"The entire sequence is Twin Peaks in microcosm, a gradual shift from the (relatively) ordinary to the abstract, as circumstances escalate from the dramatic to the dark and inexplicable. Just when you think you have a handle on where it’s going — say, a commentary on Twin Peaks’ younger generation and the mistakes bequeathed to them by birthright — Lynch hits you with something unexpected, a reminder that his internal logic dictates where Twin Peaks is going. We can only chase breathlessly behind."

In that sense, it’s about the return of mercy. (Not of innocence, because innocence lost cannot be regained and knowledge gained can’t be lost again. Laura knew that.) Maybe most of all, it’s about Agent Dale Cooper’s lingering return from a quarter-century on another plane."
