Part 5 continues the slow trickle of a pace, without giving a mere sign of the direction the story is headed. The part introducing us to Lorraine and taking the story to a strange device in Argentina is pretty indecipherable for me, but even that is fascinating just for that reason.
Cooper's doppelganger is in prison, and it's a brilliantly executed scene in which he looks in a mirror while flashing back to the time he looked in the mirror 25 years ago. BOB is still there.
The most powerful parts of the episode involve Cooper resuming Dougie's life. I think the most entertaining thing about this all is the way, despite the fact he's clearly having problems, people are either too busy or preoccupied with themselves, or seek to use him. Cooper experiencing the modern world almost for the first time again also allows us to see the workplace with fresh eyes. Cooper's experiences also lead to quirky and memorable moments, whether it's the awkward way he stands in a lift or the way the smell of coffee awakens him from his stupor. And that he almost says "damn good coffee", but not quite.
We get a check-in at the Double R Diner and while the story of a girl being lent money by her mum which she wastes with her drug-addicted boyfriend is a surprisingly typical thing to see in Twin Peaks, but there's something about the way it's executed, with the long close-up of Becky's face, that still makes it a memorable scene. Plus, Becky's going through dark, dangerous pleasures is almost like Laura Palmer repeating itself again.
We finally learn what Jacoby was saving those golden shovels for. I love this scene. It starts out as a typical satire of the libertarian conspiracy theorist nutcase radio hosts but turns into a... golden shovel advert. There's something very charming about that.
