Subject: Donahue and possible spoiler-- From: sally@eris.berkeley.edu (S. A.

Today, Monday the 21st, I tuned into Donahue on my local channel, channel 3 which services the Sacramento Valley, CA, but no Twin Peaks cast. In its place was a show on racism. Did anyone else have this same problem? Is the station which Donahue is shown here behind a day or more? Is there a chance that someone could help me by giving me an indication when the TP episode of Donahue might be on--I am in the middle of final papers and thus not able to check everyday for myself? POSSIBLE SPOILER concerning last week's preview of the season finale. Okay much of what was shown were scenes from past episodes, but the last scene, the car chase definetly was new. Looking at the scene I see someone who appears to be wearing an orange shirt; whoever it was was getting out of a big car, a cad or continental, when he/she is surrounded by squad cars. So I looked back to see who was wearing orange, but could not find anyone, the closest person was Donna. Also interesting is that Coop and Ed are the ones with the big car, a new cad for their One-Eyed Jacks sojourn. Did anyone notice this? Was anyone able to pick out who it might be? And is this just a false clue, and the person being aprehended is not the murder, but envolved in one of the other numerous sem-illegal activities? As for Leland, was I the only one who thought it was strange that in the pilot, when HST came by to tell about Laura, that he immediately assumed that she was dead; he did ask if she was hurt, and how bad. Seems to me people first assume that one is possibly badly hurt, but not dead for they do not want to admit the worse, hoping it is not true. Maybe Leland then is envovled. Either the incest theory is true, or (I lean toward this theory) that to be apart of Ben's elite group he sacrificed his daughter to him as a plaything--though a little of both could be true. I doubt he actually killed her, but her death was not a complete shock to him, her dying had always been a possiblity as a result of her lifestyle, a style impossed upon her by him. Also, the scene where Leland dances around with Laura's pic has always bothered me. I might be completely loony, but it seems to me that it is Mrs. Palmer whose hand is actually cut when the glass protecting the picture breaks; Leland then rubs his hands on hers, bloodying his hands too, and then he proceeds to wipe the blood onto Laura's pic. Another possiblity is that they both cut their hands, but it was Leland who wiped the blood on the pic. Can anyone possitively confirm or deny this. Can someone re-check and see if this is true before flaming me for being totally out of the ballpark. If I am right then that could change a lot, that either it is Mrs. Palmer who is the one with the blooded hands, and Leland is innocent, or they both are guilty, but she more than he. Someone posted that she could be some sort of a Lady MacBeth, if the way I saw the scene is right then this theory might be correct too. She is a Lady MacBeth who conviced her husband to engage in something, possibly an involvment with the Horne's which resulted in Laura's association with them, an association which Leland believes caused her death, hence his behavior. It seems to me that Laura is a personification of Twin Peaks. Just like within her corpse there are numerous secrets to be discovered not only of her death but many others concerning the town, within each episode of the show there are to be found numerous clues which point to the murder, yet which also point to the various goings on in the town. Wednesday morning, off to buy donuts and start brewing my coffee, TP that night at 10. sally
