The rest of the film sticks closely to Laura Palmer; we discover that, since the age of 12, she has been raped by the demon Bob, who glides in through her window at night. We also see her sniffing cocaine in the school toilets and travelling northwards, across the Canadian border, where she’s pimped out by the sleazy Jacques Renault in a bar from hell. These events had already come to light in the series through Cooper’s investigation, but seeing them play out reminds us that long before she met her grisly end in an abandoned railway car, Laura’s soul was already lost. Like Blue Velvet’s Dorothy Vallens, Mulholland Drive’s Rita and Inland Empire’s Nikki Grace, Laura is a classic Lynchian woman in trouble.
