First, a thougts on Leo setting fire to the mill:
Each episode has been a day.  Leo is supposed to wait three
nights for the signal to proceed with the burning.  Thus this
places it in episode seven.  My guess is that one of the last
scenes will be Leo setting fire to the mill and that we will
have to wait til the fall to find out what happens to the mill,
just as we have to wait til the fall to find out about the killer.
(Though this could all go up in smoke, please pardon the pun,
if the blood on Leo's shirt does match Laura's or Ronnette's
and he is sitting in jail.  Though Cooper and Truman would
would probably try to tail Leo and find out who else is involved.
And what if it does not match the blood from either?)

I assume that the green light that Ben referred to is the traffic
light which has been so prominently been displayed previously.
Now is this just foreshadowing, or is there someone else who
is waiting for an appropriate signal?

Second, One Eyed Jacks:
I doubt that Lucy has any connection with it.
Two, it is almost a sure thing that Laura worked there, to pay for
her drug habit.  Ben mentioned that the new girl was "freshly
scented from the perfume counter" which could imply the following:
Dissolve some cocaine in some of the perfume (perhaps that would
be given to the workers themselves) so that after a while they
would be addicted to the stuff and then offer them a job at OEJ
as payment for their habit.  (Would dissolving cocaine in perfume
actually work?)  How else could Laura afford her habit?

Third, man in woods watching Leo, Bobby, and Mike:
This could very well be Jacobi.  He knows that Laura saw (met?)
a strange man in the woods and could have gone out there to look
around.  His lifelong investigation is probably merely
his reflection upon his failure to get through to Laura, which he
could feel contributed to her death as he was not able to help
her end some of her "wild" behavior.

Fourth, traveler:
The killer is someone who has an opportunity to travel.  Remember
from the pilot the murder of Teresa which occured in the southwest
corner of the state?  From what we were given TP is in the northeast.
Who do we know that travels?  Leo Johnson?  The one-armed man?
Also why was the man that Laura saw in the woods strange?  Did she
not know him?  Was he not from TP?

Fifth, finally back to the flesh world mystery:
Now that Cooper has been to Leo's place perhaps he will recognize it
next to Ronnette's picture.  Though that man looks more like
Jacques than Leo.  Another connection?  Espeicially as from the
previews it looks like they are going through Jacques' apartment
when they find it.

Lastly,
The "R" under Laura's fingernail.  Initial of the next victim,
Ronnette?  Or the killer, Robert?  What was the letter that
was under Teresa's fingernail?  We never did see that talk
between Cooper and Truman.

Yes, I was urging Josie to not go out in a boat!

I am still eagerly waiting for Cooper to find out about/meet Madeline!!!!!


"Diane,
It is nine-thirty pm.  We are at the sawmill which is on fire.
The blaze started in the west end of the building and is being driven
by through the building by the wind.  Mmmm, the smoke from those Douglas
Firs smells wonderful."

"One woman can make you soar like an eagle,
 Another can give you the strength of a lion,
 But there is only one woman in your life
 Who will make you know that you have shared a singular thing."
