The parallel mirror-image framing of the two BOB reveals in TWIN PEAKS (Ep. 14 x Ep. 29), each culminating in an identical turn over the left shoulder to the camera. It seems fitting that these reveals should be accompanied by a breaking of the fourth wall; the illusions have been shattered.

The construction of these scenes should feel familiar, as they parallel the similar setup of the very first moments of TWIN PEAKS' pilot: Josie gazes into the mirror at her reverse image (painting it with makeup, itself a type of illusion-making), then turns over her left shoulder to the camera.
