In which we delve into the mythos of Twin Peaks, following the mysterious disappearance of Major Briggs during his and Coop's night fishing trip.

Also! Ben goes to the movies! Nadine joins the wrestling team! Josie sleeps in! Doug Milford gets hitched! Whyyy is James hanging out with Evelyn Marsh and who the heck cares about Little Nicky Needleman?!

Notes:

• A brief history of laptop computing
• We were wrong (not the first time, won't be the last)--malteds and milkshakes aren't the same thing. Here's an explanation of why

• And just for fun, here's the opening credits sequence to Season 1 of The Mod Squad. (Also...did you know Peggy Lipton released a psychedelic soft rock album?!)
