There were shocks aplenty in the fourteenth chapter of Showtime’sTwin Peaksrevival.
There was a long-promised trip, and unexpected reappearances, and a cameo by a famous performer playing themselves.
But surely the most unexpected and delightful!

surprise was that the person who received a profound download of transcendent information was…Deputy Andy Brennan!
I’ll also have a full recap of the episode later tonight/early tomorrow.
(UPDATE:Read the full recaphere.)
Diane revealed that her estranged half-sister is a woman named Janey-E married to a man named Douglas Jones.
It’s a recurring one, apparently.
She brought friends; Agent Cooper was there, though his face was hidden.
And then she continued, with a question: “But who is the dreamer?”
Then she told Gordon to turn around.
This was a black-and-white repetition of a scene fromTwin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
With a special focus: the moment when Jeffries (David Bowie!)
pointed at Cooper and said, “Who do you think that is, there?”
Jack Rabbit’s Moat
The sheriff’s troop of explorers set off into the forest.
They walked the appointed distance into the forest.
The woman was Naido, last seen in Part 3 falling into space.
The shock of seeing this supernatural being again was only mitigated by the sudden return of an even-more-supernatural being.

Now we have a name for him: He is the Fireman.
The Fireman sat down across from Andy.
Returned to the world, Andy seemed newly assertive.
He told his fellow officers they had to take the woman to safety.
“She’s very important, and there are people that want her dead.”
and just down the row from a strange bleeding urinating drunk.
Weird: The drunk kept repeating everything everyone else said, Dougie-style.
Piledriver Fist
James might still be cool at the Roadhouse.
James was intrigued by this story.
But they had to finish up work for the night.
It was James' birthday; lets hope there’s a party.
Sarah Palmer, or Is She?
Sarah walked to the local bar to get a Bloody Mary.
A man at the bar propositioned her, and then it got worse.
He called her awful names and he swore he’d do awful things to her.
Inside her face: black and white, smoke, a hand, something more?
“Do you really wanna f with this?”
And then she bit his neck right off, vampire-werewolf style.
“We got a dead one at the bar!”
I have some theories, but need to rewatch the scene about 10 times before I say anything more.
Billy Again
Another evening, another strange pairing of curiously unfamiliar characters at the Roadhouse.
One woman said she lifted a sweater from Paula.
Another woman asked about Billy.
You remember, Billy: Audrey’s lover, last seen by Tina?
This woman was Tina’s daughter, and she saw Billy, too.
He jumped over a six-foot fence.
He had blood coming out of his nose and mouth.
Was her uncle there?
Or maybe everything that has ever happened is a dream?
The MC introduced Lissie, who sang a song about the wild wild West.
