Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
But that frozen look he gave her after that phonecall is priceless... I don't know where DL finds 'em.
Wedding rings...
I don't wear one and nor does Mrs Therapy.
Nor do I for that matter.
OK, so, for me, Audrey's first scene was very mysterious. After rewatching the episode a second time, I feel very strongly that that man cannot truly be Audrey's husband. Something else has to be happening. I feel awful that I have these feelings about it, and I've said this elsewhere, but honestly Audrey would not be so open-minded as to marry a little person unless something else was happening. This is the most WTF thing that has happened IMHO this series. Is Charlie really Audrey's husband?
I am a Registered Nurse, teach nursing and see everything through a medical lens-it is a curse. I interpreted this scene another way.
1. Audrey was in a comma, and went through a very traumatic event-possibly being raped by Mr. C and giving birth while in that comma-who knows? She will more than likely be "damaged" and Spend a lot of time in a therapy setting.
2.Mental health therapist make "contracts" with their patients, often the patient agrees not to harm themselves or others and agree to follow the therapist or doctors orders. If they break the contract they can no longer continue to therapy, or live in group home.
3.Charlie may not be a doctor or therapist but is using those tools. Or he is and is being paid big to break ethics. (By Mr C?)
4.The phone call Charlie made seemed completely bogus,he didn't call anyone, like he made it up to satisfy her obsession over the dream and keep her from leaving.
Hmmmmmm..........but what do I know, I am still convinced rashy armpit chick who is pointing up without chemicals\drugs and the sound her scratchy nails make is important ?
Much agreed although I add that while Audrey is possibly still in coma or not, half of her brain was missing from the bank explosion. She looked awfully good for someone who survives that.
Yes Brandy, I agree completely, she totally does!! I may be willing to go through a bank explosion if the real life result would make me that beautiful!
I always loved Audrey's intelligent, spicy, character and Sherilyn Fenn looks amazing!
Their conversation seemed very awkward and like they were just reading off queue cards. I wonder if this was intentional.
And as someone has mentioned in another thread, Chuck is most often short for Charles. Thought this quite odd.
It almost seemed like Charlie was Audrey's therapist.
I've yet to watch it a second time. I've been pondering whether Audrey is in a facility and he as one of her caregivers / therapists is indulging her paranoid delusions, or some sort of dissociative behaviour. To help her feel safe he's conjured up some kind of contract, but given her condition she's prone to abusing him. He may have created a whole reality for her to feel safe and heal, so talks to them on the phone, assuming he was talking to anyone at all.
The more I think about it, the more plausible it seems, because there was something really twisted about that whole scene and augmented by no mention of her by Ben or Frank, or anyone at all yet in the Return.
I've been miles off before so wouldn't be surprised to be again...
I think all of you may be on to something here. Your therapy theory would account for:
a) the complete absence of mention of Audrey by any of law enforcement or the Hornes
b) the lack of emotion of Charlie to Audrey's attacks. He was saying the right things, but saying them kind of rote, without the proper injury.
He was also sitting there passively with his pen and paper. Stereotypical therapist stance.
The contract definitely had me maybe thinking this wasn't a normal marriage, but now that I've read all this, I may be leaning towards the therapy theory. I don't know though.
The title for the next episode is "What story is that, Charlie?"
I have it on good authority, "The Honorable Name of Charles Society", that my boy Charlie is the key. He will bitch slap Cooper awake, stare at Jerry until his senses are returned, successfully operate on that poor woman Richard tried killing, cast mother/experiment into nonexistance, use the power of his words to damn Billy to hell for messing with his woman, leave Audrey for fooling around, keep Bob as a pet blob in his fish bowl, and living happily ever after with the woman he saves from the lodge, Annie.
My fellow peak fans, the Charlie has arrived, our hero's will all be safe now.
But that frozen look he gave her after that phonecall is priceless... I don't know where DL finds 'em.
The actor nailed it there...I think he knows either Billy is dead or Audrey is pregnant with his child....
His phone conversation seemed like someone barely tolerating the other person wanting to keep talking when he was trying to end the call.
But that frozen look he gave her after that phonecall is priceless... I don't know where DL finds 'em.
Also, I noticed that he seemed to become totally still. Totally. Almost like he was a puppet, and the puppeteer was done with that part. I know neither he nor Audrey moved much during the whole scene, but after he hangs the phone up he doesn't even look alive anymore.
