10 Confusing TV Show Questions We Still Don't Understand

3. What Did Laura Palmer Whisper To Dale Cooper - Twin Peaks

TV Show Mysteries Twin Peaks

One of David Lynch’s quintessential works, Twin Peaks combined suspenseful horror, good versus evil allegories and a generous helping of urban fantasy to create a mix that fans still remember fondly.

Being a typical Lynch story, it offers up the usual blend of mind-mending plot twists and continuously escalating mysteries. FBI agent Dale Cooper’s quest to solve the murder of Twin Peaks resident Laura Palmer ended with a fair few unanswered questions. One of the most talked about among them were Laura’s final words to Dale.

The very last scene of season three sees Dale tracking down a woman he believes to be Laura. After arriving back in Twin Peaks, all he finds is Carrie, a person resembling the murdered homecoming queen. But when she hears Laura’s name, Carrie begins to scream, triggering a blackout.

When the lights come back on, we see the Red Room and Laura whispering something into Dale’s ear. To this day, fans continue to speculate as to what stunning revelation may have been hidden within those muffled words.
