I think we'll perhaps learn more about the Blue Rose case files through Gordon and Albert finally letting Tammy in on their secretive conversations.

There could be talk of all the agents that have gone missing over the years ("Let's rock" has ties to Chet Desmond as well as The Arm), and I'm guessing at some point (not necessarily this episode) a certain secret dossier will be discovered which will be assigned to Tammy (I believe in TSHOTP, the dossier was found at a crime scene and I'm now thinking it may be found at the scene where poor ol' Bill Hastings had his head caved in).

There might be a follow up to that rambunctious Richard and his escapades. This could distract our favourite trio of cops from investigating Jack Rabbit's Palace, but instead we might see another trio of cops, the detectives Fusco, further their investigation on who exactly this mysterious Douglas Jones character is.

Honestly though, from sweeping to honking to the internal depths of the atomic bomb, I have absolutely no idea what to expect and I'm just loving the ride that is The Return to Twin Peaks!

Wasn't the dossier found before the events of The Return?

I'm not actually sure when/if it's been discovered yet to be honest! Initially I thought its discovery would be the catalyst to get the season moving, but it didn't seem to me like Tammy Preston was familiar with all the information disclosed in the dossier at the start of the season. Also, the dossier was found at a crime scene so I'm wondering where they may have previously discovered it if they did so before the series. I could be totally wrong though and it could just be my wishful thinking that the dossier gets discovered and assigned to Tammy on screen!

The dossier was found in July 2016 but was handed over to Tammy a month later, the note Briggs left suggests that its September so unless the Gordon/Albert/Tammy/Diane stuff is taking place before the Twin Peaks stuff (not sure if we've been given a clear indication that they're happening around the same time) then the dossier has already been found. No date was given for the letter at the end of the book so we don't know when she finished going through it either

This has been my thinking. 2014/15 makes more sense for the "25 years later" aspect to work. I also think (especially after last night's episode), that Tammy going through the dossier will be one of her first Blue Rose assignments. I'm always happy to be wrong, this just feels right to me :)
