The grand return of David Lynch's cult TV show, Twin Peaks, brings back old faces and introduces new.
Continuing the narrative left behind and so frighteningly tantalised in the series finale from the original run of the show, which saw a demented Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) smash his face into a mirror as the face of Bob peered out, we've now seen his confirmed doppelganger run amok in the real world.
The real Dale Cooper, once trapped in the Black Lodge, has also finally managed to escape; he's now been mistaken for another doppelganger, Dougie Jones, and has been taken into the Jones household. It's here that we're introduced to Naomi Watts' character in the show, playing Dougie's wife and mother to their son, Janey-E Jones.
Watts is one of David Lynch's most beloved collaborators, having so famously played the lead in 2001's Mulholland Drive, so it's likely we'll see more of Janey-E and learn a little bit more about her in the coming episodes.
Michael Cera's role, on the other hand, may not be much more than a quick (and hilarious) cameo; he's been revealed to be playing the son of Twin Peaks Police Department receptionist Lucy Brennan (Kimmy Robertson).
We learned of Lucy's pregnancy back in the original series of Twin Peaks, particularly her uncertainty as to whether the goofy Andy Brennan (Harry Goaz) or narcissistic Richard Tremayne (Ian Buchanan) was the biological father. One look at Wally, however, seems to suggest the former.
