She had a contract. :-) |> Don't be so sure. Recall that in the bank blast scene, a pair of eyeglasses is thrown through the air. None of the characters we know was wearing glasses at the time. Yes, Andrew Packard often wears specs, but at the time he did not. (I don't recall whether the bank clerk had glasses but I don't think so.) Therefore, the glasses were either Andrew's (torn from his pocket) or those of someone at the front of the bank. Furthermore, the vault is way at the back of the bank. The eyeglasses were thrown out the front. It had to have been one hell of a blast to do this. No one in the vault was likely to survive. Next, consider things from a plotline. Audrey was becoming a character of little significance. Audrey's chaining herself to the vault was to serve one of two purposes. First, according to Audrey, the move was one of civil disobedience. Since this would be completely overshadowed by the story of the explosion, Audrey's move would be rendered futile. Audrey never did anything futile. Second, it is an excellent way for her to make an exit with a bang. (pun intended.) Would Ms. Fenn want to leave the series? Certainly. Many new opportunities have been opening up for her. Heck, Kyle MacLachlan, with a much bigger role, himself wanted out. Face it, it was a great way for a character to leave. And remember, in Twin Peaks EVERYBODY dies. The only character to leave without dying was James Hurley. If you must drool over Ms. Fenn, look for her in upcoming shows.
