As the story continues we learn that the strange man in Laura's mother's vision is 'Bob' from Agent Cooper's strange dream; almost simultaneously they learn the whereabouts of the 'One-armed Man'; when they see him though it appears he knows nothing; he does know somebody called Bob but he is in hospital. While preparing to enter the man's room Deputy Brennan drops his pistol causing it to fire; Cooper takes this as a sign that they could all do with some time on the pistol range; apart from Brennan they are all skilled; Cooper however is in a different league; managing to shoot a face onto the target. Later on they hear that the item previously found in Laura's stomach was a poker chip from One Eyed Jacks and that the wounds on Laura's body where probably caused by her being bitten by a myna bird... two clues that point to Jacques Renault. Away from the investigation things are as convoluted as ever; Catherine Martell and Ben Horne conspire to have Leo Johnson burn the mill down; Audrey Horne wants to start her own investigation into Laura's death and Norma Jenning's husband is up for parole.
This was another fine episode where the weirdness took a back seat to the investigation the apparent clues may come slowly but keep the mystery ticking over... although the more I watch the more I suspect that her murder is just a MacGuffin to get us into the various goings on in the town of Twin Peaks; everybody's lives seem to be intertwined and everybody seems to have a secret. This leaves the viewer with multiple plots to juggle; luckily the creators had the skill to keep things slightly confusing without them getting frustrated.
