So I'd be shocked if someone hasn't mentioned this yet somewhere, but having recently finished Twin Peaks: The Return and having some time to process it all, I'm starting to think that the Fireman's home dimension might be the same world Eraserhead takes place in. Obviously both are shot in black and white, but they've also got a similar weird logic to them. Everything's quiet and eerie, and a lot of what happens in both realms is incredibly vague and supernatural. I could be reading too deep into it, but idk, I thought it might be interesting to share.

Here is a theory for Series 3:
When Coop is trying to get out of the lodge world in Part 3, he walks towards a plug socket with the number 15 over it. Naido then pulls him away and pulls the lever thing to change the number to 3 (I assume). Cooper then goes back to the socket and all of him is drawn into the no. 3 socket. I'm guessing that means he is transferred into the current Part 3 of the series, rather than Part 15. Part 15 is when he sticks the fork in the socket and becomes full Cooper (after the coma). Perhaps Coop's memory went into Socket 15 when he initially approached it and he had to survive until Part 15 to catch up with it.. Mike's message to him is you just need to survive: "Don't die" x3. Perhaps Naido wanted Coop to experience the everyday suburban life as Dougie to improve his soul, or something.
Also, when Jeffries says "this is where you'll find Judy", the number 8/infinity sign appears. I wonder if this is a reference to Part 8, when Judy enters the world during the atomic bomb test at White Sands, but also a reference that Judy (evil) is infinite.
In Part 6 there is a close up of a telegraph pole at the Fat Trout Trailer camp with the number 6 on it ....
So, Coop (bad and good), Laura, and Judy, are moving between worlds (the TV Twin Peaks world) and our reality - our side of the screen. Coop moves from Twin Peaks TV world into our reality in part 18 (which is hyper real, no background music), bringing Judy's infinite evil into our world - cue horror scream from Laura as we hear Sarah Palmer (possessed by Judy) scream and the lights go and out, signifying Judy's arrival into our world.
<p>Hello everyone, I wanna know why Sheryl Lee is credited at the end of each episode of the third season when she only appeared in the second episode to date?

<p>Just some thoughts I've compiled with regards to when exactly <i>Secret History</i> takes place in relation to <i>The Return</i>. Here I've placed arguments in favor of it taking place before and arguments in favor of it taking place after.
</p><p>Before (<i>The Secret History</i> is 2016, <i>The Return</i> is sometime after that):
</p>
- TP mentions in <i>Secret History </i>that Agent Cooper skipped town in the early 90s, and has not been seen since. If The Return takes place in 2014, then we know for a fact she has seen him, which would mean the Return would have to be after <i>Secret History</i>. This early 90s date also puts the doppelgänger’s departure during that time period, which the show claims happened right after he returned from Glastonbury Grove, and when Major Briggs was killed.
- Of course, Mark Frost has had a couple of issues with dates and stuff in TSHTP, so we’ll have to wait on that front.
- TP mentions in her notes (on pages 312-313) that Jeffries has been missing since 1989, and that she has some basic information on him. In Part 4, she asks who Phillip Jeffries is, and when Albert simply says he’s a former agent of the FBI, she expectantly listens, as though she’s been waiting to find out more about him after seeing his name in the dossier.

- It goes both ways.
- Agent Preston mentions she has been taken off active duty once she finishes the first dossier. She’s definitely working at the start of The Return: in fact, she’s already investigating a different murder.
- Cole’s opening letter mentions the dossier was recovered from a murder scene under active investigation and may be related to Cooper’s investigation. We’ve been getting vague hints that the murder of Ruth Davenport had something to do with the Black Lodge and may have been committed by the doppelgänger. There’s also a fan theory (though I myself am doubtful about it) that the unknown body belongs to Major Briggs. Was the dossier recovered in Ruth Davenport’s apartment? Will the investigation continue after the season is over?
- Or, and I shudder to consider this…could the murder happen later this season?

It’s somewhat unlikely the season will end without her murder being solved (but hey, they never wanted to solve Laura Palmer’s murder).
- It took TP almost a month to read and annotate the dossier. When would she have time to do that this season?
