So how about that season 3 episode 8, huh?

Lynch definitely doesn't care if viewership drops down to 14 people; he's going all out. Personally, I loved it.
I don't blame him really. This is probably the last major project he'll ever work on considering his pace and the lack of financial backing. This season seems like his swan song with its cast and callbacks to his life and work. I'm honestly surprised it even got made. I'm just happy that there will be some finality to Twin Peaks...but maybe that isn't necessarily a good thing.
I liked all of it with the exception of a few things. I didn't like that BOB was a physical/removable entity, and I didn't like the Laura Orb. The implications of it contradicts too much with everything we know already.
Also, unless there are some secret scenes of Bowie that were filmed before his death, I find it very odd that a minor character like Jeffries is playing such a huge role in this season.
You bring up some good points.
BOB is physical, at least on some level. Where I think it gets vague is when determining exactly how and to what degree his physical form manifests; and it seems to be tied to crossover moments between the two worlds. So that in itself is OK with me, but as for the removable aspect, which I assume you are talking about in relation to the Woodsmen surgery scene, yeah...not sure what to make of that.
My take on things is that the Doppelgangers are their own entities; shadow selves of people on this plane, inherently evil and deceptive, but that in Cooper's case not only was he trapped in The Lodge and replaced by his Doppelganger, but that either
A) BOB's reflection in the bathroom mirror was simply how Doppelgangers reflect back; i.e. channeling BOB as an extension of the shadow/doppelganger self, or
B) in Cooper's particular case, his Doppelganger was actually melded with BOB, as opposed to, say Leland, who maybe was just possessed by BOB but not actually trapped in The Lodge.
They've never really explained all that, how it works, but Doppelcoop's "you're still with me" statement and the gooey BOB blob the Woodsmen extracted definitely imply that BOB as an entity is separate from the concept of a Doppelganger.
My guess is that sans BOB, evil Coop will still be evil but maybe more vulnerable...or at least mortal, which clearly up til now he was not. I have a feeling he is going to now try to impersonate Good Coop again, for nefarious purposes, since he knows there are now multiple people who are wise to him.
As for the Laura orb, again...gotta see where they are going with that one. Didn't totally get it.
Now, as for Jeffries....that's really confusing. Obviously the guy sounds nothing like the Jeffries from the movie. That could just be due to Bowie's absence but this guy doesn't even try to sound like Bowie's version, so... I don't know.
They have thrown out out so many (possible) red herrings regarding Jeffries that at this point only Lynch knows what it all means.
My take...and let me know what you think, is as follows...
Evil Coop made Dougie to serve as his substitute for Lodge re-entry, thereby allowing himself to stay in our world longer; maybe indefinitely. He then arranged for Good Coop, who he knew would replace Dougie's physical space, to be killed, since -as Gerard told Coop- only one can exist here.
Jeffries is good and he wanted Evil Coop back in The Lodge, and when that didn't pass, wanted him dead (as seen in Ray's phone call in the car after shooting Evil Coop.)
However..Evil Coop tells Gordon he's been "working with Jeffries"...and Albert got that call from Jeffries asking about an undercover agent in Columbia, under the guise of "helping" (Evil) Cooper, but this led to that agent getting murdered. And on the phone he tells Evil Coop that he (Jeffries )will "be with BOB again"...so maybe Jeffries is evil? And wants BOB to help him; make him more powerful, which is why he wanted Evil Coop out of the way?
So...no f***ing clue, really. At least not yet. And Chrysta Bell is the worst actress of all time but damn is she hot.
Some people online are speculating that Jeffries could be played this time by Tim Roth who hasn't appeared in the season yet (as of episode eight) but who, apparently, sounded a lot like the guy who spoke to Evil Cooper on the phone in episode two.
I can't immediately think of any other example of Lynch replacing an actor in that way and I don't know if it's something he would do. He didn't replace Michael Ontkean for example, which if he had would have spared us from all those phonecalls from Frank to the sick Harry Truman. Michael J. Anderson also wasn't replaced, not with another human at least.
Whether he would do it with Bowie/Tim Roth - since Jeffries is playing such a large off-screen role in the season so far and an appearance of the character on-screen may be unavoidable - is another question, but it's all just guesswork from amateur sleuths online at the minute and probably won't amount to very much. (Like the since disproven suggestion that the statue outside Dougie's place of work was of Bowie -- it was actually based on Lynch's father.)
If you had watched last night's episode you would know Roth didn't replace Bowie.
Regarding your assumption that Lynch wouldn't recast a role, he replaced an actress in a major role when casting the film after the series ended. But I won't bore you with details since apparently you'd rather text or Reddit your way through the show than watch it.
I've been hearing rumours that Philip Jeffries could be played by Eddie Vedder!?!?

Let's hope you can hit !Viva Hate!'s Jackpot with your tongue while you're pulling his lever so he can "make it rain" all over your face. Hellooo0oo00oo00ooo00oo00o!!!
One thing I didn't love about Part 9 was Lillard's scene. I felt he overdid it with the crying. I felt like the sobbing distracted the viewer from what he was saying. It felt forced.
