An arrest is made

Warning: Spoilers
The number of people known to have seen Bob is rising but he remains as mysterious as ever... although Albert remains sceptical as most of the sightings were in visions... almost as sceptical as he is about Cooper's talk of the giant who gave her clues. At One Eyed Jacks things are going badly for Audrey; she has been captured by Blackie and injected with heroin; Blackie intends to force her father to pay a ransom but things get complicated when Jean, the third Renault brother, turns up; he wants her dead; along with Agent Cooper who he holds responsible for his brothers' deaths.

This episode advances the plot nicely and even has an arrest... not for the murder of Laura Palmer though. We don't see much of what is happening to Audrey but what we do see is enough to let us know that she is in real danger; not resolving her situation this episode kept the tension high. Among the tense moments there were some laughs; Albert continues to be entertaining in his own abrasive way but when he told Sheriff Truman that he loved him it was laugh out loud funny! Also when Nadine wakes up and shocks Big Ed when she breaks the restraints she was held in; sits up and acts as though she is still eighteen it was pretty funny; I'm interested to see how that develops. The episode finished well with Donna finding a copy of Laura's diary at the house of one of the Meals on Wheels customers; why it was there and what Laura's relationship with him was remains a mystery though.
