Romero seems to believe Norman's story of self defense in killing Cody's father. Behind the scenes, Norma tries to get Cody to not say anything to the police about Norman's blackouts. Cody leaves town to live with her aunt but not before telling Norman that he really should find out what Norma is hiding. Norman feels Norma has betrayed him by keeping secrets. This is OBVIOUSLY going to end badly.
Zane Morgan and crew pay a visit to Nick Ford's HQ and murder all the occupants. Zane hits Dylan in the head before they enter so he was unconscious and did not kill anyone. I have never been a big fan of the drug story line but it does have potential in that it puts Dylan, Norma and Norman all in jeopardy from an outside source. Otherwise we're left to wonder when Norman will black out again and kill someone. Nick Ford goes to Norma and tells her he wants a meeting with Dylan. She is of course estranged from Dylan (for the hundredth time) but goes to see him at the pot warehouse. Dylan finally meets with Nick. Nick wants him to kill Zane. Uh well, better check with Zane's sister and Dylan's current bed buddy (Jodi) first. OK Jodi says go ahead and kill Zane so it's all good.
Norman puts some of his stuffed animals around the house (passive aggressive much?). That is still a VERY STRANGE hobby for a young man. Norman has yet another confrontation with Norma and locks himself in his room. Norma is losing her control over Norman. She had previously been at George's for dinner. She left but after the fight with Norman ran straight back to George's where they have sex against a wall. OK, then. That didnt take long. Oh was a seriously, seriously screwed up relationship Norma and Norman have.
Romero (who seems to genuinely be a good guy) finds out that the semen in Mrs Watson is a match to Norman. Oh dear! I was wondering if they were even going to investigate that poor woman's death. He confronts Norman at the hotel. He tries to be as sensitive as possible. Norman bolts upstairs though to look at his Blair stash. He hears a creak and go downstairs and is knocked out from behind by one of Nick's flunkies. Nick is a very dangerous man and both Dylan and Norma have threatened him (and he hasnt gotten around to killing Zane yet). Also let us NOT forgot that Mrs Watson was Nick Ford's daughter so if he thinks Norman raped and killer her, well, you know what will happen. However, in the Bates clan's favor, Norman is completely bonkers and might kill his captures (and never remember a thing about it).

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). "Bates Motel" is one of my most favorite shows (and I obviously watch a LOT of TV). Who else will Norman kill this season?
