Reading the past few posts I realise I don't know as much about Fire Walk With Me (only seen once) as I do about series 1 and 2, so I have a few questions.
Can someone explain the Phillip Jefferies thing ? I realise he vanished for ages but I don't remember how or why, or what significance he has to the plot.
What about the agent working with kiefer Sutherland? Whatever happpened to him?
Jeffries was in FBI Agent training with Cole, which is why Cole knows him pretty well. He was out of country at a hotel, and received a letter from a woman and was entering the elevator of the hotel when he suddenly and mysterious vanished.
Two years later, he suddenly reappears out of the elevator in the FBI building. He begins to rave about where he's been madly, talks about some woman named Judy. As he rants, the lights begin to flicker, which this whole scene is something Cooper saw in a dream the night before which was a nightmare to him, so seeing the flickering lights sends Cooper to get out of the room. Jeffries notices the calender and is surprised to see what year it is, but before he can say much else he just all at once suddenly vanishes again right in front of their eyes with no traces of where he went.
The agent's name is Chester Desmond, he was looking for the ring which was reported to be on the murdered Teresa Banks finger which was missing from the scene of the crime. He tells his partner to take Teresa's body to Portland, Oregon, but goes to investigate the trailer park Teresa lived in one more time and there's a new trailer there that wasn't there previously and the owner of the park doesn't seem to know much about. Underneath the trailer he see's the ring that Teresa was wearing (which is the Owl Ring, the green ring which is reoccuring through the series and was also worn by various other characters, such as Mike (which caused him to cut off his arm), Laura Palmer (which she wore to prevent herself from being possessed by BOB), Dougie in the new season, and others. When he reaches for the ring beneath the trailer, he suddenly disappears like that. The only thing left at the scene is his car, which has a new phrase spray painted on the window, "Let's rock."
However, with the telephone line with the 6 on it in the same font as the machine in the Purple Place which seems to be connected to different electrical sockets, we might have a better idea of what happened to him and potentially Jeffries now. That part's just theorizing for now, though.
_/¯ what do I know eh
