As expected, Part 16 was FULL of relevant plot thread advancements, thus leading to tonight's TWO HOUR FINALE of Twin Peaks (The Return), i.e. Parts 17 and 18.
Historically, Twin Peaks has been INCREDIBLE when it comes to season endings. The original series' first season ended with MANY cliffhangers, with the last one of that episode being, at the time, the single greatest cliffhanger I had ever seen on television. THEN, once I saw the end of Season 2 (which we fans ALL believed was THE end of the show forever, at that time), THAT ending became the greatest cliffhanger ever. At the time, some folks were bewildered by it because almost nobody imagined how that original series would end, but I loved it because it was TRULY the perfect ending, based on how the "world of" Twin Peaks had been portrayed up until that point.
So expect the unexpected and expect NOTHING, meaning very very little will likely be easily predictable. Lynch had to write it in such a way that, at the very least, a myriad of plot lines will have to be advanced, possibly resolved, or left to hang until a theoretical Season 2 (fingers crossed), but as to how that will all be laid out in an aesthetic sense, good luck guessing.
I have a plan to watch with the same buddy I have been watching with since the beginning and we intend to, ahem, partake of something "enjoyable" to enhance the evening. I heartily recommend the same to anyone reading this thread.
All roads lead to Twin Peaks, and these last two parts will LIKELY be set in the actual town wherein mysteries MIGHT be solved while others begin anew.
