Quick question: Has anyone wondered if Audrey is "Judy"? We can't play the fun letter-rearranging game with them, but the names both feature j and y sounds. 

Maybe every blue-rose-agent-gone-missing has his own Judy. 

I think there is someone somewhere who has thought that about every female, male, monkey, teapot, electrical pole, telephone, ring, log, playing card, etc. that has been shown or referenced could be Judy.  🙂

I'm betting on therapy session. Maybe there aren't other doctors around to save Charlie because the Horne family* set up a super-secret therapy program so that Audrey's trouble wouldn't be publicly known.

*And Mr. C could have helped. We saw him in the photo with Charlie. He might have had a relationship with Audrey and then when she figured out he wasn't Cooper, she went crazy--then Mr. C convinced Ben Horne that he ("Dale Cooper") is the balanced one and that Audrey needs psych treatment, and then he sends in his scientist friend Charlie (who helped construct the box) to serve as private psychologist for the Hornes. 

One funny thing: It was interesting to see tables turned with Audrey attacking Charlie. In a show so often about women being powerless against violent vile men, Audrey overpowering Charlie seemed to be a purposeful counterbalance. 

It's weird. I haven't seen Charlie as being horrible. A bit agrieved by Audrey. But fine otherwise.

The conversations and situations we observe at the Roadhouse are always at the same table.  I heard the theory about that table being Audrey.  I just don't get it.  Is Charlie trapped in the same table?  I hope it isn't true because then this is all we'll get of her.  After all, how does one get out of a wooden table?

The only Roadhouse table sequence that was at a different table may be the one with Richard.  It had the big No Smoking sign on the wall which I don't think we've seen since. 

Maybe Richard or Cooper has to sit at her table for her to get out. 

Oh, and Charlie is Audrey's cat.

Now I understand the benefits of owning a Formica table.

Or a glass table.  If someone's in there, you can see him/her!

And you won't have the Arm and Bob dropping by for dinner.  "Yes, Arm.  We know it's a formica table."

Josie was somehow trapped in wood after her physical body was dead, killed by Bob in a Great Northern hotel room. The Log Lady visited the site of the fire that killed her husband, and returned with a log which a myth says contained her husband's spirit. We never see Josie again, while the log told a meaningful story central to the film. These are the only wood- containment stories I recall.

Now what sense can we make of Audrey dying and her soul migrating to a Roadhouse table? Josie stayed right in the same room where she died , and the log story is myth. Audrey never hung out in the Roadhouse yet now we are to believe she snoops on people's conversations and weaves a fantasy life from them. All from under the table, sight unseen. This seems too goofy for Lynch's world. How did she get There? Why the Roadhouse?

There's got to be something a little more meaningful in Audrey's story line.

I'm really starting to think that many/most of the roadhouse scenes are all in James's mind. Not a lot to go on but I think he is the one major character from the whole series that we have seen in the Roadhouse multiple times.  But maybe the clincher is when he is singing the song on stage.... not a new version but the exact same soundtrack from 25 years ago, and also with two female backup singers representing Donna and Maddie.

Did anybody else at first think Charlie was a small person?  In the last episode he seems to be "normal" size standing and walking.  On further review, he may have false legs.  Great actor.  I love his sarcasm.

Interesting. His life hasn't accelerated a whole lot from where we left saw him. I think some of the Roadhouse scenes must be real because, after all, he did get hauled to prison this time. Interesting though, he was getting hauled to jail at the end of the original pilot. And Bobby was in there too. But this time, Bobby is on the other side, locking James in the cell.

Hmm, Bobby matured a hell of a lot from where he was. He also had a father tell him it would happen. James didn't. Could this be purposefully fitting with Ben's discussion of fatherhood, Richard seeking his pop, and Mark Frost's father (doc Hayword) appearing on a father's day episode? Seems to me fathers--along with elders' wisdom--has been a big theme of the season.

Right, that's my point. She's being cruel to him for no reason. I mean, obviously she's got problems, but he doesn't deserve to be mistreated--especially not violently attacked. So the genders are just swapped from a Leo/Shelly situation.

Although I hadn't thought it, I did agree when someone mentioned him demonstrating  some text book passive aggressive behaviour. Hard to know what the wider context is, but I thought intensive therapy, but now I wonder if it's one of those frustration dreams we have, e.g. where the keypad on a phone keeps changing as we try to call someone. It would be such a cliche, in a sense if at some point we cut to her in a bed waking up. But if so, how much of what we've seen would be in that dream? It would send the fans wild! 🙂 ROFL

I smiled at the scene this week as I immediately remembered the similar scene in the first series where Mike and Bobby were in the cells and James was brought in and the former two started barking and James had that look on his face. As I watched it, I wondered if either or both of them recalled when that happened to them.
