10 Most Messed Up Twin Peaks Moments
6. Sarah Palmer Tackles Harassment
Like so many other moments in Twin Peaks: The Return, this incident comes with the attached question: What the hell just happened?
Life only seemed to get worse and worse for Sarah Palmer. Having lost her daughter and husband in abnormally unpleasant circumstances, she appeared to be wondering through her old age in an alcoholic stupor, which is understandable given all that prior trauma.
This entire perception is shattered during the scene at the bar, where the seemingly defenceless Sarah is harassed by a decidedly nasty redneck. With no prior warning nor explanation, Sarah proceeds to pull her own face off, to reveal a flashing chasm of blackness within which appears a large set of grinning teeth. The unsavoury redneck then has a sizable chunk of his own neck bitten off, and that's the end of him.
To this day, we don't quite know why or for how long Sarah Palmer had been possessed by this fiendish entity. Perhaps it's only partially relevant, and perhaps the shock factor of this moment is all you need to take away. It's a memorable one.
