After the Vegas showdown--I predict a two prong attack on Twin Peaks. I see the Woodsmen taking over Jacobys podcast (or the mic) and Nadine and Jerry being taken over by darkness. The deputies will be dispatched to take care of the mayhem Nadine & Jerry cause. Nadine will die (they wrapped up her arc with Ed), at the same time this happens and the sheriffs dept is empty except for Lucy, Bad Coop and Richard will come in for Niado in the basement. Lucy will be confused "Cooper you're back!!" Lucy will die or come close to death. Good Cooper will arrive shortly thereafter cause he's been hot on Bad Coops heels after whatever goes down in vegas. And I believe Sarah Palmer is JUDY or Laura Palmer is JUDY. Sarah I believe has had a monster in her from the get go, and it targeted her because she was gonna birth Laura and sought to corrupt Laura. LELAND AND LAURA WERE BOTH EXPOSED TO BOB VIA SARAH.
I also could see Audrey finally getting over her agoraphobia and then stumbling into the sheriffs dept just in time to see the mayhem caused by Bad Cooper and Richard . She won't be able to kill Richard (cause he's her son) but will be able to save Lucy by shooting Bad Coop, her rapist. Freddy Hulk Hands will take care of Richard.
I like it! Maybe a few tweaks, but I vote for this one.
However, Leland was not exposed to Bob because of Sarah. He's been playing with Bob since he was a kid. He might not have even known Sarah as a youngster.
I like fromTull's theory as well! But Leland and Sarah met in high school. Leland was possessed way earlier, possible the at the same moment when a mothfrog crawled into Sarah's mouth. (I think it's safe to assume at this point it was Sarah.)
The Nuclear Bomb episode seems to be highly influenced by these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonchild_(novel) & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon_Working
Albeit the word "influenced" might be tad wrong. What happened in real life is that Jack Parsons tried to conceive an antichrist with Marjorie Cameron in Pasadena. They were inspired by Aleister Crowley's Moonchild novel. Twin Peaks' fictional world draws a tangent that these events were catalysts of how BOB and other lodge entities spawned to our world, and in the world of Twin Peaks they aren't fiction. (See Moonchild's plot summary.)
Here's ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babalon ) mentioned also that Babalon is a sacred whore, and she may have a daughter. So does that mean that Giant decided to make Sarah Babalon via mothfrog, so that he can conceive a daughter? Or maybe Laura is Babalon?
- I am pretty sure that Dale takes the Water of Life and sees a robotic robin sitting on a fence singing a pretty song
