Well, we really have no idea what Dougie is and if he is able to father children. My guess is he is not a real human and therefore cannot but we'll see where this goes.

Like Leland Palmer, maybe he is just a guy who is possessed by Bob.

But how can there be 3 incarnations of Coop? We never saw 3 Lelands.

Laura was "special" to the inhabitants of the Black Lodge, perhaps from being conceived by Bob.

Where it explains how we did see 3 VERSIONS of him:

1st the GRIEF stricken version

then the WHITE HAIRED GOOD GUY VERSION

And the EVIL BOB VERSION

Yeah but I meant DOPPELGANGER when I said "version" .

@Invidia said:

Someone else also said INCARNATIONS?

There's the BLACK LODGE, the WHITE LODGE, and the RED ROOM.

So apparently there are also at least 2 different DOPPLEGANGERS (BLACK ROOM/WHITE ROOM INCARNATIONS).

But the COOP who goes through the ELECTRICAL SOCKET or whatever it is also doesn't appear to be very BRIGHT.

And the other COOP who was IMPRISONED was BRILLIANT.

So maybe there are even 4 VERSIONS of COOP?

Or maybe he's just RUSTY after having been in the LODGE for 25 YEARS or more???

I took from it that "Dougie" was created by Bob, or whichever evil spirit has been running around as Cooper for the past 25 years. His plan was for his creation to go back into the Black Lodge, but backfired when real Cooper let himself get sucked back into the real world. Afterward, bad Cooper lost his mind a little, as we see with his conversation with Cole. It seems like both good and evil Coopers are going to have Jello for brains until one of them dies.

I was thinking that Bad Coop really has no idea how to act all sunshiney and good and what you see now is a poor imitation of good Coop by evil Coop. This is why his smile looks so phoney and he gives the generic positive affirmation of the thumbs up. I'm pretty sure next episode good Coop will be back in form after the coffee spitting incident.

You must mean the one that comes out because the Coop that goes into the light socket was the brilliant Coop as we hear him talk right before the light socket sucked him in.

Na, I just think that there are only supposed to be two versions in a plane at the same time. So when Coop came back over at the same time Dougie was getting was getting sucked into the Lodge, this caused the jumble and why Coop has a sort of amnesia.

No, Dougie Jones was different, he was not human, when Dougie dissolves into the gold bead, the one arm man says, " Someone manufactured you for a purpose...but now has been fulfilled."

I think it is because the ARM TREE'S evil doppleganger pushed Cooper out of the BL the way he did- not at the correct spot /the wrong co ordinance and yelling, "Non-exist-tant!" and sending him on that bounce 'across many realms' journey that scrambled his mind.

Yes, that does make a lot of sense. It's almost as though Coop's hard drive contents are catching up to his hardware. Hopefully, the coffee brought him back. I just wanna see them explain to Janey-E (Naomi Watt's character) that she has been married to a gold ball all these years.

I really hope so too.

I just wanna see them explain to Janey-E (Naomi Watt's character) that she has been married to a gold ball all these years.

I hope they will reveal to us just how that happened.

Janey-E really lost her anger and frustrations when she saw all that money in that bag, maybe she would really rather have the gold ball.

When she said, "Now we can pay...." I wondered if she was just speaking of regular household bills/loans or was she was referring to some mysterious person ?

May be possible Janey knew that Dougie wasn't real?? That would explain a lot.

Because Bill Hastings( the murderer of Ruth) wife Phyllis, knew Evil Cooper and I think she was part of the plan to get rid of Bill ( and she was screwing Bill's lawyer) and so Evil Cooper shot her with the lawyers gun to frame Bill's lawyer.

Bill told Phyllis he knew about the lawyer and he knows there's also someone else (Evil Cooper).

Evil Cooper had been telling Ray he needed information from (Bill) Hastings secretary.

Remember when Phyllis came home and Evil Cooper was standing in her living room she said with a glad to see you big sexy smile, "You?! Well...what are you doing here?" She thought they were going to have sex ...but blam!!

It looks like to me that Dougie has a gambling problem and perhaps owes a lot of money to some loan sharks. This is why you can see she is pissed off when she says, "Were you at the casino!?" until she sees the huge bag full of money and she slowly starts to deflate.

Yes but I am not quite following what this has to do with Janey knowing about Dougie being a fake person.

I was just trying to make a connection of the wives knowing about things one may not have thought they did.
