The "final third" takes place post-"How's Annie?" so, if you
watch the movie, you'll see that we DO see quite a bit of material
from then: all the scenes with Cooper in the Lodge, for example,
including Laura and the angel at the end.
It seems like Lynch decided to do something a little more - okay,
a LOT - more elaborate with the final third -- he wove it
narratively into the rest of the film, using the time flow
differences as his pretext.
This is why Agent Jeffries can know about the Evil Coop although
it's a year and a month BEFORE Coop's split.
(Of course, those of us who've seen those famous slides of
Hawk in the Lodge and a funeral supposedly for Cooper with
most of the cast in attendance... Yes, it does suck that
all this was cut...)

Just because the good Coop is the one seemingly trapped in the Lodge
doesn't mean Jeffries would never have encountered the evil-Cooper --
why can't the Evil-Coop/BOB be in the Lodge periodically? Perhaps
BOB is doing "penance" for stealing the creamed corn from above
the convenience store? Perhaps he intends merely to gather the
garmonbozia from humans now, instead of kill them for it all...
Have LMFAP and the OAM reigned BOB in... for the time being?
Anyway, whatever the reason, Jeffries clearly KNOWS what happened
to Coop... and I think this suggests a major confrontation between
Jeffries and Coop/BOB sometime in the future... "...The later
events have never been kept a secret..."

I didn't attach a time-limit to how long BOB could get away with
posing as Cooper... Actually, I think the longer the better --
but PEAKS isn't a series anymore, and the situation can't be
thoroughly explored... it's a movie, and things must move
and change...
Besides, don'tcha think Cole would know something was up?

God! Please don't take this as a flame... but this I'd expect
to see only on the TWIN PEAKS CHILDREN'S CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
(Why does Jeffries need to be rescued? Who cares about Desmond,
really? And, although Coop is our hero and narrator in Peaks,
even he's not safe: we don't need him anymore, we know our
way around Peaks just fine without him... so... my money
is on the demise of all three, if anything...)
Shortly thereafter, the health of Annie
Blackburn still in question, the behavior
of Special Agent Dale Cooper was noticed
