Perhaps the writers or Lynch/Frost are not yet through with developing
this 'owls are not what they seem' concept?  The last scene with the
owl could be taken in any number of ways, ie, it's an open-ended scene.

However, one thing that caught my eye is the scene that immediately follows
the owl flying through the air scene... some person (Ed, Hank?) is shown
flying through the air..  Could there be a connection?  Nah, too obvious.

But if the woods are also not what they seem, then the owls would most
likely have to stay close by or remain in or around the area of Twin Peaks.  

I don't think we've seen the end of "BOB", as the character is much too
fascinating to simply throw away.  He may lie low for awhile and then sneak
his way back into the plot when we (supposedly) will least suspect it.

I think that Sarah knew about Leland's molestation of Laura.  Note the
way she reacted to Leland's comforting of Maddie in the scene where Maddie
told them she was leaving (a couple of episodes back).  I guess we'll
have to wait and see what Sarah has to say at Lelands wake/funeral (if
she says anything at all).  But I'm sure that someone will have told her
that it was Leland that killed both Laura and Maddie.

Wyat Earpe (oops!) Wyndom Earl should be an interesting addition to
the storyline.  Perhaps the reason he was in that asylum is due to his
being possessed by some entity like BOB?  This would help to explain 
why BOB knew about Cooper's troubles in Pittsburg.  But I think we'll have
to find out more about what really happened there before any conclusions
can be drawn on just who WE really is or represents.

Whether or not Leland was read his rights in the jail cell doesn't matter
now, because he died of self-inflicted injuries before it could become an
issue in any court of law.  He was also out on his own recognizance with
regard to the murder of Jacque Rennault (sp?) anyway, so would this not
have any bearing?  I too think that it was BOB that rammed Leland's head
into the jail cell's door.  The sudden water sprinkling was a plot device,
and even if the water hadn't turned on, Bob/Leland would have done or met
with the same end.  The water just added to the intensity of the scene.

Albert was subdued because of Cooper's intentions.  He may have also
received a reprimand from his boss and was simply being cool and collected.
If he is to come back in future episodes, I think more of his fun-loving
pernicious attitude will be back.
