Mr C is out of jail no problem! He's cruising with Ray. He uses his phone to get tracking devices off his car somehow. He says he's going to take Ray to "the Farm", which isn't ominous at all. Ray says he has some numbers memorized that Mr C wants, but he might charge some money for them. Then he has to pee, which Mr C uses as an opportunity to shoot Ray. But he fell for the Fake Bullets Trick!!! Ray shoots him. This must spell trouble for ole Mr C....
PSYCH! A bunch of those Woodsmen show up and do a Fucked Up Ritual to Mr C, which makes a black BOB Orb emerge from his stomach. Ray understandably freaks out and runs away. Driving away, he calls Phillip, presumably Jeffries, and says he thinks? he killed Mr C.
Then SMASH CUT to the roadhouse! It’s the end of the episode! Time to get played out by a real life band, everyone’s favorite Lost Highway soundtrack producer, The Nine Inch Nails! Then Mr C wakes up.
That’s weird though, we’re only like 15 minutes into the episode….what’s going on??? Oh! It’s 5:29 am on July 16, 1945, in White Sands, New Mexico! Do I know that from history somewhere? Oh a nuclear bomb has gone off! And we’re playing Krzysztof Penderecki’s Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, one of the most discordant pieces of avant-garde music imaginable! We zoom in on the bomb and get a cavalcade of overwhelming incomprehensible images in what I can only really describe as an assault on the senses. Then it kinda becomes fire, or smoke, or maybe galaxies forming? Or more bombs and volcanoes?
Then we see a gas station and convenience store. We stay here for a few minutes while the camera does the fucked up jittery crashing graphics card effect from part 3, as smoke, light, and a bunch of those Woodsmen appear around the gas station.
Then we see a shape that looks like the thing that killed that couple in part 1 floating in a void, vomiting up a bunch of liquid, that BOB orb, and a bunch of eggs.
Then it’s back to the fire and threnody! There’s a weird gold nugget or something in there too.
Then we go to that big purple sea from part 3, and a building that seems like a different building from where Coop was overlooking the sea from? Inside is that weird black & white space that Coop seemed to be in in the season’s opening scene. There’s a lady swaying to some chill old timey music. Then the guy who looks like the Giant is there, and one of those electric tea kettle diving bell things gives off an alarm. The giant turns it off then walks to their nearby theater, where he watches the episode so far. Then he floats up and some gold Stuff leaves his mouth, which the lady with him is entranced by. The gold stuff becomes an Orb with Laura in it. The lady kisses the orb and sends it to earth via pneumatic tube.
