Episode 7 - Realization Time

Tuesday Dec 06, 2016
Wherein Aidan and Lindsay dive into the unseemly world of One Eyed Jacks with Agent Cooper and Audrey Horne, pay a visit to the Johnson Family Farm with Bobby Briggs, and watch Donna, James, and Maddy listen to cassette tapes like any good red-blooded teenagers (only instead of the latest Fine Young Cannibals album, they get to hear their dearly departed friend admit her deepest, darkest secrets to her creepy psychotherapist...six of one, really...)
Also: Leo is angry! Catherine smells insurance fraud! Ed wears a wig! Cherry stems!!!

The opening title sequence features a Bewick's Wren (or a Varied Thrush...depends on who you talk to!) You can read more about the opening titles here
Vertical Service Codes, which are how one might access a feature like *69/1471 to call back the last number that called you, wasn't truly widely available until the 90s, so it's doubtful this could have been in use here.
