Laura (Seasons and The Lake):

Remembers Dale as a dark shadowy figure haunting her, but she’s able to escape him. She has no idea who he is. She doesn’t think of Bob at all (you could say it’s because of her corruption and memory loss).

Dale (Case 23, Theatre and Paradox):

Remembers Laura as a murder victim who appears to him as her age and as an older woman. She haunts him. While Dale remembers meeting Bob in Theatre, he does not remember their conversations. He remembers Bob committing suicide and becoming corrupted again. He remembers using Bob to get the cubes and being threatened by him, even being followed to the elevator.

Bob (The White Door):

Remembers Laura and Dale as normal people. Even when they appear inhuman, they talk like people who mean no harm. He imagines her regretting their break-up. He has secret memories of Dale comforting him in a bar. He has a dream where he and Dale meet at a club, and Laura is there dancing until things go wrong. The most hints we get of Dale’s manipulation is Dale saying “I need your memories” after Bob gets corrupted. The Laura he remembers was an artist who was struggling with her sadness.

I know Rusty Lake is taking inspo from Twin Peaks (which had Dale kiss Laura, but at least not fall in love with her), and Twin Peaks took inspo from Laura 1944 (which had the older detective fall in love with Laura before finding out she was alive).

But RL has only referenced TW, so it’s unlikely, but the thought of it is killing me. We’re not gonna do this ok! We’re not doing this!

i am not okay.
