Introduction for TP "first-timers"
Back during the first run of TP in the spring, there were many arguments
here concerning the chronology of events -- what happened when in relation
to what else? And so, I was inspired to create this timeline, which puts
all events shown or referred to in their proper chronological sequence.
I posted a few versions of this Timeline, adding to it as each episode
revealed new information. I stopped a couple of episodes short of the
entire first run, mainly due to shortage of time, but also because the
ending of the season made a final update seem less compelling. I decided
to refrain from posting it during the summer reruns so as not to spoil
things for the First-Timers. Here is the final update through the end of
the First Season. I've also noted items from the audio tape "DIANE..." THE
TWIN PEAKS TAPE OF AGENT COOPER, which include reports, with timestamps,
not mentioned on the show itself. Any time notations taken from this tape
rather than any of the televised episodes are flagged with an asterisk.
Notes indicate where such entries may conflict with the episodes. I have
decided against entering items from THE SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER, which
conflicts much more than the "DIANE..." does.
Whether I will continue this during the Second Season remains to be seen.
I will most likely do so after the Season Premiere, but after that...?
****************************************************************************
DANGER! DANGER! WILL ROBINSON
There are entries from "DIANE..." that cover the morning after the First
Season Finale. Some of these may be considered spoilers, so be warned.
****************************************************************************
Note 1: The series is set in February/March of 1989 (that's when the
pilot was filmed), so all dates are assumed to be for that year
unless otherwise specified. The days-to-dates mapping confirms
that the setting in 1989. THE SECRET DIARY OF LAURA PALMER, it
should be noted, moves everything up a year to 1990.
Note 2: The show seems to be relatively consistent in advancing one day
with each episode. There are a couple of minor exceptions in which
an episode starts off where the previous one left off before going
on to the next day. The major exception is the final episode, which
in its entirety takes place on the same night as the previous one.
Note 3: Parenthetical comments, such as "Harry to Cooper" following day or
time notations indicate how the time of the event was determined.
The notation "Cooper to Diane" is intended to mean his dictations
into his tape recorder. Lengthier notes of how the time was
determined follow the entry.
****************************************************************************
1983 ("Six years ago" - Truman to Cooper)
-- Andrew Packard brings Josie over from Hong Kong to be his wife.
August 1987 (approximately)
-- Andrew Packard dies, supposedly in a boating accident. Truman first
tells Cooper that Packard died "last year", which would have been
1988, but later tells him that it happened "a year-and-a-half ago".
The latter is more probable for reasons I can't reveal yet, but
which may be obvious to the observant.
-- Hank Jennings "accidently" kills an unnamed vagrant, is convicted
of vehicular manslaughter, and sent to jail. (He's said to have
spent 18 months in jail.)
05 Feb (Sunday) or
06 Feb (Monday)
-- "Day One" (entry in Laura's diary). Day One of what? Laura and
James' relationship is my guess. During Cooper's questioning of
James, he asked what happened on 2/5, and James flashed back on
the time he gave Laura the locket. On the other hand, when Cooper
is looking at this page in the diary, the date at the top of the
page says February 6. Cooper did say to Diane that he had flipped
back 18 days to "Day One". That could be 18 days from 2/23 (the
last entry in the diary), yielding the 5th, or from 2/24 (the day
he was looking at it), yielding the 6th.
