Noisy Freaques

Headcannon: Albert's dad was a cop who got killed on the line of duty. Albert was going through a punk stage, cleaned himself up and went to college before joining the FBI which caused a rift between him and his mom.

I don't see Albert Rosenfield as being gay. I used to ship him and Dale but the more I watch Twin Peaks I honestly don't see him being interested in being with anyone, and I definitely think he's straight. He does his job, and he's good at it, he doesn't need validation either, which is why he doesn't really have many friends. He respects Cooper, and eventually Harry I think after seeing how much Harry means to Dale. I think what comes through initially is jealousy, but not out of love, more like he's afraid of being replaced by the one person he seems to have an actual human connection with. He doesn't respect many people, but he does respect Cooper.

(Also it's obvious he thinks he's better than Harry so it's probably difficult for him to understand why Cooper holds Truman in such high regard.)

After Leland dies, standing against the tree he's quiet, distracted and shaken.

As we see him in season 3, he's obviously alone, assuming he's never married or had any type of long term relationship as he's dedicated himself to the Blue Rose. As much as he connected with Constance, he doesn't strike me as the long distance relationship type. I think he misses Cooper dearly, and probably hasn't had a good night sleep since he disappeared.

The part that broke my heart was the end, when Cooper comes back and subsequently disappears with Gordon and Diane. How horrifying must that have been for him, to have the last 2 people he loves taken from him, and on top of that Cooper never acknowledges he's even there.

He left the station alone. All of the time he spent, dedicated his life to searching for Cooper, came down to that moment and Dale dissapears.
