Harry's friend.
  
  
• Wouldn't those at Horne's Department Store see on a phone bill that Audrey (or someone) made a call to One-Eyed Jacks from the perfume counter? Perhaps this was commonplace.
  

• Nadine has a bowling trophy on her TV.

• Before she leaves for One-Eyed Jacks, Audrey instructs the operator to call Agent Cooper again. Cooper apparently just came from his room. Is he avoiding her calls? How could he have not heard? "Yes, it's still urgent," she says.

• Jacoby says in a deleted scene that Laura is in a place where she can never be hurt again. Meaning he knew to some extent, whether he meant BOB or Leland, he knew.

• Johnny howls, a chilling howl, then, as Audrey looks in he is seemingly catatonic. (Moment deleted from the episode.)

• Johnny was nine when they brought Audrey home from the hospital *next page* she was crawling then.
  
  Was Audrey in the hospital longer than she should have been? Was she sick as a baby or is this a mistake?* Johnny was nine, though. Proof that Audrey isn't lying about her age.

• When Sylvia says Audrey came home from the hospital... could this phrasing mean Audrey was adopted? She doesn't say born. If Audrey was crawling, she could not have been a newborn.

• "Audrey slips another note under his door." More than one?

• How did Audrey get to One Eyed-Jacks if Jerry and Ben got there by boat? It looks as though it's raining. As far as I can recall, it is implied that Emory accompanied Jenny to One-Eyed Jacks. She didn't need directions to get there. Did Audrey ask for directions when she called?

• How long did it take Leo to get to the sheriff's station? It was light out when he spied on Bobby and Shelly. Now it's dark and raining.

• It almost sounds as though Blackie is dubbed when she says, "Just think of this as spring training." Her voice changes when she says, "You just might make the team."

• Did Donna get Laura's video recorder from the police department?

• The script says the camera pulls back to reveal someone is watching them AS BEFORE this is with Bobby Briggs by Easter Park. There is no other scene mentioned of someone watching them before this. There is a line that says OMITTED. I remember someone online mentioning a scene where the masked man was spying on the Hayward household in a different draft of a script. I wonder if that scene is the one omitted or was there another?

• Jacoby is shown in his apartment again watching the tape. He sees a gazebo. "Gazebo," he says, then heads for Easter Park which makes no sense in my mind. Maddy says she'll be at Sparkwood and 21 in ten minutes. Wouldn't it make sense that she would have recorded the video at the park and gone elsewhere later?
