Incarcerated Dirty Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) looks into the mirror and flashes back to the BOB’s original hostile takeover, then in a disturbing face-possession mash-up acknowledges that BOB is still with him. Shudder.

Meanwhile, dopplegänger Dougie continues shuffling through life — going to work, drinking coffee, making enemies.

3. Amanda Seyfried

Vocal viewers on social media are invested in new addition Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables) as Shelly’s daughter, Becky, but hugely skeptical about her husband Steven — maybe remembering actor Caleb Landry Jones from Get Out and thinking, Run, girl! Run!

4. Dr. Amp’s Shovel

Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s (Russ Tamblyn) animated alter ego, Dr. Amp, pumped up more than a few people, who were eager to buy what he was selling.

5. The Bang Bang Bar Scene

Eamon Farren’s violent Richard Horne in The Bang Bang Bar unsettled some — what others might call a mission accomplished.

Still, everyone seemed to universally like the bar’s musical lineup.

One Final Thought

Of all the hideous behavior in Twin Peaks past and present, Doris is the worst. (Congrats, Candy Clark, on doing too good a job portraying a truly awful person.)
