TIMELINE, episodes 2010 to 2016(death of Josie, hiatus in US)
--------------------------------------------------------------

15 Mar (Wednesday)   [Episode 2010 - 12/8/90
                      Written by Tricia Brook
                      Directed by Tina Rathborne]

   Day
   -- Cooper explains to Sarah what happened the night Maddy died and
      Leland's final moments
   -- Leland's wake.  Dr. Jacoby's back from Hawaii. Dougie pulls his brother's
      (Mayor Dwayne Milford) ear.  Dougie owns the newspaper and is
      engaged to be married.  The Mayor first ran for that office in '62.
      Cooper to Truman: Harry, I'm really gonna miss this place.
   -- Dr. Jacoby and Ed ask to have 35 year old Nadine admitted to school
   -- Audrey sees Cooper, who tells his tale of Earle.  A: "Friendship is
      the foundation of any lasting relationship."

   12:35 pm (clock on wall)
   -- Bobby puts on Leo's clothes and goes to see Ben
   -- Catherine talks to Truman.  She says a guardian angel saved her and
      directed her to the summer cabin on Pearl Lakes.  There appears to
      be an owl-shaped smudge on her cheek.
   -- Dick talks to Lucy while she's replacing ceiling light bulbs.  She
      nearly falls but Dick's oblivious.  Andy offers to be friends.
   -- Cooper says goodbye to Truman, who gives him a green butt skunk hook
      and a Bookhouse Boy patch.  He says goodbye to Hawk, Andy and Lucy,
      when Roger Hardy arrives with a mountie and tells Cooper he has been
      suspended from the FBI.
   -- Audrey gets Bobby in to see Ben, but gets kicked out.  They go to
      get ice cream. B: Cup or cone? A: Mmmm...cone. I like to lick.
   -- Roger and the mountie question Cooper, who surrenders his gun and
      badge.  They only knew of two deaths, and Cooper didn't know about
      Battis.  Truman stands up for Cooper.
   -- Nadine Butler tries out for cheerleading

   6:20 pm (clock on wall)
   -- Shelly brushes Leo's teeth.  Bobby calls, Leo moves.

   Night
   -- Vivien reveals herself to Norma, who kicks her out
   -- Hank brings Ernie to Jean at OEJ.  Jean's assistant is the mountie -
      he'll put some of the stolen cocaine in Cooper's car
   -- Josie, injured, returns to Truman's place
   -- Cooper and Briggs around a campfire:
      COOPER: At the time I did what I thought was right.  I must now face
        the consequences.
      BRIGGS: You can do no more.
      (Cooper and Major Briggs, roasting marshmallows over a campfire.)
      COOPER: You know, Major, I find myself thinking a lot about BOB.
        If he truly exists.
      BRIGGS: Yeah, I've pondered that same question continuously since this
        horror was revealed.
      COOPER:   I try to imagine him out there, incarnate, looking for
        another victim to inhabit.
      BRIGGS:   There are powerful forces of evil in the world.  It is some
        men's fate to face great darkness.  We each choose how to react.
        If the choice is fear, then we become vulnerable to darkness.
        There are ways to resist.  You, sir, were blessed with certain
        gifts.  In this respect, you are not alone.  Have you ever heard
        of the White Lodge?
      COOPER: The White Lodge.  No, I don't believe I have.
      (Briggs appears to ponder what he should say about this.)
      (Angle on the woods from the point of view of some unknown entity,
      moving through the woods.)
      COOPER:   Major, I'm going to take a moment here.  I feel the call of
        nature.  There's nothing quite like urinating out in the open air.  I
        look forward to hearing more about this White Lodge.
        (Cooper moves off into the woods. Major Briggs laughs, gives
        the departing Cooper a "thumb's-up".)
        When I return.  From my journey.
      (Lingering on Briggs, who looks off in the direction of Cooper's
      exit with a speculative expression.  An owl hoots.  Major Briggs looks
      up, alarmed.)
      (Cooper urinating in the woods.  An owl hoots in the tree above him.
      Cooper watches the owl.  Suddenly a brilliant white light appears
      behind him.  Cooper turns toward the light.)
      (Angle on Briggs, bathed in blinding white light.)
      BRIGGS:   COOPER!  COOPER!
      (A robed figure appears in the light, backlit.  No features are visible.)
      (Cooper dashes through the woods to the camp site.  The Major is gone.)
      COOPER: Major Briggs?  MAJOR?
      (Cooper looks at the light.  It seems to be receding into the woods.
      Cooper runs toward it.  He reaches the top of a small hill and freezes,
      looking into the light.  The light blinks out.)

16 Mar (Thursday)   [Episode 2011 - 12/15/90
                     Written by Barry Pullman
                     Directed by Duwayne Dunham]

   Morning
   -- James cycles
   -- Mrs. Briggs talks to Cooper and Truman about her husband's disappearance.
      Being "in the woods is very significant," he "talks about them
      constantly." He left some notes by his bedside table so she'll call back
      later.
   -- Andy and Hawk found a present for Mr. & Mrs. Milford
   -- Gordon calls from Bend (a temp patches him through - Lucy's helping
      with the wedding).  Dennis Bryson from the DEA will be arriving.
   -- Cooper presents no defense to Roger
   -- Nadine asks Donna about Mike
   -- James cycles to Wally's and meets Evelyn Marsh

   12:18 pm (clock on wall)
   -- Andy leaves flowers for Lucy
   -- Dick brings Nicky, his charge from Happy Helping Hand, to the station.
      Andy offers him a malt.
   -- Cooper, Truman, and Hawk discuss the White Lodge:
      HAWK: Cooper, you may be fearless in this world, but there are other
        worlds.
      COOPER: Tell me more.
      HAWK: My people believe that the White Lodge is a place where the
        spirits that rule man and nature here reside.
      TRUMAN: Local legend.  Goes way back.
      HAWK: There is also a legend of a place called the Black Lodge...
        the shadow-self of the White Lodge.  The legend says that
        every spirit must pass through there on the way to perfection.
        There, you will meet your own shadow-self.  My people call
        it "The Dweller on the Threshold."
      COOPER: "The Dweller on the Threshold..."
      HAWK: But it is said, if you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect
        courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.
   -- Dennis arrives. He and Cooper worked together in Oakland.  An RCMP
      officer says he stole drugs.
   -- Nadine leg presses 600 lbs.
   -- Josie tells Truman about Eckhardt. He took her off the streets in Hong
      Kong at 16 and taught her about life and business. She was afraid for her
      life when she met Andrew, a business partner. She says she believes
      Eckhardt is responsible for Andrew's death. She escaped from the airport
      at Seattle.
   -- Roger has pie at the RR (story on Leland in his paper)
   -- Hank and Ernie return.  When Norma asks Ernie if he caught anything, he
      spins a tale she doesn't buy.  Vivien's returned to Seattle.
   -- Nicky blows whip cream in Dick's face and spins Andy's seat
   -- James looks at Evelyn's '48 Jaguar.  Her husband, Jeffrey, travels
      extensively.  She'll provide room and board while he works on the car.
   -- Ben watches old footage of the groundbreaking ceremony for the Great
      Northern.  Hank arrives: "Ben, I have had an absolutely killer schedule."
      Ben wants to rearrange furniture.  Hank tells him OEJ has been taken
      over.  Ben makes shadow figures.
   -- Cooper gets an envelope from Windom Earle.  P to Q4.
      "Of course, you couldn't help but take note of my emphatically
      traditional opening.  I must say, your responding move was nothing
      if not reflective of your predilection for the tidy and fastidious.
      See how my response to you begins to lead us towards a classical
      confrontation?  But there's doubt in your mind: what are my true
      intentions?  How will you answer this time?  Hobgoblins, Dale...
      consistency...predictability, giving rise to patterns.  We both
      know only too well how these patterns leave you vulnerable to
      attack.  You with your wounds, I with mine, let me paint you a
      picture: my knights will skirmish, lanes of power and influence
      will open through my bishops and rooks, pawns will naturally
      be forfeit.  I'm even prepared to sacrifice my queen because,
      I assure you, dear Dale, my goal will be attained at any cost;
      the king must die!"
   -- The Milford wedding.  Dwayne objects.
   -- Denise tells Cooper s/he found cocaine in Cooper's car and explains
      what happened.
   -- Cooper dances with Audrey, Andy with Denise
   -- Josie tells Catherine Thomas Eckhardt killed Andrew and she should be
      careful.  Catherine employs Josie as her maid.  Andrew's alive:
      "Everything's going exactly as we planned."  He and Catherine will be
      waiting for Eckhardt.

17 Mar (Friday)   [Episode 2012 - 1/12/90
                   Written by Harley Peyton and Robert Engles
                   Directed by Caleb Deschanel]

   Morning
   -- Bobby tries again to blackmail Ben, who's acting too weird for it to
      take.  B: "You know what you have to have in this life? Balance,
      distance, symmetry."  He's stacked his furniture.  Eventually he hires
      Bobby to spy on Hank.  Lana runs by screaming.
   -- Cooper is discussing houses with a real estate agent (Irene).  A coin
      flip leads him to like Dead Dog Farm, an estate with a mysterious past
      where no one stays for long.
   -- Andy, Dick and Lucy visit with Nickie's case worker.  Nickie is an orphan
      who has been through many foster homes, and is the victim of "persistent
      random misfortune." Truman breaks up the meeting calling Andy to an
      emergency at the Great Northern.
   -- Truman, Doc Hayward and Andy investigate Dougie Milford, dead in his
      hotel bed.  Dwayne comes in and grieves, accusing the wife of murder by
      sex.  Andy doesn't cry.  "My Secret Life" by Chris Gerrity is found
      on the bed.
   -- In the hallway, Hawk is talking/flirting with the widow.  H: "When
      something really big goes down, I'm the man."

   10:10 am (clock on wall)
   -- Nadine has joined the wrestling team and takes district champion Mike in
      one fall while asking him out
   -- Mike complains to Donna about Nadine.  D: "I'm not that good of an
      actress."
   -- James meets Malcolm Sloan - Evelyn Marsh's brother, Jeffrey Marsh's
      driver.  He says Marsh abuses Evelyn.  Once a fortnight she breaks one
      of his things.  M: "I'm sorry.  Am I being obscure?"
   -- At Dead Dog Farm, Cooper notices some tire tracks: "A Jeep, a four-
      wheeler and a luxury sedan."  In the house he deduces a meeting took
      place in the past few hours.  He finds baby laxative and cocaine dust.
   -- Dick fixes a flat (reading the instructions) while Nicky is being
      irritating.  While Nicky is away from the car, it falls off the jack.
      Nicky panics and runs to hug Dick (who is unhurt).

   Day
   -- Cooper comes to tell Truman about Dead Dog Farm, but instead visits
      with Air Force Colonel Riley investigating Major Briggs.  Briggs is a
      great pilot and his disappearance makes the cold war look like the
      sniffles.  "The owls are not what they seem" was broadcast from
      the woods, not deep space -- maybe from the White Lodge ("That's
      classified").  Cooper mentions seeing an owl before Briggs disappeared.
   -- James and Evelyn flirt and kiss.  James encourages her to leave her
      husband but she refuses.  When Jeffrey comes home she runs to greet him.
   -- Bobby, returning to Ben's office with photos, sees Audrey who flirts
      with him but doesn't kiss him.  Audrey goes to her secret listening
      place.
   -- Ben, who is working on a civil war model ("Gettysburg, day 1"), accepts
      the photos from Bobby and gives him a raise.  Audrey eavesdrops.
   -- Pete and Catherine enjoy a romantic meal, served by Josie in a maid
      outfit.  Pete is bothered by Catherine's treatment of Josie, but is
      having too much fun to make an issue of it.
   -- Cooper brings Diane up to date:
      "Diane, I'm holding in my hand a nationally distributed newspaper.  My
      opening move [P to Q4] responding to Windom Earle's opening move was
      printed in the personal column as per my instructions, but I have
      already received his response to this yesterday.  He anticipated my
      response to his opening move perfectly.  He's toying with me, Diane.
      I wonder where he is and what he's planning."
      Audrey knocks and offers Cooper Bobby's photos she has just stolen from
      her father's office.  Cooper identifies them as Hank, Ernie, Jean Renault
      and the mountie, meeting at Dead Dog Farm.  Denise comes in, and Audrey
      kisses Cooper on her way out.  Cooper briefs Denise.
      D: I may be wearing a dress but I still pull my panties on one leg at a
         time, if you know what I mean.
      Cooper: Not really...

   Night
   -- At the RR, Ed looks depressed, prompting Norma to suggest they can still
      be friends and to take his hand, all this secretly witnessed by Hank,
      sporting a 3:4 domino.
   -- Dick tells Andy he thinks Nicky is the devil
   -- In Truman's office, Dwayne continues to accuse Lana of murder.  Doc says
      it was a natural heart attack.
   -- In the hallway, all the men watch Lana being escorted to a room.  They
      begin collectively reciting Shakespeare.
   -- Lucy tries to call the sheriff to the phone, but gets no response.  She
      eventually finds all the men literally spellbound by Lana telling
      stories.
   -- Denise visits Ernie at the RR.  At the Great Northern, Cooper and Denise
      interrogate Ernie.  They apparently want to let him off, using him to
      catch the big guys.  Denise will pose as a buyer from Seattle and Ernie
      will arrange for a deal between Renault and Denise.
   -- James hears Evelyn and Jeffrey fighting.  Malcolm tells James the first
      beating was four years ago.  He swears to kill Jeffrey.
   -- Bobby goes home to find his mother sitting in the dark grieving over the
      Major's disappearance.  She flips on an owl lamp and Bobby tells his
      mother about the Major's vision.  Suddenly the lights go out and the
      major materializes in the house, wearing a vintage pilot's outfit
      (leather jacket and goggles) and asking how long he's been gone.
      Betty: Is everything all right?
      Garland: No, dear...not exactly.


18 Mar (Saturday)  [Episode 2013 - 1/19/90
                    Written by Harley Peyton
                    Directed by Todd Holland]

   Morning
   -- Fade up on night time sky/field of stars.  Camera pans
      slowly to right.
         VOICE: (whispers) Cooperrr...
      In the background, a chittering noise is heard.  A yellow
      symbol consisting of three equilateral triangles overlapping
      slightly at their apexes (like the international radiation
      symbol) appears spinning in the center of the screen and
      rapidly moves towards the camera with a screaming noise.
      When it hits the camera, the screen erupts with flames.
         BRIGGS (V.O.): I remember stepping from the flames.  A
           vague shape in the dark.  Then nothing.
      Slow fade from flames to Major Garland Briggs.  He is
      seated on a throne of stone in the middle of a jungle.
      The camera moves slowly towards him.
         BRIGGS: 'Til I found myself standing by the cold
           remains of our campfire.  Two days later.
         HAYWARD (Distorted V.O.): Major, there are some new techniques
           that might help us break through your amnesia.
         BRIGGS: Well, my memories are immune from regression.
           I can feel them...
      A wolf begins to growl in the background.
         BRIGGS: ...they're palpable, the smells, the sensation.
           Everything is known to me, yet somehow beyond my reach.
         COOPER (distorted V.O.): Do you remember anything else?
         BRIGGS: Very little, save for one disturbing image
           of a giant owl, pervasive.
      The wolf continues to growl.
         COOPER (distorted V.O.): A giant owl?
      With a flash of light, we cut to a brief negative image of an owl flying,
      then to a close shot of the back of the Major's neck, where there is a
      small red scar identical to the 3-triangle symbol seen before.  Cut
      to Briggs face.  The flash is revealed to be from an Instamatic
      camera that Doc Hayward used to take a picture of the scar.
      The camera slowly pulls back from Briggs.  The scene is the
      Sheriff's Station Conference Room, the time is apparently morning.
      Major Briggs, Agent Cooper, Doc Hayward and Sheriff Truman
      are present.
         COOPER: A giant owl?  How big?
         BRIGGS: (fidgeting with his fingers) Enough to cloud my mind and
           memory.
         HAYWARD: (handing the instant picture he has just taken to Cooper)
           Three triangular scars behind the right ear, in perfect proportion.
         TRUMAN: Major Briggs...what exactly does your work involve?
         BRIGGS: That information...as I've repeated endlessly
           to myself...classified.  Though the keeping of
           secrets ... seems less meaningful to me now.
           (Pause.  The Major is nervous and shaken.)
           Perhaps there are sources of information that are
           so important as to transcend the human need
           to conspire.  Information of such weight that
           pertains not ... (Garland pauses.  He begins to
           lose control of his emotions.)  Oh, God!  Is
           this meant for the soul?!  My soul?
         COOPER: Major--perhaps you'd better start back at the beginning.
         BRIGGS: Are you familiar with...Project Bluebook?
         COOPER: Yes sir, I am.  The Air Force investigation into
           the phenomenon of Unidentified Flying Objects.
         BRIGGS: Officially disbanded in 1969.  But, there are those
           of us who ... continue in an _unofficial_ capacity.
           Examining the heavens as before...in the case of
           Twin Peaks, the earth below.
      Cooper and Truman look at each other.
         BRIGGS: We are searching for a place called the White Lodge.
      Briggs stops talking as the door opens and two M.P.s step in.
         M.P. #1: Major Briggs?
         BRIGGS: I've been expecting you.
         TRUMAN: Now hold on just a minute, fellas.
         M.P. #1: Colonel Riley's orders.
         TRUMAN: I don't care what orders you got, this is my
           station and Major Briggs happens to be a friend of mine.
         BRIGGS: Harry (Briggs rises).   I'm afraid we will have to continue
           this discussion at a later date.
         TRUMAN: Are you sure you wanna to go with them?
         BRIGGS: (Nods) Yeah. (to Cooper) Goodbye.
         M.P. #1: Major.
      A sprinkler drips onto the photo Cooper is holding {we hear the
      "hand shakes" sound from 2020}.
   -- Denise and Cooper have Ernie call Jean for the setup

   -- At the RR, Ed tells Norma, "We need to talk"
   -- Shelly's fed up with taking care of Leo and slaps Bobby who's going

   -- Hawk prepares Ernie with a bug:
      (Hawk is attaching a "wire" to Ernie with adhesive tape)
      E: Ouch!  Will you mind the chest hair, will ya?
      H: You're sweatin' like a pig, Mr. Niles!
      E: Oh, thanks a lot!  That's nervous perspiration, man, hyperhydrosis.
         It's a childhood condition--and I didn't notice it 'til the war.
         Korea, remember that?  Do ya?  I was leading a battalion up towards
         the 49th parallel.  We were just a bunch of fresh-faced kids.
         I didn't know what kinda hell we were steppin' into.
      C: Ernie!  Ernie, I want you to focus on the here and now.  Repeat your
         instructions to me, step by step.
      E: Okay.  Uh...I take...Denise...up to Dead Dog Farm.  I introduce her to
         Renault.
      C: Right.
      E: I, uh...take Renault through the buy...complete the transaction, and
         get the hell out of there, huh?
      C: Good.  Harry--that's when you come in. (Truman nods)  By golly...I
         sure wish I could join you fellas.  But I've temporarily lost my
         enforcement franchise.
      E: Heh, I bet.
      T: Well...I've been givin' that some thought. (tosses badge to Cooper)
         Consider yourself deputized.  The bureau's loss is my gain.
      (Cooper looks at the badge--it's number 13.)
      C: (happily)  I hope I can live up to this.
      H: (finishes wiring Ernie)  He's done.  You might want to towel him off
         before we go! (wipes his hands, exits)
      E: Ah, come on!  (to Cooper and Truman)  Uh...how long will it, uh...
         take you guys to storm the farmhouse after, uh, I complete the buy?
      C: (pinning on his badge)  You go out, we come in.
      E: Can I, can I ask you a question?
      T: What, Ernie?
      E: Don't make me do this!  This isn't my line of work!  I'm a coward!  I
         don't do this kind of thing, I'm a CPA!
      T: Ernie.
      C: Ernie.
      E: (laughs nervously) Just a momentary lapse.  I'm okay, I'm...I'm cool.
         Let's go do it, huh?
      C: Where's Denise?
      T: Haven't seen her.
      (Door opens.  Dennis enters dressed as a man, hair pulled back into a
       ponytail)
      D: (proudly)  You can call me Dennis!  Oh, I don't know, somehow it
         seemed...more appropriate.  (Cooper beams, absolutely delighted)
         Whadda you think?
      (Truman whistles appreciatively)
   -- Andy and Dick at the Dorritt Home for Boys
      D: Our investigation must proceed "sub rosa."  We may have to pick the
         lock.  Tricky business, that.  (Andy opens the unlocked door)  Voila!
         We enter!
      A: Where is everybody?
      D: Lunch!  Here we are, the case files.  N...N...N...(turns to another
         set of files) N!  Nales...Nester...Netherby...Needleman, Nicholas.
         Needleman, our little Nicky!
      A: We can read it in the car!
      D: Oh, patience, Andrew.
      A: (increasingly nervous) Dick!
      D: Sh!  The usual background information...mmm...birthplace...initial
         adoption...  mm-hmm!  First of several, it seems.
      A: Dick!
      D: (oblivious to Andy)  Ah, the plot thickens.  Where are thy secrets,
         little Nicky?
      (The Brewsters appear at the door, wave eagerly.  Andy sees them.)
      A: Dick!
      (The Brewsters enter.  Dick jumps up, startled, and clumsily hides
      Nicky's file in his trenchcoat.)
      B: Hi!
      (Andy, petrified, crosses and stands beside Dick.)
      B: We're the Brewsters.  (laughs)  I know we're a little early.  It's
         just that we're so darn eager to see him.  Can we see him?  Where's
         Donny?
      D: D--Uh, little Donny is...uh, dead.  (The Brewsters look horrified.)
         Eh!  Dead tired, I mean.  I'm afraid little Donny, he isn't feeling up
         to snuff.
      B: Well, he was in perfect health only yesterday.
      (Dick is stumped.)
      A: Dick!
      D: Just a minute...*Woody*.  Let me finish helping these good people.
         Now--where were we?

   Afternoon
   -- Ed answers the door to Donna who's looking for James.  She'll deliver
      the money.
   -- Norma leaves and Nadine rescues Ed from Hank
   -- Bobby sees Ben, then Audrey.  A: I think Daddy needs an injection.
   -- Catherine visits Ben
   -- James shows Evelyn the fixed car who seduces him as Malcolm watches
   -- At Dead Dog Farm, Ernie's shirt smokes, blowing the cover.  Hawk calls
      for backup as Cooper exchanges himself for Ernie and Dennis.

   Evening (1/4 moon)
   -- Evelyn leaves James in bed to go at it with Malcolm
   -- Jean, the mountie, and Cooper in the center room:
      C:  Is my death so important to you?
      R:  My two brothers die...I hold you responsible.
      C:  Why?
      R:  Well...before you came here...Twin Peak was a simple place.
          My brothers deal dope to the teenagers and the truckdrivers...
          oh...One Eyed Jack welcomed the businessman and the tourist...
          quiet people lived a quiet life.  Then--a pretty girl die,
          and you arrive...and everything change.  My brother Bernardo,
          shot, and left to die in the...the woods.  A grieving father
          smother my remaining brother with, ah...the pillow.
          Kidnaping...death...suddenly, ah, the quiet people...they're
          quiet no more.  Suddenly the...the simple dream, become the
          nightmare.  So.  If you die, maybe you will be the last to die.
          Maybe you brought, ah...the nightmare...with you.  And maybe...
          the nightmare will *die* with you.
   -- Dennis in a RR uniform, delivers food.  Cooper shoots Jean with a
      gun hidden in Dennis' panty hose and Dennis kicks the mountie's ass.
   -- Shelly wakes to intermittent power to find Leo
   -- Power's off at the station.  Lucy says there were two fires and an
      explosion.  Cooper finds a dead person pointing to a chessboard:

      Bobby, it's me you suck up to.

      T: So how does chess figure into all this?
      C: Because Windom Earle and I played a game every day for three years.
         He felt that all of life could be found in the patterns and conflicts
         on the board.  (pauses)  Because I never beat him.  (pauses)  Now it's
         my turn.  I'll publish my response in the Twin Peaks Gazette.  I don't
         know what else to do.
      T: Coop, you're gonna have to give me some more information here.
      C: Harry, I've brought some baggage to town I haven't told you about.
         (sits) Windom Earle was my first partner.  Everything I know about the
         law and the bureau, I owe to him.  Four years ago, we drew the
         assignment of protecting a material witness in a federal crime.  She
         was, uh...very beautiful...very gentle woman.  Her name was Caroline.
         She and I fell in love.  One night, I...failed in my vigilance.  An
         attack was made; I wasn't ready.  I was wounded and I lost
         consciousness.  (swallows hard)  When I came to, she was in my arms,
         she...she was dead, she'd been stabbed.
      T: The wounds on the vagrant.
      C: Identical.  The killer was never found.  My wound healed; Windom Earle
         went mad.  Institutionalized until his recent escape.
      T: So why is he after you?
      C: Harry--Caroline was Windom Earle's wife.
      (Truman has been sitting on the edge of his desk.  Now, he sits in his
      chair, taken aback.)
      T: So...he blames you for her death.
      C: (shakes his head, leans forward)  It's much worse than that.  I think
         he killed her.  And I think he committed the crime that she originally
         witnessed.  Harry-- Windom Earle's mind is like a diamond!  It's cold,
         and hard, and brilliant.  I think he feigned the insanity that sent
         him away, but at some point he lost the ability to distinguish between
         what's right and what's wrong.  You don't know what he's capable of,
         Harry...you don't know!
   -- Donna shows up at Wally's looking for James but finds Evelyn instead.
      Evelyn said he had done some work for her and then headed off to Mexico.
   -- Audrey ushers Jerry into Ben's office.  BEN: "Jeb!"  Dr. Jacoby is there.
      He says Ben's reversal of the South's fortunes is a healthy way for Ben
      to recover from his own defeat.
   -- Briggs staggers into the sheriff's office and collapses.  Lucy checks her
      lip stick.
   -- Briggs, Truman and Cooper at the station:
      (Briggs, Cooper, and Truman are all sucking down huge glasses of water.
       Lucy is standing nearby with a pitcher of water.)
      L: More?
      C: I'm fine.
      T: Fine, Lucy.
      B: Fine.
      (Lucy exits.)
      T: Major--what happened?
      B: Well, as men who have dedicated their lives to service, I know that
         you're able to understand how sacred I hold a pledge of allegiance.
         And the cost one must pay when breaking a pledge.
      C: It can be very great.
      B: Well, the Air Force, *I thought*, was not unlike other societies of
         men dedicated to the fight for the good.  (pauses, mops his brow)
         Gentlemen, frankly I'm worried.  When my superiors questioned me about
         my disappearance, they exhibited a degree of suspicion and intolerance
         bordering on the paranoic.  I must now admit that their motivation in
         the search for the White Lodge is not ideologically pure.  I believe
         that during my disappearance I was taken to the White Lodge.  I can
         remember, virtually nothing.  But I have the clear, intuitive sense
         that there's...  much trouble ahead.
      C: Major?  What kind of trouble?
      B: I am unaware of the form it will take.  (pauses)  I will return.
         Until that time, I will be in the shadows if you need me.  Good day,
         gentlemen.
      C: Good day, Major.
      (the Major exits.)
      T: In the shadows.  Can you beat that?
      C: No...
   -- Jacoby, Lana, Cooper, Truman, Hawk at the station
      (Cooper and Truman enter the meeting room after Hawk.  Jacoby and Lana
       are waiting there.)
      J: Good.  I wanted all of you to hear this.  I've just spent almost the
         last twenty-four hours with this charming young lady, and as you can
         see, uh...  I have no bruises, no broken bones...any claims by her
         deceased husband's brother that she's cursed or somehow responsible
         for a death is nonsense.  Now what she does, in fact, possess is a
         heightened sexual drive.  And a working knowledge of technique,
         anatomy, and touch, that few men have ever had the pleasure of
         experiencing, or the skills to match.
      T: Is it *hot* in here?
      C: Yeah.
      H: Yep.
      C: Lana, let me be the first to congratulate you.
      L: Thank you!  Well--I could never have done it without Dr. Jacoby.
      J: Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.  Okay.  Well then, we're gonna go bowling.
         See ya later, guys!
   -- Dwayne Milford is in the lobby with a shotgun, threatening to shoot Lana.
      Cooper suggests that the mayor and the widow go alone into the conference
      room to work it out.  Truman: Now what?  Cooper: We wait.
   -- The cops enter the conference room to find the widow and the mayor
      making wedding plans.
   -- Catherine reveals Andrew Packard to Pete.  P: "We forgot the weenies!"
      Catherine and Andrew knew of the attempt on Andrew's life so they staged
      it.  Eckhardt tried to kill him after he got the better of him in a
      business deal.  It was planned for 6 years.

   Dusk
   -- Eckhardt and Jones check into the Great Northern
   -- Truman shows Cooper a Seattle newspaper story -- Jonathan is dead.
      Truman suspects Josie and asks Cooper to investigate.  C: "If you
      say drink coffee, I'll drink coffee."
   -- Doc Hayward tells Dick and Andy about Nicky's past.  His mother was an
      immigrant, maid at the Great Northern.  She was impregnated during a
      rape, died in child birth.  Nicky was in an orphanage, then adopted.
      His adopted parents were killed in a car crash.  Lucy is indignant that
      the men had suspected Nicky of wrong-doing.  She swats a fly.
      Dick and Andy break down and cry.
   -- It comes down at the Marsh place.  Evelyn says Jeffrey died in a car
      crash, the brake lines were cut.  JAMES: "You set me up!"  Evelyn says
      she loves James, and hopes he gets away.  Police arrive.  James is
      sneaking away.  Donna is there in the shadows, and they run away
      together.

   Night
   -- Leo walking through the woods.  Gratuitous owl shots.  There is a cabin
      with a light on.  Leo walks in and meets Windom Earle.

   Day
   -- Evelyn and Malcolm tell the cops about James
   -- At Wally's, the cops watch an opera, while James and Donna talk

      Caroline's clothing.
   -- Earle makes music as Leo awakens
   -- Ed and Norma discuss their future in bed when Nadine rips off the door

   -- Pete returns with a load of dry cleaning.  Cooper takes a sample from
      a coat.

   -- Ben continues on in the war.  Johnny is present in his Indian headdress.
      Bobby trumpets.
   -- Evelyn and Donna trade words at Wally's until Malcolm comes for Evelyn
   -- Albert's report.  The dead Asian man was Jonathan Kumagai.  The fibers
      found outside Cooper's door and from Josie's coat are a perfect match.
      The dead vagrant's name was Eric Powell.  Powell was Caroline's maiden
      name.
   -- Pete beats Toad, Cooper and Doc Hayward in chess
   -- Shelly gets her job back and cleans the ice cream cone

      seduces him.  Malcolm knocks him out.
   -- The North surrenders and Ben's back

   Morning
   -- Cooper and Truman listen to Earle's tape.  They decide to call Pete
      for Cooper's next move.  Lucy: Paper and Pete, got it - I'll do it
      alphabetically!
   -- Pete answers Lucy's call then serves breakfast to Catherine and Andrew.
      Josie enters, sees Andrew and faints.
   -- Truman reads the paper, an article on the Asian man's death
   -- Hank (on crutches) and Hawk in Truman's office.  Truman accuses Hank of
      shooting Leo.  Hank says he was home with Norma then, and offers to deal
      info on Packard's death for freedom.  No deal.  Hawk kicks Hank's
      crutch out from under him.
   -- Albert's report regarding the gun:
      A: This is the bullet we removed from you.  This is the one that was
         excavated from the dead man's skull.  Same bullets, same gun, same
         killer.  Let's go get her.
      C: Albert, hold your horses.
      A: Coop--I appreciate any reluctance you might have for busting your
         pal's old lady, but the woman ventilated you and left you for dead.
      C: (holds up his hand) Albert--I don't take it personally.  What about
         the gloves, the powder tests?
      A: News at five.  All right, fine, you're not mad, but there's an
         epidemic of multiple gunshot wounds following this chick around,
         she is a menace.
      C: (nods) I'll talk to her.  Maybe she'll confess, turn herself in.
      A: Maybe she'll grow wings and join the circus. (leaves)
   -- Audrey working as concierge at the Great Northern.  J.J. Wheeler walks
      in; he claims to have seen Audrey years ago playing Heidi.  Audrey has
      mail -- a note containing a torn piece of paper with writing, and a
      note inviting her to "save the one you love" by attending "a gathering
      of angels" at the Roadhouse that night.
   -- Ed replaces some figurines on a shelf when Nadine returns from school
      early. She confesses to Ed her love for Mike.  NADINE: "We have to
      call a spade a spade.  We're breaking up."
   -- Cooper pleads the truth from Josie.  Catherine listens in.  COOPER: "I
      don't know what place Harry occupies in your heart, but I do know that
      you own his."  Josie is unresponsive.  After Cooper leaves, Catherine
      badgers Josie while oozing slime.  Catherine says Josie will have to
      see Eckhardt alone that night.  JOSIE: "He'll kill me."  Catherine
      casually exposes a gun in the book case which Josie grabs and fondles.
   -- Bobby, Ben, Jerry, Audrey and John Justice Wheeler plot business.
      Ben reveals there is an endangered species on the mill/Ghostwood
      property: the pine weasel.
      B: I give you...the little pine weasel.  Found only in our tri-county
         area...  it is nearly extinct.
      J: (happily) They're incredible roasted.
      Ben will use this fact to stop development until he is in the driver's
      seat.  BEN: "And then, I'm considering a run for the Senate."

   1:16 (clock on wall)
   -- Earle the truck driver leaves the RR, leaving a note for Shelly.
      Norma is on the phone with her sister, Annie, who lives at a
      convent.  Shelly reads the note, identical to Audrey's.
      Ed comes in and proposes to Norma.
   -- Leo whittles under Earle's instruction
   -- Norma visits Hank in jail, asks for a divorce.  Hank promises to reform
      and asks for an alibi regarding Leo.  Norma refuses, although Hank
      swears he'll die if he goes back to prison.  HANK: "You're his whore,
      Norma."  NORMA: "I'd rather be his whore than your wife."
   -- Pete selects a move that will give Earle "sleepless nights" and not
      allow him to capture any pieces for 5-6 moves.  It appears to be P to
      QN-3.  This is just about the only legal move in that corner of the

   5:00 pm (A to C: "News at five.")
   -- Albert says the powder on Josie's glove proves she shot Cooper.  There
      was a positive ID of her in Seattle.
   -- Andrew visits Josie putting on makeup in her room.  He says he loved her
      though she didn't love him and she should go to Eckhardt who can
      get her out of the country.

   Dusk
   -- James and Donna meet for a picnic in the mountains.  James is going to
      continue traveling around.  Donna will return to TP.  They will continue
      to love each other and meet again some day. Evelyn is going to stand
      trial and James will be a witness.

   Evening
   -- Truman comes to see Josie.  Catherine says she's gone to see Eckhardt.
   -- Eckhardt and Andrew meet in the elevator.  Andrew says he is alive
      because Josie betrayed Eckhardt.  Something about Josie in love with
      Truman.  ECKHARDT: "I have taken care of that [Truman]."
   -- Ben, Audrey and Jack at supper.  Jack is in business of saving troubled
      businesses with environmental problems.  Ben is called away;
      attraction/repulsion/defensiveness between Audrey and Jack ensues.

   9:30 pm
   -- Shelly, Audrey and Donna meet at the Roadhouse.  They put their three
      pieces of paper together. Earle watches from the bar.
      "See the mountains kiss high heaven
      And the waves clasp one another.
      No sister flower would be forgiven
      If it disdained its brother.
      And the sunlight clasps the earth,
      And the moonbeams kiss the sea.
      What is all this sweet work worth,
      If thou kiss not me?"
   -- Cooper practices fly fishing in his room.  Catherine calls to let him
      know where Josie is.  He grabs his gun and goes to investigate.  He hears
      a shot and opens Eckhardt's door.  Eckhardt stands up and dies.
      Josie and Cooper point guns at each other.
      J: He tried to kill me.
      C: Is that what you'll say about me, Josie--that I tried to kill you?
         What about Jonathan?  Did he try to kill you, too?
      J: He...he was taking me back.
      C: Why did you shoot me, Josie?
      J: Because you came here.  I knew this day was going to come.  I'm not
         going to jail!  I can't!
      (Truman enters, gun drawn)
      H: Put it down, Josie.
      J: Ah!  Harry?!
      H: PUT IT DOWN!!
      J: Harry--forgive me.  I never meant to hurt you. (takes several sharp
         breaths, closes her eyes, hugs the gun to her chest, and collapses on
         the bed)
      H: (rushes to her, cradles her in his arms) Josie!  Josie?!  Josie!
         (looks up) She's dead.
      (Truman and Josie on the bed disappear, spotlight appears.  BOB climbs
      onto the bed from the floor on the far side, laughing maniacally, until
      he is on his hands and knees on the bed)
      B: Coop!  What happened to Josie?! (continues to laugh)
      (BOB disappears, the little Man From Another Place appears, dances on
      the bed, and disappears.  Truman and Josie reappear as before.  Josie's
      face appears in the knob of the nightstand, crying out in torment)
