A new season begins with much more challenges and excitement that follows the daily activity and struggle of Dale Cooper, a young intelligent FBI agent, who investigates on the murder of a young girl, the thing that challenges him, as he reveals more horrible secrets. This season begins with a similar murder that reopens the old case of Palmer.
Another episode under the direction of Lynch lends to the continuing re-establishment of the Twin Peaks' aesthetic, and him at the helm of the season's first two episodes meant the weird-quotient got turned way up.
If the season premiere functioned to resolve and clarify the flurry of events that concluded the first season, this episode introduces many of the new characters and subplots that will take root in Season Two.
This is maybe the least memorable of the six Lynch directed episodes of the series, but still, any Lynch episode towers over most of the others, so that's not really a complaint.
So you may be asking yourself, what could be more terrifying than the sight of Laura Palmer pulling a Linda Blair? Did you answer "mysterious creamed corn?" Good, because the answer to that is "mysterious creamed corn."
