Watched FWWM again last night and tried to follow the significance of the ring. Cooper tells her not to take it but, of course, she does. Then of course there are all the ways the rings function in The Return, e.g., Ray is supposed to put it onto Mr. C but doesn't.
Has anyone put this all together? I am wondering if it isn't a clue to what Laura might have told Dale that we never hear.
My understanding is that, Coop as he spent some time in the lodge, learned the significance of the ring, and then she told Laura not to wear it because it has direct connection to the black lodge.
Ray was supposed to put it into Mr C's hand but he doesn't because I guess he was just scared when he saw all the woodsmen healing him.
You have to be killed and have to be wearing the ring at the same time to get transpored to the lodge. What I don't understand is, how Chet disappeared as he was very much alive the time he found the ring.
And I don't think it has anything to do with what Laura said to Coop.
Laura put the ring on to avoid BOB inhabiting her as I understood it.
As for Chet, we never saw him again so it doesn't really matter if he put the ring in or not. He gone.
wonder if the final dossier will have anything about where the ring ended up after season 2 as the missing peices show a nurse take it from Annie in the hospital and walk off.
That's a good point Peter, is there any character in The Return we can link the nurse to out of curiosity? As the ring would have to have made its way from her back to the main character/plot line for the events in The Return. Assuming of course any of the stuff in The Return actually happened 😉

That is what seems to happen, but then why did Cooper tell her not to do that? I'm wondering if it condemns her to a life in the Lodge, instead of normal death, or something like that.

It is associted with the man from another place, and the black lodge. So he didn't want her to suffer the same fate as him. He didn't want her to enter the black lodge.
About BOB inhabiting Laura, I don't think Coop found a way to stop it. For now he could only help by telling her this.

Like all things Twin Peaks it's just conjecture, but perhaps Mr. C took the ring from the nurse when he "visited" Audrey.

Oh I forgot about that!
Who could that nurse be in season 3? Might she be still working at the hospital looking after Miriam?
Then there is the ring that was found in Major Briggs' stomach... belonging to Dougie who came into existence in 1997 I think? Did Briggs swallow it to give a clue to FBI ?

Perhaps Cooper was wrong. It seems he's potentially been wrong about a lot of things lately (depending on your TPTR ending philosophy).
