"Part 18", also known as "The Return, Part 18", is the eighteenth and final episode of Twin Peaks revival series. It was written by Mark Frost and David Lynch and directed by Lynch. "Part 18" was broadcast on Showtime along with Part 17 on September 3, 2017, and seen by an audience of 240,000 viewers in the United States. Although it was initially met with mixed to negative reception among the fanbase, the episode achieved instantaneous critical acclaim.
The small town of Twin Peaks, Washington, has been shocked by the murder of schoolgirl Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) and the attempted murder of her friend Ronette Pulaski (Phoebe Augustine). FBI special agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) has been sent to the town to investigate and has come to the realization that the killer was the father of Laura, Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), who acted while possessed by a demonic entity—Killer BOB (Frank Silva). At the end of the original series, Cooper was trapped into the Black Lodge, an extra-dimensional place, by BOB, who let out Cooper's doppelgänger to use him as his physical access to the world.
Twenty-five years after the events, Cooper manages to escape the Lodge by traveling through a portal between worlds; during this process, Cooper was supposed to replace the doppelgänger (now known as Mr. C), but instead he takes the place of a second doppelgänger (known as Douglas "Dougie" Jones), fabricated by the first as a patsy for the exchange. Mr. C, exhausted from the process, crashes his car and passes out, allowing the police to capture him; he subsequently manages to escape, dividing his time between his search for an access to "the Zone" and organizing his minions' attempts to eliminate the now catatonic Dale Cooper, who is mistaken by Douglas Jones' family and colleagues as the original Dougie. After numerous attempts, Mr. C finds the rightful coordinates to access the zone; he is redirected towards the Twin Peaks Sheriff Station, where the real Dale Cooper is also arriving after awakening from his incapacitated state. Mr. C is shot by Lucy Brennan (Kimmy Robertson), the Station's secretary; when BOB, in the form of an orb, tries to escape, he is punched to his destruction by Freddie Sykes (Jake Wardle), an English boy with a Lodge-powered gardening glove. One of the station's prisoners, Naido (Nae Yuuki), turns out to be Diane (Laura Dern), Cooper's assistant, trapped by Mr. C in a deformed body. Cooper then travels through time to the night Laura Palmer was killed, seemingly successfully impeding her homicide.
