The vocalists are out in force this week! Carl Rodd and Rebekah Del Rio bust out a couple of beautiful tunes—albeit in very different ways—in this sad and tragic and/or bright and hopeful episode. It’s definitely not all bad news: Albert and Constance are having a lively conversation around the dinner table, and there’s magic in the air at the Jones residence in Rancho Rosa! Rub that vision of Laura Palmer out of your eyes and come down and join us for The Return, Part 10: Laura is the one….
