Just a quick question about something I may have missed....

Where are Mr. C and Richard headed? I thought (assumed) it would be Twin Peaks. That is where things are coming to a head at, and, as we know, BadCoop and Diane are in communication, and she has cracked the coordinates to find out they are for Twin Peaks. And... Diane is in-league with Mr. C, so it stands to reason that, if he wasn't headed there already, he definitely will be now.

I'm asking this because both someone on here, along with an episode write-up by an online magazine, stated that Mr. C and Richard are headed to Las Vegas. So, I'm perplexed. Did they state that's where they're going? Granted, my hearing's not great, so I could have missed the dialogue, but why on earth would they head to Vegas? Chantal and Hutch are taking care of the hit jobs, and the coordinates keep directing people to go to Twin Peaks. Plus, on a purely practical level, we only have 3 episodes left. Oh, and unless Mr. C is going to ditch the truck and catch a plane, Las Vegas is going to be a long drive.

So, where are they headed?

I don't see any reason to think they are headed to Las Vegas. They are currently not far from "the farm" which is in Montana. The coordinates Phillip gave to Mr. C also seem to indicate western Montana, and not a long drive from Twin Peaks.

I assume their next stop is those coordinates (with a touching family reunion along they way- here son, have a cheeto), and from there, to the Last Dance in TP.

Not certain that Diane is in touch with Mr C.  There's still the matter of the text message mismatch, for one thing.  I don't believe that kind of continuity error would get by Frost and Lynch, given the care they've taken with just about everything else.

Diane's agenda still isn't clear, either.  Maybe she is in touch with Mr C, or thinks she is.  Her messages may be intercepted by someone else, and that could be the reason for the mismatched texts.  Mr C may be recieving information from someone he thinks is Diane, but keeping tabs on him for their own purposes.  Jeffries?

I don't think Mr C is headed for Vegas, either.  Can't remember any reference to it.  As you say, Chantal and Hutch are taking care of business there, anyhow.  Makes more sense for him to head to Twin Peaks.

We actually don't know that Mr C and Diane are in communication. Jeffries, for instance, could be relaying Mr C's texts to Diane. 

Mr C  didn't state where he and Richard are headed but Coop seems to be unkillable, so I think Mr C may be headed there to ensure his own survival. Also, where is the convenience store located? New Mexico? Checking into Vegas prior to checking out the coordinates seems plausible. 

In other words, no one knows where Mr C and Richard are headed, and all will come to a head in Twin Peaks eventually, but it's fun to discuss, eh?

Mr. C couldn't have gone far from the farm. I think they are still in Montana. As for "where is the convenience store", I don't think it is a geographical locale (the Dutchman's isn't a real place). The fact that it disappears at the end of the scene makes this clear, methinks.

I definitely agree but he did drive somewhere. Probably still close to the Farm, yes, but who knows. I just get the feeling that all will converge in the last two parts. Part 16 will be tying up the rest of the, now, peripheral. Don't care if I'm wrong or right, just can't wait for Sunday!

Sometimes it almost seems like there's a kind of underground labyrinth that the Woodsman use to lead to and from the Black Lodge. There is an opening in the federal prison, for example, and in the motel, in the Palmer's old house. Underground but not under the physical ground.

The convenience store moves about. Seems like it can manifest itself anywhere there is electricity. I'm assuming that based on the shots of the power poles/wires surrounding that scene, along with how we saw the convenience store disappear after Coop left it.

I think I've missed something in the 'confirmation that Diane was communicating with MrC' story...?   I thought it was being made to look like that - which meant they weren't communicating, so we still don't know how the messages were being relayed.

Dutchman's place - I thought it was a bit like the Flying Dutchman & just wandered around in a TARDIS like way.  It also seems to have the ability to spit people back out in different locations.

My guess at where Mr C & Richard are going - I reckon that after Jeffries' evasive answers, Mr C may suspect some FBI involvement & will be tracking Gordon & Albert.  Not necessarily being in league with Diane though...

Mr. C had a plan to not be pulled back into the black lodge and it seems part of the plan was dependent on information from Jefferies and it isn't quite going as planned.  Though he has coordinates and there seems to be a race to a place happening among representatives of the different groups interested in the lodges.

Don't forget the alternative option:  The convenience store is not the Dutchman, we saw 2 different locations.  

1. The store location - possibly a meeting place/electrical hub.  

2. The motel location - possibly another place on earth or another dimension. 

Which one is the Dutchman?  Coop could have know the store would get him to the Dutchman making the motel the place, whereas, the Dutchman is the hub/store that allows you to go to were he is located.

Yes but all seem to have to wait until 14:53 on 10/2.
