Since all three of these French-Canadian brothers are given minimal screen time in relation to the more major characters, and because they are in cahoots with each other, I have lumped them together to form one gigantic, Voltron-esque Twin Peaks Freak of the Week.

Here’s why these three brothers are such freaks:

1. The Canada scenes take place in British Columbia, not Quebec, yet these dudes are so fucking French. What gives? Three dudes named Jean, Jacques and Bernard being based out of this area of Canada is über-weird.

2. Jacques is a big fat guy who boned Laura Palmer (who didn’t?) and got shot (somehow) by the man with the worst gun-toting skills in Twin Peaks, Deputy Andy Brennan. These two points expose two things: Laura Palmer will fuck anything that moves and Andy Brennan isn’t as much of a dolt as everyone thinks he is.

3. Jean deals with Blackie. Not only is Blackie’s name a conundrum, she is also a junkie and a pro at One Eyed Jacks. Anyone that deals with Blackie is a freak, seeing as she would get her own week on this list if she appeared on screen more. What’s more is that Jean is an even bigger freak than Blackie, as he outsmarts her in his bid to take over the business.

4. The brothers are never shown together on screen. How they conduct business without ever meeting face-to-face while remaining an integral part of the plot is anyone’s guess. Too bad after reading Lynch on Lynch I discovered that David won’t disclose anything important about his work.
