Spoiler alert: this blog is for Twin Peaks viewers who have seen episode seven of The Return, showing on Showtime on the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK. Do not read on unless you have watched.

Frank then reveals a nicely-woodworked PC monitor when he Skypes with the moral centre of the Twin Peaks community, Doc Hayward.
