Audrey was one of the characters I took an instant dislike to because of how two-dimensional she appeared to be. But in this episode other sides are shown to her. As well as being just a pain for just about everyone, she's shown to care about Laura's death and she is shown to be able to make difficult choices in how she handles Cooper in the hotel room. She's up to her own plans in this episode, although it'd be nice if it was clearer what exactly they were. We know she is going to work at One Eyed Jack's but what exactly she's trying to achieve is unclear in a kind of irritating way. There's no denying she has a very flexible tongue though.
Outside of Audrey's antics, this episode contains some shocking hints about Laura's past. Waldo meets his demise at the hands of Leo's shotgun. Now we know he was connected to Laura's disturbed past and therefore in some way to her death, but this doesn't mean he killed her. There's something really unsettling about hearing Laura's cries of her abuse from the recording of a bird that is now dead. It just shows how you don't have to show something in graphic detail to unsettle the viewer.
What's funny is that James and co are actually doing more effective detective work than Cooper, who seems to drink coffee more than doing anything useful. Waldo could have led him to Leo if he'd been there when Leo tried to shoot him but he was probably off drinking coffee. There's something eerie about when James looks at Maddy and sees Laura, and we see the look on Donna's face.
The success of this episode will partly depend on the payoffs in the season finale as a number of plot threads are heading towards their climax but not quite there yet.
