Twin Peaks The Return is now 4 episodes in! Join us as we recap and discusss all the twists and turns in Parts 3 and 4. We're also starting to formulate our thoughts about what might be going on. We're already revisiting our earlier ideas, revising some and forgetting others. Theories abound about The Secret History of Twin Peaks and its mysterious dossier, non-linear storytelling, Hawk's connection to the mission, gaming imagery, the glass box, and the blue rose.
