I've been loving the Watchcast and this excuse to rewatch Twin Peaks specifically. Three things I only thought of when listening to this episode (spoiler-free): -I think the gazebo where Earle leaves Rusty is the same place he saw Cooper and Annie kiss after their date on the lake. That ties into his M.O. of insinuating himself into people's lives, the only thing he does as a villain that works for me. Sort of like trying to corrupt this memory for Cooper? Weirdly Dale never seems to pick up on the implicit threat, but maybe that's because he's too in love to do his job right now. -I'm not sure about the lady in the diner, but Pete and Dale's arms both start trembling when discussing or witnessing love. Maybe the greater degree of love in Twin Peaks lately is also drawing BOB in? He likes fear and the pleasures, after all. And his arm is the first thing we see manifesting in the final scene. -This one's a stretch, but is the horse costume meant to be a chess Knight? It's incredibly goofy either way, but given the Queen stuff Earle hasn't completely abandoned his dumb chess metaphors even if they're done with the game itself. Very excited to hear Brad and Vinny's reactions to where the final two episodes leave the world of Twin Peaks

I’m soooo hyped for the next episode I’m so curious what Brad especially is going to think about the ending …
