I'm also totally confused, but I agree, Audrey does not appear to know about who has to be her son, Richard. Have no idea who Chuck is. Shocked at the husband. It does appear to be a marriage of convenience with Charlie.
Chuck is also a shortened version of Charles in the US as I understand it. I'm of English origin but married to an American. I did hear the US media call Prince Charles and Lady Diana Chuck and Di.
Now in this episode(which in the rancho rosa screen had red as the background with white and black in the middle), we get something like the form/prototype of the exceptional/special desire(Audrey was this to agent cooper, 'my special agent', etc.), what is 'manufactured' by the 'lodges'/ruling ideas for people to follow etc., what should be the desire, and types of people they desire, etc. Notice how Audrey's conversation here is basically a prototype for the one that follows in the bar: Audrey has gone mad while Billy, who is she is desperately chasing, is with Tina whom she hates; in the bar: the woman the two girls are talking about is on the verge of going mad because the man she is desperately chasing has been seen with Mary and is 'spreading it around'. Then there is the husband/Charlie the dwarf(seems like a psychologist/analyst of some sort) who Audrey is trying to force into all kinds of dangers and completely disrespects, cheats on openly, threatens that her boyfriends(Paul) are going to harm; then we have Trick who had to break house arrest(the dwarf Charlie who would not leave the house, break house arrest), nearly get killed by a maniac on the road, etc., just to get to that bar and the two girls respond like Audrey would about Charlie the dwarf, well 'whoopee' hes here, big deal, etc...; also there is Chuck in the Audrey scene who is something like Richard, stealing the truck, etc., then in the bar scene there is a guy driving like a maniac, like Richard who hits the kid, who runs him off the road. Richard/Chuck/crazed driver is sort of like someone completely over the edge by the entire situation, cant be placed in the mafia mentality(Red humiliates Richard) or in the sleazy cheap desire of the people at the bar and Audrey/Cole(was tied up like Johnny by Sylvia, his lady friend Mary Anne was with Red, etc.), Richard is completely out of the entire corrupted frame/law imposed by Cooper/Audrey, but just goes to destruction instead of solving the problem in reality. Dont think Billy is actually the farmer who Richard took the truck from, just showing how this form of how desire/exception to the law/rule is given to all different people, the wild behavior is sort of the 'law of desire'....what is this law/form...?
There were so many new names thrown around I lost track. But I believe the guy in the roadhouse was "Trick."
There are a few names in that scene. Chuck, Paul, Bill and Tina. Maybe the only one we've heard it's Bill. Remember the scene at the diner when Austin Lynch (credited as Bing) shows up and asks if anyone has seen Bill? I think it could be related.
This Austin Lynch (Bing) turns out to be Mrs. Tremont's grandson in FWWM.
Bing is played by Riley Lynch, not Austin Lynch. They're brothers. Both DL's sons.
On Audrey and Richard not being mentioned together or by each other so far, I think we should still consider the slight possibility of them not being mother and son. Ben saying Richard never really had a father could also mean he's Johnny's son, who obviously could not have acted as a father in way similar to what Ben remembers of his father. I'm not saying I think he's Johnny's, but I think it's still not impossible.
