Hi, guys. About Leland and Sarah's revelation that Laura was dead, I
think that David Lynch did an excellent job in building the tension and
not bluntly revealing the facts. My interpretation is that, while Leland
was still saying "Maybe she's out with Bobby. . ." and Sarah has just
exhausted her last possibility(maybe she went with Leland. . .), the
realization that something is terribly wrong hits Sarah first (Mother's
intuition?) and quickly spreads to Leland.  Any fears they had of the
worst possible scenario are confirmed when Harry shows up looking for
Leland.  Leland mentions Harry's arrival to Sarah over the phone, at
which point she correctly infers that something is terribly wrong. And
I think that the actor who plays Harry (forgive me, I'm terrible with names)
did a brilliant job of expressing, and confirming what Leland was praying
not to have happened, just in his eyes and his face. (As Agent Cooper
noted, his body language really does give him away. . .) I don't think
anyone needed to be psychic to know what was going on.
