I viewed the previous episode again, in preparation for tonight's finale,
and was motivated to post a few questions, which probably won't ever be
resolved (sniff).

What the heck is that 'scarab' design anyway??  When Windom swept clean his
chessboard, he slammed down a stack of transparencies, and the 'scarab' was
on top.  Also, when Leo was admiring Shelly's face on the Queen of Spades, a
copy of the 'scarab' was tacked to the wall below the cards.  I know it was
part of the Owl Cave drawing, but how does it fit in with the whole White Lodge/
Black Lodge thing?

More evidence for the 'something happened about 20 years ago' theory:
1)  When Donna is researching her past in the Hayward attic (love that rotating
    fan!),  she flips past a picture of Will & Eileen that struck me as a bit
    odd.  Will is attired in black, with a black-with-white-dots tie and some
    black-and-white emblem I can't make out over his heart.  His face is smeared
    with soot or charcoal, and he has a grim expression on his face.  Eileen
    appears to be standing up (the picture is waist-up) and is costumed as for
    a masquerade party and is smiling.  ???  Perhaps Will just had some bad
    shrimp at the party?

2)  The Miss Twin Peaks contest is 20 years old.  Wonder who was the first?
    Norma Blackburne Jennings, maybe?
    
Call me crazy, but I don't think Annie's going to be killed off tonight.  Just
a wild hunch.

Also, from the TV Guide description, it sounds like Audrey makes it back safely
from her fishing trip with Pete to lead a 'Stop Ghostwood' demonstration.  So 
much for the "BOB -> Pete" theory.

So BOB made no appearance on the ABC TP commercial?  Maybe he won't "kill 
again"... yeah, sure.  I bet he faces off against Windom & Cooper in a 3-way
astral bout.  Unless, of course, Windom is hosting BOB???  I suppose BOB could
be in two places at once... probably old hat to a trained dugpa...

See you on the other side...
