Twin Peaks Episode Guide.
Warning! This contains numerous plot spoilers.
I stayed up for days pausing and rewinding to write down major plot points for this, and lines for the Humor section, and thought I did a pretty good job. Then I read Television Without Pity's, which was like 15 pages per episode. But I just went to link it for you, and it's not there! I'm back on top!

Pilot Episode: "Northwest Passage": Director: David Lynch

Ben Horne attempts to get the Norwegians to buy Ghostwoods, and we learn that Bobby and Shelley are having an affair. The principle makes an announcement at school that Laura is dead; Donna and James both cry while Audrey looks cool. Hawk takes Laura's diary from the Palmer home, and we learn that Ronnette Pulaski is missing. Josie and Pete shut down the mill for the day against Catherine's wishes. We then see Ronnette coming over the bridge, bloody, dirty and almost naked. Introducing Special Agent Cooper, who informs us that Twin Peaks is "12 miles south of the Canadian border and 5 miles West of the state line." Cooper finds the letter "R" under Laura's fingernail, and finds cocaine and a safety deposit box key in Laura's diary. Audrey scares the Norwegians away. Cooper watches the tape of Laura and Donna's picnic, tries to find the biker he sees there. Cooper and Truman find half of gold heart necklace and the words "fire walk with me" written in blood on a piece of paper in the train car where Laura was killed. In Laura's safety deposit box, they also find a copy of Fleshworld magazine with a picture of Ronnette, a personal ad from Leo, and \$10,000 . James and Donna flee the roadhouse to bury the other half of the necklace, because she knows that it will incriminate them otherwise. We learn of Josie and Truman's affair. Ending:
