S2E22 “Beyond Life and Death” (Part 1)

So we’ve made it to an ending for the original series of Twin Peaks. In this first half of our coverage of Episode 29,  your host John walks you through how the episode was written —and then rewritten by David Lynch— before parsing through the final Log Lady Introduction. Then he takes you through the endings of all the storylines anchored to the town of Twin Peaks, including supernatural connections and the contents of the original script.
