Ciao-

Well, I believe that the clue concerning "one without chemicals will
point the way" (sorry if this is worded incorrectly, please don't
flame me, I'm not wearing my Laura Palmer brand shades, & thus
not in a S&M mood.) refers to Dr. Jacoby. The scene in the hospital
has Dr. Hayward question a nurse as to Jacoby's odd (more than normal
that is) behavior asking her want is he on. She replies that only
what he (Hayward) prescribed, but he did eat a little food (obviously
a joke going along with the bad hospital food motif). Then in
walks Coop & he questions him about the tape, etc. Jacoby procedes
to say that Laura had decided to confort her problems, intimating
suicide; to which Coop denies. Yet, Jacoby goes on to imply that
though she may not have physical killed herself, she had a hand in
on the job. I have, upon reading the diary, felt that it was a
suicide. Okay so here is my theory. A long time ago people on
the net questioned the letter and under the nail, why the "r."
Someone mentioned that the letter "t" on the blackboard 
referred to "T" for "Teresa"--we now know that there was a "t" written
on the blackboard during Coop's Tibetian Baseball thingy. The same
person went on to say that what if the "r" actually referred to
"R" for "Ronette," & somehow Laura & Ronette got switched. Now,
I think this makes sense if you follow the suicide thingy. Laura
was involved in some heavy stuff, maybe she had a part in the
quasi-satanic murder of Teresa Banks, because of her involvement
with Killer Bob, or BOB. Anyway, it was to be her job to lead
Ronette to the slaughter. But, with her finally discovering who
BOB actually was. All her personality problems, her acts, etc.
she decided to end her life, & what better way to do it then
to switch with Ronette; having BOB, Killer Bob, whatever it
is think he is killing Ronette, hence the "r." Thus, at the end
during the remembrance/dream, scene the apperaed grief of the
attacker is as a result of his/its discovery of whom he/it
actually killed.

Now- I still say BOB her original molester, either Leland, Ben,
& I still cannot possibly rule out Doc Hayward, family night
at the Haywards sure was weird. On thing that made me freaked
was Harriet's poem, it was echos of Laura's dark, depressed poems
in her diary; seemed a little to similar for me. Then the way
the poem goes on about Laura coming in to see, her shades of BOB
& Laura. I think that BOB also refers to the psychological effected
Laura, or possessed Laura. Now does BOB=Killer Bob. Maybe the whole
thing about this dark force causing the inhabitants who follow
him/it/them to do this bestial things could be correct. A dualistic
universe, & a dualistic Twin Peaks. A world of Light/Goodness, &
One of Darkness/Evil...
