#the white lodge

The Waiting Room’s zig-zag floor pattern indicates a number of things. One is that it is neither The Black Lodge or The White Lodge but somewhere in between. Another is that although it is neither lodge, spirits from both lodges can still access it. Even another is that in season 1, episode 3 (“Zen or Skills to Catch a Killer”), the floor pattern is on Leland Palmer’s jacket, linking him to Laura’s murder.

Thenumber three is an important number in The Waiting Room. There are three chairs, three spirits, three lamps and three main circles of light. In all of The Waiting Room scenes, there are always three spirits in the room. The Waiting Room is also one of the three parts of the extradimensional place; the other two being The Black Lodge and The White Lodge.
