This episode opens with a rather uncomfortable meal; the Horne family are sitting around the dinner table when Ben's brother, Jerry turns up and gives his brother a baguette; which he promptly tucks into ignoring the meal in front of him. The two of them then leave the room and get on their boat and head to 'One Eyed Jacks'... a nearby brothel; just over the border in Canada. Not much later we see Agent Cooper's very strange method of deduction which involves throwing rocks at a bottle; a method that came to him in a dream! That is nowhere nearest to being the strangest thing though; as the episode ends Cooper has the strangest dream; it involves the one armed man, a girl who may be Laura Palmer and a very peculiar dancing dwarf! The way they talk is decidedly creepy... what this all means only time will tell... possibly.
Up until know things have been slightly off; here they become off the wall weird... it is here that we learn Twin Peaks isn't going to be just a whodunit with slightly eccentric characters; it is certainly a programme unlike I'd seen before or since. David Lynch clearly knows how to do his stuff as rather than alienate the viewer the strangeness draws you into his strange world. Away from the total weirdness Cooper's FBI companion, forensic expert Albert Rosenfield turns up and immediately offends the sheriff's department with his view of their work; while he has only been in one scene Miguel Ferrer does a fine job in the role and makes a welcome addition to the cast.
