CW: Sexual assault, domestic abuse, and incest

For the third installment of THIS AMERICAN LIFE, Heaven and Mason analyze the film, TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME. They discuss the facade of Suburbia, the Knight and Shining armor motif that runs through this film, specifically with the characters Dale Cooper and James. They also revisit the Dead Girl trope and why art gravitates towards using dead women as character devices to move a story forward, as well as how the cycle of abuse can seem never ending.
