     Yeah, couldn't be Jacoby.  Wonder what made whoeveritwas think "Jacoby??"
     That's off the wall, even for Peaks. 
     Anyhow, it's pretty clear that either Jaques or Bernie Renault is
     standing by the tree.  It was probably Bernie, because he "mules
     the drugs over the border" and Leo is delivering the coke to 
     Bobby and Mike.

     For the tenth time: Afrikaans.  The language is a corruption (evoluton?)
     of Dutch (and more??) spoken in the South African region.

                        (sign says "HOTEL," not Lodge,
                         but the allusion of a connection
                         between the two has been made often
                         enough.)

     Excellent point.  I think there's enough evidence to support this
     conclusion even with the reverse shot from that scene with Ben
     never shot/cut (the reverse shot would have been Josie, IMO).

     Do you honestly care?

     This was settled as well.  The Closed Captioned dialogue indicated
     that it was Windom Earle speaking through Sarah, as did the
     script.  This explains everything, since Briggs and Earle have
     known each other for 20 (more?) years and Earle considers Briggs
     a major adversary.  
     Earle's intent, I think, was to inform Briggs that he had succeeded
     in locating/entering the Black Lodge (which had been their goal
     with Project Blue Book) and that Briggs had better watch his
     ass because he was next on Earle's hit list.



     Sounds like you have ^no^ remaining unanswered questions, except
     for the stuff about Dougie and Dwayne, which, to be honest, is
     little more than Twin Peaks fluff - and doesn't even make for
     especially good gossip.
