Cooper's doppelgänger set up the glass box to catch Cooper and send him to the white lodge, which has now been infiltrated by Judy.
I meant specifically the mysterious millionaire/billionaire, I can't remember which anymore. What's his role? What did he expect to get out of it? Early on there was multiple theories (Jefferies, imposter Jefferies, Audrey) and nothing. Also I don't think it's a given the box was meant for Cooper. If the box was meant for Cooper, why did it send him right to a place where he could easily enter Dougie? If the plan is to send him into Dougie and then have Dougie killed, after about the second murder failure, why doesn't Mr. C just go and plug Dougie himself instead of sending nitwits to do it over and over? Was it really more important to track down Ray than kill the ONE person capable of sending him back? In the grand scheme it's not super important, but it's just one of the weird little things that never gets resolved that bothers me slightly.
There's just a lot of little things that still feel muddled. For instance, Cole somehow knows Jefferies isn't human anymore. How?
Somebody using the name Jefferies hired Ray to kill Mr. C. If it is Jefferies and he can communicate with the outside world enough to hire a schmuck like Ray, why not get word to Cole "the Cooper out there is bad" instead of "Hey btw I'm a little teapot, short and stout".
If you assume, like many here did, that the person posing as Jefferies was Sarah/Judy (based mostly on the voice on the phone in Episode 2 IIRC), why does she want Mr. C dead when he's already looking for her? To be reunited with BOB? Are we to assume then that BOB doesn't want to be reunited with mommy? If so why are they looking for The Experiment? To kill her? Considering how fucking powerful these beings seemingly are, they've got really roundabout ways of trying to get shit done. Personally I think it has to be Jefferies because if it was Sarah/Judy that means the coordinates Ray gives to Mr. C are from Sarah/Judy and match the ones Teapot Jefferies gives Mr. C for where to find Judy, which would mean not only do both Jefferies and Sarah/Judy want him dead, but they both are going to use the exact same trick to do it.
This dovetails into the coordinates issue. To my knowledge, the three people that give Mr. C coordinates are Ray, Teapot Jefferies, and tulpa Diane. Based on what Mr. C says to Richard Horne, it seems logical that two coordinates point to the rock and one points to Twin Peaks. We know the coordinates on Ruth Davenport's body lead to Twin peaks because tulpa Diane plugs them into her phone, it shows Twin Peaks. So that must mean the two fake coordinates are from Ray and Jefferies and would have to mean Teapot Jefferies hired Ray, which means he can talk to the outside world somehow, which means he could have contacted Old King Cole and saved everybody a lot of time instead of faffing about with Ray by giving the information to someone competent. Then again, Cole had those same coordinates for...days(?)...and did fuck all with them until he gets word from Dougie Coop that he's headed to Twin Peaks, so maybe Cole isn't so competent afterall. I mean neither Cole or Albert plugged those into Google Maps and said to themselves, "Oh yeah, Twin Peaks. Isn't that where all the weird Blue Rose type shit went down? Maybe we should head there instead of sitting in this hotel in South Dakota for another week..."
I don't mind a nebulous ending and I don't need the entire story wrapped up with a nice bow on top, but when half the characters in the show are otherworldly beings with power and knowledge we supposedly can't comprehend and yet go about their business in the most ludicrously stupid ways, it beggars belief.
Don't even get me started on how asinine it is that Briggs could foresee future events to the point that he'd leave all the clues for Bobby to lead him and the crew to Jack Rabbit's Palace at exactly the time Naido lands (and oh yeah he maybe somehow knew where the 315 key would be) but couldn't foresee that entrusting a pair of dolts that stumbled upon "The Zone" like Hastings and Davenport to get him coordinates would lead to his death. I mean, come on.
