Thinking about the implications of Audrey calling Cooper "my special agent" and how it momentarily suggests the possibility of Cooper being a special agent by some criteria other than the FBI's. Because to me it's equally true that "special agent" is like a soul descriptor for Cooper and his identification of himself with the FBI screams maladaptive coping mechanism.

taking away dale or lauras capacity for harming other people and treating either of them as if theyre unquestionable beacons of goodness, quickly makes twin peaks such a boring text btw.

Just the repeated action, over and over- Ben grabbing Audrey and forcing her to look at him, Mike grabbing Donna and shaking her, Bobby making Shelly turn and look at him, Leo pinching Shelly by the cheek when he talks to her, Andy turning Lucy to look at him, the guard in the brothel grabbing Audrey for Blackie to grip her face, Hank making Josie look at him- grabbing by the arms, the shoulder, the face.

So often women lifted up like little dolls, forced to be looked at, forced to look. Their attention is coerced, their bodies are malleable. Be it outright assault or attempts at care, either way these girls cannot even pretend, avoid, ignore, look away. Their body is not their own.

Dale is so quickly smitten by the town, this old-fashioned holdout, full of decency and good people. Why, beyond the obvious- the surrounding landscape, the personal closeness of the residents, the food?

Dale was born in the 1950s, his childhood and early adulthood would have been shaped by the many transitions in American society during the 60s and 70s- the Vietnam war, the Civil rights movement, Roe vs Wade, no-fault divorce across more of the nation, increasing access to birth control, the list goes on.

Looking at Dale's particular strain of chivalrous mysogyny, I think it's pretty clear that Dale likes Twin Peaks- falls for Twin Peaks- because it reminds him of his childhood. That simpler time that we remember wistfully, when things seemed easier and normal and safe, whether or not it truly was.

It's easy to joke about just how many people are committing adultery in the town- that's part of the point. People haven't been getting divorced. Andy and Lucy clearly didn't plan on a pregnancy. It's more important to be polite and civil, than to speak the truth in public. Or seek it. This is familiar. This is known, even if Dale doesn't fully "know" it. Dake trusts the institution of the family, their control over Laura's body, more than his big-city forensic experts desire to gain more information. Dale wants the illusion, even as he seeks the truth. He wants to save and protect Laura, but he can't put her before the town.

Dale doesn't have any secrets.

You know, that’s twice you saved my bacon, Audrey. Could be talking sainthood. Is there anything I can do for you? How about an ice cream? Cup or cone? Cone. I like to lick.
