If this is truly the last episode of Twin Peaks ever to air, I think that this scene does in some way represent the best and most daring of the approach for which TP is now justly famous (if not appreciated). The White Light thing happened again, our Special Gifted Agent sees the destruction of Josie and the ever-corrupting influence of BOB, Truman being helpless to stop any of it. The inexplicable dancing dwarf returns-- a code for the final inexplicability of Twin Peaks. Josie in the drawer knob? Can't figure it out, but it sure was creepy, and typical of the original visuals of the series. If this was the last shot, I'm glad it looked like this. (Did anyone notice that in this episode they reproduced almost exactly the original opening shot of the show, i.e. the back of Josie's head as she is putting on her makeup?) I mean, if TP has to go out, it HAS to go out on a dream sequence! Adieu, TP. Nous avons les ames solitaires. s -- ///////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Elizabeth E.
