Fire Shock With Me, Episode 12
“He Just Needed to Clear His Head”
In this episode of Fire Shock With Me, we’re covering five episodes of Twin Peaks Season 2: “Dispute Between Brothers,” “Masked Ball,” “The Black Widow,” “Checkmate,” and “Double Play.” This is the show’s most infamous stretch — a chaotic detour filled with soap opera distractions, tonal breakdowns, and subplots so far removed from the murder mystery that we start to wonder if we’re watching the same show. Evelyn Marsh appears. James leaves town. Coop locks someone in a room. Ben Horne thinks he’s in Gettysburg. And somewhere in there… Windom Earle finally shows up.
