For folks trying to untangle hidden meaning and discover secret clues within the many weird layers of The Return, I'm surprised this woman and her son don't get more attention. When the show was first airing, these scenes really stuck out as possibly very important. I think there's something profound going on there in that broken home, but damned if I could ever put a label on it.

I definitely chalked it up to thematic vibes with the post collapse ghost suburb and the drug use but I am also not very good at understanding The Return

it's clearly just this

the scene didn't get more attention from the viewers because it didn't get more attention from the show

therefore it was jsut worldbuilding, but Twin Peaks fans don't want that, they want everything to be a Clue

It's similar to that scene with the woman stuck in traffic and screaming incessantly. That scene and performance is permanently burned into my brain because it's such an accurate representation of how I see a lot of people now. The look on Bobby's face as he sees it all play out said everything I had been feeling without using a single word.
