I remember someone describing previous episodes as having
themes such as the "birds" theme and the "secret passageway"
theme. I think the theme of the seasons opener is probably the
"distorted faces" theme.

Examples:

1) Audrey's cat mask

2) Donna's taking Laura's sunglasses - and Maddie losing her glasses

3) The cigar that never seems to leave Ben's lips - ditto the
cigarette and Big Ed. The cigar is a fairly obvious Freudian symbol,
too. And Donna's starting smoking too, I forgot.

4) The final scene, of course.

I guess this could be generalized further to include Lelands hair...

I think the distortions that have been obvious on an intellectual
level are now being physically materialized.
