Twin Peaks is returning in less than two weeks with its much-anticipated season 3 premiere. To get up to speed on the major events of Twin Peaks and the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, here's as brief a synopsis as we could muster.
Be warned: major spoilers ahead.

When the body of homecoming queen Laura Palmer washes up on the sleepy shores of Twin Peaks, the small Washington town goes into an absolute panic. Meanwhile, Laura’s classmate Ronette Pulaski is found wandering in a catatonic state near the train tracks. Enter Special Agent Dale Cooper, sent in by the FBI to investigate. Cooper quickly finds a link between Laura and Ronette’s attackers and the murder of a young woman named Teresa Banks, whose corpse was found in similar circumstances the year before in Deer Meadow — wrapped in plastic and with a tiny letter slipped under her fingernails.
FBI Special Agent Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley’s investigation of Teresa’s murder had taken them down a deep rabbit hole. During the autopsy, they realized she was missing a ring. This was later confirmed when they found a photo of her wearing the ring at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, where Teresa lived. Desmond eventually returned to the trailer park, where he found the ring (bearing the Owl Cave symbol) underneath the trailer of a Mrs. Chalfont and her grandson. Desmond then disappeared. Laura saw the ring in a nightmare once, in which Cooper somehow appeared from the future and told her not to take it.

Cooper’s investigation of Laura’s murder a year later reveals more than a few dark secrets. Laura was cheating on her boyfriend Bobby Briggs with a biker named James Hurley. And she was addicted to cocaine. And she and Ronette had been moonlighting as prostitutes at a brothel called One Eyed Jack’s, owned by wealthy businessman Ben Horne. Horne’s other ventures include recruiting girls out of his department store, running the Great Northern Hotel, trying to keep his mischievous daughter Audrey in line, and sleeping with Catherine Martell, whose sister-in-law Josie Packard owns the sawmill that Ben and Catherine want to destroy so they can build a country club.
The web of deceit runs deep in Twin Peaks, giving nearly everyone in this idyllic town something to hide. Sheriff Truman and Josie are a thing. James and Laura’s bestie Donna become a thing. Laura’s boyfriend Bobby has been cheating on her this whole time with a waitress named Shelly Johnson, behind the back of Shelly’s abusive truck driver husband Leo Johnson… who, by the way, employs Bobby to deal the narcotics he gets from the Renault brothers, a group of sketchy French-Canadians with varying ties to One-Eyed Jacks. Even James’ uncle Big Ed is having an affair with the owner of the Double R Diner, Norma Jennings, while Norma’s sketchy husband Hank is in prison and Ed’s wife Nadine obsesses over… drape runners. There’s also a lady who talks to a log.
Despite the small town drama, Cooper and the team only have a few leads, but it’s clear from the start there’s something supernatural at play. Cooper has a dream about a one-armed man named Mike and a long-haired man named Bob, whose Laura’s mother has also seen.
Sheriff Truman, Deputy Hawk, and Big Ed sit Cooper down to explain that there’s evil in the woods around the town before introducing him to their club: the Bookhouse Boys, a secret society dedicated to defending Twin Peaks from darkness. Meanwhile, Laura’s eerily identical cousin Maddy shows up, shocking Laura’s dad Leland, and Laura’s mom Sarah gets a police sketch of Bob made, which Cooper recognizes from his dream. Deputy Hawk also manages to track down the one-armed man from Cooper’s dream: a shoe salesman named Phillip Gerard. Gerard points them in the direction of a different Bob — a veterinarian who treated Jacques Renault’s pet bird, Waldo. The bird doesn’t just help incriminate Jacques, but Leo too, after it’s recorded saying, "Laura? Laura?" and "Leo, no." The team attempts to arrest Jacques, but he’s shot in the process, and later killed in the hospital by a hysterical Leland. Leo gets shot too, after Horne hires Hank to take him out to ensure his silence about the sawmill arson.
That same night, Cooper returns to his hotel room only to be shot by an unseen gunman. And that’s when things get weird.
