Bates Motel

A tragic event from the past haunts Norman; Norma tries to prevent Norman from making a terrible mistake; Romero and Dylan find a way to end the drug war; Emma makes a decision about her future.

DYLAN: Norman!

Norman? Sweetie?

Can't you tell me about the dreams later?

When did he get the stomach flu?

I know. Christine, I know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Christine's mad at me.

And something I began to realize when I was in that box.

(GASPS)

No, Norma, it's got to happen.

Well, I'll tell you, Emma.

Will you please think about staying?

Yeah. Can you come now?

With a love, oh, so true

He's here with you?

(SIGHS)

Because I will die if you leave.

Norma is desperate to connect with Norman; Dylan must decide if he should risk his life to save a loved one; Romero hopes a former colleague can help him determine Norman's involvement in a crime.

(SCREAMING)

Each time I see...

But he is somewhere.

Well, then you have to do it.

Maybe you should take a break, get some fresh air.

Norma, I need to know what happened.

I know you can't hear me right now,

He's Mr. Big and Mr. Small.

Hello?

the Bates Motel is a family business, and... And I feel like

If you pick her over me,

Convince her of it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Come on. Come on.

I don't see it any other way.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR CONTINUES)

Romero digs deeper into the murder of Miss Watson; the conflict between the drug families leaves Dylan facing an impossible choice; Norma refuses to tell Norman the truth about his blackouts.

even though we've seen it about a hundred times, but...

I'd like you to do me a favor.

Don't you talk to your son about anything?

Do it right away.

What's going on?

Uh, do you know what Dylan does?

Okay, no offense, but how you two

who are gonna be gunning for your head, Zane.

Well, he won't answer my calls.

Where are you taking me?

Well, nothing really, except that I met him at a party,

Some bad shit went down between us.

I can't.

Hey.

- Look, I thought... - Get out.

Go. Get out of here.

It is soft.

- Oh. - Oopsy-daisy, I got it.

She seemed a little... Sad and lost,

Because I'm wondering, did you ever sleep with her?

She and I'd had a falling out six months earlier.

in the kitchen, please.

on the City Council?

He seems nice. Have fun.

No. No, I can meet you someplace public.

- Where'd you go again? - Florida.

I know. I'm sorry.

Here I am. Talk.

And stay the hell away from my mother...

About Norman Bates,

Any little thing like that, just so it's a morgue job.

Oh, I see. The anger didn't work.

I'm going to my room.

Norman!

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Norma's faith in Norman is questioned; Dylan is threatened by a revengeful Zane; Romero receives new evidence in the murder of Miss Watson; Cody and Norman's friendship reaches the breaking point.

Why'd you pull me out of there like that?

I just want to see Norman. Okay.

And this is Dylan and Remo,

That just means the world.

Just go. Okay.

or I want Sheriff Romero to tell me personally

We were arguing, and then her dad came out

Alex? It's... It's a couple of questions,

Yeah, it's a hard thing to see.

When they've got all the facts down.

Norman has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Did he hurt anyone? Was he angry or uncontrollable?

What am I supposed to do about it, anyways?

Sheriff. Phone for you.

I'm gonna have a deputy take you home.

No,honey,no.

because obviously it was an accident.

I was just telling you the reason I was at Cody's in the first place.

because he chose to be like that, and he

she warned me not to talk about your blackouts.

Cody was here earlier.

That girl could've ruined your entire life the other night.

Are you with me?

Dylan is asked to manage an explosive situation; Norma and Norman's relationship is threatened by a growing secret; Emma lands in a dangerous situation.

You'll be safe here until this all blows over.

Hi, it's Norma Bates. I need to see Nick Ford.

(GATE OPENS)

He's dead, the seat's open,

to help prep you for the meeting.

Lavender is the main component.

Okay, okay, enjoy your towels.

Doing things that are bad for my wealth

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

(DOOR OPENS)

We can all hang out here.

No, actually, I'm gonna talk to Mayor Woodriff

Come on. I'm gonna do it.

You're not cold?

Emma?

You're... You're fine,

be that upset on my behalf.

on reciting facts that I forget to bring myself,

You know how Norman got all crazy out of control?

Well, he told me not to tell his mom,

(PHONE RINGING)

(SIGHS LOUDLY) You ready to go?

She said that Norman has blacked out twice

Mother, what are you talking... Norman.

Norman shares a family secret with Cody; Dylan is caught in Zane's escalating war; Norma teams up with a mysterious man in an attempt to stop the bypass.

Okay, Mother.

They torched your house? Yeah.

Dylan moved out.

We could take a walk down by the beach.

Sure.

so it seems in the realm of possibility

You're old enough that I don't have to lecture you about

I got the money.

Andrea, a bottle

But you, Norma Bates,

Okay.

No.

(LAUGHS) This is great. Thank you very much.

He's making a delivery for me.

You don't avoid things just because you're scared of them.

(GROANS)

You mean weed, right? We're talking weed, not corn.

Hey...

She's a nice girl.

Next thing you know, your life is over.

Dylan questions his loyalty to Norma and Norman; Christine introduces Norma to the town's social scene; Caleb's presence worries Norman; Romero is caught between Zane's war with a rival drug family.

But it's 7:00 in the morning.

maybe you should talk to Mother about that.

It wasn't exactly like that.

I don't know what's going on, but I never should have come here.

Okay. Bye.

And he's still here in our town,

But I'm not gonna take no for an answer.

So, George is gonna pick you up at 7:00,

And you're gonna hear me roar louder

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

Your mom's not gonna like that.

(SIGHS) Don't make this harder on me than it already is.

I told him what you told me about him being my dad.

I was just meeting Norman.

No, it's actually, it's about my mom.

It's just a big deal 'cause, 'cause he's a bad guy.

Besides, if we, uh, if we did sleep together,

Thank you for, for looking after me.

It's okay. It's not like I don't know they're building it.

My grandma hit him with a baseball bat.

Yeah, sure.

I just wanted to make it count.

and doing the most damage,

He said that he wasn't my father,

NORMA: I had no one to protect me.

Norma's brother Caleb arrives at the motel; Norma finds an ally in her efforts to prevent the bypass; Emma holds a memorial for a friend; a townie girl interests Norman.

like stick red-hot needles in my eyes.

You won't give a rat's ass

Norma doesn't have a brother.

No, you didn't. And you were right.

to do it in the first place, so...

and the Umpqua.

Now you know where to find me.

Went down to quit,

I mean, obviously, her family will do something major.

I can't wait to introduce you to the real White Pine Bay.

What was it, huh?

This is Joanna. JOANNA: Hi.

Had he been sick?

Sorry, I didn't expect to see you.

And after you cured the tires,

well, I'm never sure what was true.

and if l get the money together, they'll sell it to me

every family was like ours anyway.

Maybe some things are.

The raspberry thing...

I'm gonna let myself think it's you.

Hey. Cupcake boy.

We're alive, so we should live,

there's nothing like a memorial

Wait, Norman. I'm done with this place.

(CHUCKLES)

I think it'd be good for her

And he's not my boyfriend.

Norma tries to distract Norman; Bradley needs help escaping from a dire situation; Romero is pressured to make an arrest; Dylan and Remo are kept on edge by a new worker.

Oh, my God.

get out of control between the two families.

But it's not a given.

It's a... like a family sort of thing, I guess.

I-I know she's been unstable.

Good night, Dylan.

$3.79.

Yeah, I, uh... I guess we're all doing that, too.

You got to be kidding me.

So, whatever happened,

Sheriff's department. Got a warrant!

I don't know. I-I don't sing, so...

We know you had sex with Blaire Watson

and 'cause I know you killed your old girlfriend.

No, you're not going anywhere.

Thank you, Norman...

Okay.

Wrap him up in the tarp

Yeah, my son and I. I'm Norma Bates.

Good luck with that.

And now all of a sudden, it's community theater!

You've prepared a song...

Okay, you can't start asking a bunch of questions,

You'll make sure she gets on the bus?

No, I didn't bring any sheet music.

♪ Love won't hurry away ♪

♪ all the odds are in my favor ♪

What?

Hey.

I need you to write a suicide note.

Um...

Good night, Emma.

Norman fixates on Miss Watson's death; Dylan becomes involved in White Pine Bay's drug war; Bradley is driven to extremes as she searches for her father's killer; new romantic interests complicate the relationship between Norman and Emma.

But spare us, Lord most holy,

Not intentionally

Where's Norman? He's supposed to be here.

Mother, just let me finish this.

You don't ever have to take it, but I'm trying.

if it wasn't for your assistance.

I never got the chance to say good-bye.

and taking apart dead animals.

I'm afraid you might just suddenly

I will be prepared. I have until tomorrow.

We came here to do it, and we did it,

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

I tried to imagine what that would feel like, wanting to do that.

was sleeping with his girlfriend.

Well, uh, today I was at the graveyard, you know,

That's very good to hear.

of a prostitute named Sonia. Really?

and fight to swim out of, but you never get to the top!

I'm just trying to help you, Bradley.

Norman is a very sensitive boy.

This has got to stop.

She offered you a ride and that you didn't take it.

And it felt wrong but also not wrong.

and then the next thing I know, I was running home.

She tried to seduce you, and it was not appropriate.

And I need to know more about my dad.
