But it does not work like that. When Liland was going to rape her in the wagon, something very terrible was going to happen with her soul, so she chose to made him kill her sacrificing herself, but saving her soul. But for Coop both options are unacceptable. It is impossible to hit two birds with one stone - he can save her, but he can not get her to her mother. And this is his personal tragedy

Here we need to stop and think. In episode 17 he did his job, he saved her, so he could come out from Black Lodge, and Diane (his true love) was waiting for him. He could continue his life. But he chose to find Laura. And he knew he may lose everything that he had: his love, his friends, his world and even his identity and he knew that there is no garantee this shall work. That is why Diane asked him if he still wants to do this. He came to a new world (it looks like in this world there are no doppelgangers, so he is complete, or it is just the same coop with lost identity but still a Knight having his mission - even not remembering why), and he brought Laura to her mother (maybe making tragical mistake). Of course the hous is full of evil (tremonds, chalfonts etc). Alice was directly lying to Coop - it was clear. But Sarah (possessed by demon?) moaning Laura's name, then Laura screams as she remembers everything now and realizes that NOTHING is over. She is again surrounded by evil. The fact that all the lights are gone in a second gives us hope that she is no longer a helpless victim. And Coop is finally with her and for the first time in her life she is not alone,   

some long ago post we did some photo comparisons of Windom's briefcases in his cabin with Leo and the case Mr. C used in the motel with Daria.  While possibly not the same exact film prop, it seemed pretty suggestive of being one and the same briefcase.  Real similar.  And the bonsai, as Julie mentions, has Windom history.  I have to think those were an homage to Windom if not exactly an endorsement.  

For argument's sake, if it were Windom, why would he say, "I missed you in New York"?  Inscrutable dialogue meant to obscure? Or can Windom be plausibly credited with saying such a thing?  

Thank you , Joseph 😊

Could the bonsai have had a camera as well as a mic?

He gave Mr C his briefcase,   didn't have to

And

Put a bonsai in the room with Sam. Didn't need to do that either.
