Where exactly are you posting from?  In America the first series ended with
Cooper getting shot, and the BOB / Who Killed Laura Palmer plot ended
nine episodes into the second.  Maybe the break was different overseas.

And just to confuse things even more, the second series included a
production break after the death of Jean Renault, and the cast's contracts
came up for renewal in the middle of the next production block (I think
that's why Josie, James, and Hank all left so suddenly in episode 2016).

If you're looking for argument, you probably won't get it from me.  It's
been hashed out for a long time here that the brilliant deductive genius
from the early episodes completely lost it in the middle of season two.
All we can argue about is when the brain-rot set in -- my guess would
put it immediately after he got shot, when he stopped looking for hard
evidence and started relying on the drug-induced ramblings of the one-
armed man...
