Fucking Nut House!

Twin Peaks: the Return part 14 
We are like the Dreamer
David Lynch & Mark Frost
Snoqualmie WA & Los Angeles CA 2017





Chad, the dirty Deputy, locked in the jail cell forced to listen to the chirping, twittering, jabbering and mimicking of Naido and the man with the bleeding mouth (whom some viewers believe to be Billy) exclaims: Fucking Nut House! as he lays back in exasperation.  Given the Horne family’s history of mental illness it’s possible that Ghostwood is now home to a Hospital for the mentally distressed and that Audrey lives there. Sophie (Emily Stofle) admonishes Megan (Shane Lynch) for getting high in the Nut House and warns her to not go to that Nut Place.  Indeed, the term ‘nut house’ is used repeatedly throughout part 14, and Freddie Sykes the Great Northern Security Guard with the magic green glove (obtained on instruction from the Fireman) is first shown this time sitting on the loading dock pulverizing a couple of walnuts.  (It probably needs noting that his character is said to come from the East End of London Town, that is Wapping, where the old central docks on the Thames are located, and that the concept of a Police Force, and the model for those found now in the US, originated there in the last decade of the Eighteenth Century, as the Marine Police were formed by the Merchants to stop their working class dockworkers from pilfering.) Yes, everything is becoming more connected in this story, but expanding as well.
