(Meanwhile, the Woodsmen and Ray vanished.) Ray made a panicked call to a man named Jeffries.

But the Woodsmen were completely indifferent to his presence, and Ray was able to break away from the horror, the horror. I got the sense the Woodsmen generated a magnetic field that trapped people within their locality, even drew people close to them. Ray was horrified and transfixed by the spectacle, and maybe stuck within it. Also, it’s my girlfriend’s birthday, and I promised I’d celebrate her with an energetic, attentive presence unimpaired by a recap-broken brain. But for now, I’m okay to just delight in that weirdness and (to borrow from a song recently heard on The Leftovers) let the mystery be. Example: the shot of the BOB embryo harvested from Dirty Cooper. I do hope Lynch and Mark Frost offer some illumination for what we saw here in the episodes to come, especially since some of it was literally hard to see this was a dusky, dim episode, appropriate for a story about spiritual darkness, but some things were hard to make out. So I’ll try to be disciplined in my theories. Explainer is mostly speculation, and the last thing I want to do is confuse you more than you might be. Still, everything I have to offer in the way of being Mr. We will! We should! Part 8 was this show’s version of Lost’s “Across the Sea” episode - a big bang creation myth for the evil that haunts Twin Peaks America, an origin story for the show’s cosmic horror predators it was Lynch’s version of a ’50s sci-fi/horror movie, spliced with some pure cinema philosophizing about the nature and fate of mankind reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is not to say we won’t be trying to understand it in this recap.
