I rarely feel something in TV series, this is due to the episodic nature where it doesn't allow me to get very emotional like a straight 120 minute long movie with a plot that starts and ends it all, yet this, this is that rare case.
Knowing that Leland was the killer two episodes prior changed every single scene with him here, the insane unease when we see him with Donna, the bar scene with all the suspects, the way they trick him into the cell, the Bob impersonation followed by his "Leland" confession and death while at Cooper's arms. Just marvellous.
Ray Wise giving a life-time performance only elevates this. Sure, there are lesser moments like the Andy stuff but I thing it was necessary for the audience to breath and prepare for what I consider a perfect ending of a single episode.
