Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who discovers Laura Palmer's body?

Answer: Pete Martell

Pete finds a woman's body wrapped in plastic, washed up on the shore of the lake near his home Blue Pine Lodge. The body is not identified as Laura until Doc Hayward and the Sheriff arrive on scene.

2. A group of potential investors are staying at the Great Northern Hotel, what country are the from?

Answer: Norway

This group of Norwegians were considering investing in Ben Horne's Ghostwood project, but have returned home by the end of the pilot episode. Their sudden departure occurs after Audrey Horne wanders into their meeting room and "accidentally" mentions that there has been a murder in town.

3. According to Shelley, what is the likely reason for Heidi (another waitress) being late for work?

Answer: "Jump starting the old man"

Shelly: "What kept you Heidi? Seconds on knockwurst this morning?" Heidi: "I...I couldn't get my car started." Shelly: "Too busy jump starting the old man, huh?" This dialogue is also repeated in the final episode, where Shelly and Heidi share the exact same conversation when Heidi is late for work once again.

4. Who is the first person we see being questioned regarding Laura's murder?

Answer: Bobby Briggs

Bobby is initially questioned in the school library when he is first told about Laura's death. The other men on the list are also all suspected of being involved in the murder at one time or another during the series.

5. What is the name of Ed Hurley's gas business?

Answer: Big Ed's Gas Farm

Big Ed's Gas Farm is a popular location for the first few episodes, but we see less of it as the show continues.

6. What is the name of the hospital where Agent Cooper and Sheriff Harry Truman first meet?

Answer: Calhoun Memorial Hospital

Calhoun Memorial is kept pretty busy throughout the run of the show, especially at the beginning of season two, when several of the townsfolk are hospitalized at once.

7. What letter does Cooper find underneath Laura's fingernail?

Answer: R

This is one of the key aspects which links Laura's murder to the murder of Theresa Banks.

8. Who has the other half of the heart pendant?

Answer: James

Donna overhears her father talking to the Sheriff about the heart pendant, and thinks that whoever has it will automatically be accused. She urges James to get rid of it, and the two of them together bury it - though we see a gloved hand unearthing it later.

9. At the town meeting, Cooper explains that Laura's murder is similar to another case, the murder of Teresa Banks. This took place a year earlier in which corner of the state?

Answer: South West

The parallels between the two murders are what led to Agent Cooper being assigned the case. More about the Theresa Banks case can be learned from watching the prequel movie 'Fire Walk With Me'.

10. When discussing the local wildlife, what kind of rabbit does Truman tell Cooper he probably saw?

Answer: Snowshoe

Whilst chatting before the town meeting starts, Cooper comments that he saw a cottontail rabbit, but Truman tells him it was probably a snowshoe.
