His place in this world is the embodiment of his dark side — evil twin.

Now Jeffries has lost his human shell and turned into some kind of fancy metal kettle with a luminous ball on the tip. Considering that the group David Bowie called Tin machine (Tin machine), it seems that the new appearance is a reference to it.
“Mechanized” Jeffries moved to another dimension, the entrance to which is in a dilapidated area of the hotel “Dutchman”, the demonic over a grocer’s shop. Presumably, he was involved in the attempted double Cooper. Although not an admission of guilt.
