Plot

Background

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^[2] 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).^[3] 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.^[4]

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 decoy for the exchange. Mr. C, exhausted from the process, crashes his car and passes out, allowing the police to capture him;^[5] he subsequently manages to escape, dividing his time between his search for access to "the Zone"^[6] 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 correct coordinates to access the zone;^[7] he is redirected towards the Twin Peaks Sheriff Station, where the real Dale Cooper is also arriving after awakening from his incapacitated state.^[8] 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.

Events

In the Black Lodge, Mr. C burns. MIKE (Al Strobel) creates a new Douglas Jones, who rejoins his wife Janey-E (Naomi Watts) and his son Sonny Jim (Pierce Gagnon). Cooper leads Laura Palmer through the woods of Twin Peaks, when she suddenly disappears with a scream. Cooper sits in the Lodge, during a sequence similar to one shown before. MIKE asks: "Is it future or is it past?"^[9]^[4]^[10]^[11] The Evolution of The Arm asks "Is it the story of the girl who lived down the lane?"^[9] Cooper eventually leaves the lodge, where he is greeted by Diane at Glastonbury Grove.

In the morning, Cooper and Diane drive 430 miles to a desert location next to a power line. Diane asks Cooper whether he still wants to take on this task. Cooper warns that once they cross "everything could be different."^[9] They drive through an apparent portal, which takes them to a deserted highway at night. When they reach a motel, Cooper checks in, whilst Diane briefly sees another version of herself. Diane and Cooper have sex in their room that night, but Diane is visibly distressed. The morning after, Cooper wakes up in a different motel room to find Diane gone. He finds a letter from a woman named Linda, addressing a man named Richard: the woman is gone and she asks Richard not to search for her.^[12] Cooper drives to Odessa, Texas; while driving, he finds a diner named "Eat at Judy's."^[9] There he stops three cowboys (Matt Battaglia, Heath Hensley and Rob Mars) harassing the waitress Kristi (Francesca Eastwood). Cooper asks Kristi whether there is another waitress working there, but he is told that she has the day off and is given her address.

Cooper drives to the home of the absent waitress (Sheryl Lee) who, despite looking like Laura Palmer, is confused when Cooper calls her Laura, and identifies herself as Carrie Page. When Cooper insists that she is Laura Palmer and offers to take her home to Twin Peaks, Carrie, who is already eager to leave Odessa, agrees to follow him. As they drive through the night, Carrie begins reminiscing about her past in Odessa, and how she tried to keep a clean house despite not knowing any better. When they arrive at Twin Peaks, they pass by the Double R Diner before parking in front of Palmer House. Carrie, however, does not recognize anything. Cooper knocks on the door, but a stranger (Mary Reber) answers instead of Sarah. The woman identifies herself as Alice Tremond, and, after speaking to her unseen partner, she tells them that they bought the house from a certain Mrs. Chalfont, that they do not know who was the prior owner or who Sarah Palmer is. Cooper thanks her, and he and Carrie walk away, perplexed. Cooper hesitates and turns again towards the house. While walking mechanically, Cooper absent-mindedly asks "What year is this?"^[9] Carrie turns to look at the house and hears Sarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie) screaming "Laura." She suddenly screams like Laura; at that moment, all the lights in the house go out, and everything shown onscreen is plunged into darkness.

Production

"Part 18", like the rest of the limited series, was written by Mark Frost and David Lynch and directed by Lynch himself.^[13] Frost had already written ten episodes of the original series — the "Pilot" and Episodes 1, 2 and 8 with Lynch, plus Episodes 5, 7, 12, 14, 16, 26 and the original series finale, Episode 29. Lynch also directed six episodes of the original series — the "Pilot", "Episode 2", "Episode 8", "Episode 9", "Episode 14" and "Episode 29".^[14]

Music

Almost every episode of the 2017 Twin Peaks series featured a live performance by various bands at the Roadhouse, with this episode being one of the exceptions. The song "My Prayer" by The Platters is used in the episode, during the sex scene between Diane and Cooper; the song had already been used before in the show, during the closing scene of Part 8.^[15] One of the founding members of the group is a singer named David Lynch.^[16] The episode's credits are underscored by an original musical composition by Angelo Badalamenti; the piece was eventually released in the September 2017 soundtrack album Twin Peaks: Limited Event Series Original Soundtrack under the name "Dark Space Low."^[17]

Reception

"Part 18" received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode received an 88% rating with an average score of 8.58 out of 10 based on 24 reviews.^[18]

Writing for IndieWire, Hanh Nguyen awarded the episode an "A," defining the sex scene between Diane and Cooper as "one of the most disturbing and fraught scenes in the series," and expressing the necessity to regard "this finale as a true ending to the Twin Peaks saga." She ultimately praised the episode as a "brilliant and no doubt controversial ending for a show that had come back after 25 years to leave fans wanting yet again."^[19] In her similarly positive review of the episode, The A.V. Club's Emily L. Stephens gave the episode an "A-" stating that the episode smashes Part 17's "answers to pieces and poses more staggering questions", ultimately enforcing the "bitter, brutal truth that closure is a luxury, not a guarantee."^[20]
