"Who killed Laura Palmer?" It's still the most vital question in the show and Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman are on the case.
Some of the characters begin to stand out in relief. Bobby's father, for instance. Deputy Hawk, a great tracker (who always comes back saying, "I lost him." Albert, who gets treated as he deserves.
The sadness continues around the death (my brother died shortly before the first episode so I can attest the grief is incredibly realistic; and thirty years later I'm coincidentally watching it again just months after losing my father) and the unspeakable Red Lodge weirdness that many think ruined the show is minimized.
Audrey really comes into her own as the sultriest person on TV in 1990.
Oh, and the totally inappropriate moments of laughter continue. Lynch and company had a way of turning tragic scenes on their heads to make us laugh and be ashamed we did.
At this point, in 1990, it's still the best thing on TV.
