| Twin Peaks | comment |
The cult classic television series Twin Peaks has spawned several successful books due to its popularity. During the show's second season, Pocket Books released three official tie-in books, each authored by the show's creators (or their family) which offer a wealth of backstory. Other books would follow over the years, including two that were also released before and after The Return. Three of these books—The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer by Jennifer Lynch, and The Secret History of Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier by Mark Frost—have been declared canon by Word of God.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Downer Ending: A lot of the Twin Peaks residents are revealed to have suffered this in addition to the already nasty fates revealed in The Return. Annie Blackburn is revealed to have been catatonic for the remainder of her life after returning from the Black Lodge, rendering Agent Cooper's Heroic Sacrifice pointless. She only says two words every year, "I'm fine." Audrey is revealed to have never reconciled with her family and ended up in a loveless marriage with her CPA. She's also a terrible wife to him, verbally abusing him as well as cheating on him. This is in addition to having a monster of a son. Major Briggs was murdered by Cooper's Doppelganger not long after the events of the show. He, thankfully, Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence. The Hayward family disintegrated after the events of Twin Peaks with a divorce and most members of the family refusing to speak to one another for decades. Gersten Hayward is revealed to have been Troubled, but Cute with no ability to function in normal life despite her genius IQ. Subverted by Donna Hayward who after living a turbulent life of jet set luxury, returned to Twin Peaks and reunited with her father. | |

Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory | |
| Twin Peaks / int_54d6f53f | comment |
Ripple Effect-Proof Memory: Preston notices that people in the area of Twin Peaks apparently can only remember the new timeline that was created by Cooper at the end of The Return, namely that Laura Palmer merely disappeared rather being murdered, something which local newspaper archives also state, even though everyone with knowledge of the case at the FBI still remember that she was originally murdered, which is also supported by FBI's own archives on the case. More disturbingly, when Preston visits Twin Peaks for a couple of days to do research, she notices that her own memory and previous knowledge of the Palmer case begins to fade and is slowly replaced with the new version of the events, so she decides to get out of town as quickly as possible. | |

Cosmic Retcon | |
| Twin Peaks / int_7cdfe326 | comment |
Cosmic Retcon: invoked Agent Cooper caused Laura Palmer to "disappear" rather than be horribly murdered. It's implied everything else that happened still did, however, making this a Downplayed Trope. The only overt butterfly effects of this change that Preston mentions that she is able to identify during her investigation is that Leland, instead of dying in police custody, ends up committing suicide one year to the day of Laura's disappearance. Per Word of God, another result of the altered timeline is that Maddy Ferguson is "almost certainly still alive." | |

Time Crash | |
| Twin Peaks / int_98c95895 | comment |
Some dates and details about characters are inconsistent and—in some cases—even outright impossible when put under scrutiny. Mark Frost has stated that they are all wholly intentional, and has offered an in-universe explanation for them; namely that some were deliberately planted by Douglas Milford to test Major Briggs's worthiness as a successor to the title of the Archivist. And of course, others again can be explained by Cooper altering history in The Return, and thereby breaking the timeline(s) something fierce. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Twin Peaks / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: Leo Johnson's fate was Left Hanging but he's confirmed to have been killed after being left with a box of tarantulas over his head. There's a little Take That, Us since it's mentioned tarantulas aren't lethal, so Leo was shot to death by an unknown third party (but speculated to be Windom Earle). | |

Drugs Are Bad | |

Drugs Are Bad: Laura's worst actions and lack of care about getting people killed are all done while under the influence of cocaine. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Twin Peaks / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Some dates and details about characters are inconsistent and—in some cases—even outright impossible when put under scrutiny. Mark Frost has stated that they are all wholly intentional, and has offered an in-universe explanation for them; namely that some were deliberately planted by Douglas Milford to test Major Briggs's worthiness as a successor to the title of the Archivist. And of course, others again can be explained by Cooper altering history in The Return, and thereby breaking the timeline(s) something fierce. Annie Blackburn seems to have been excised from Twin Peaks' history with Norma's maiden name not being Blackburn and a different winner of the Miss Twin Peaks contest. This is contradicted by The Return and got reconciled in The Final Dossier—Annie is Norma's half-sister through an affair her father had and got her last name from her stepfather, Roland Blackburn. Pete is said to play checkers, not chess. Pete is a grandmaster chess player in the show. Then again, this particular discrepancy can be explain by the fact it is an in-universe assessment made by Deputy Hawk. Norma's mother died with her father when she was a child, which is impossible as her mother showed up in the show during one of Norma's major plots. Also explained in The Final Dossier, her "mother" was in fact her step-mother (well, sort of—it's rather complicated), and her father hadn't died at the same time as her mother; the reference to him being "lost" was in fact referring to him having abandoned his family. Audrey is protesting the Ghostwood Project to get back at her father when she was doing it for her father in the show. | |
