Goodnight, Mother
Uh…
Happy belated Mothers Day?
Before we talk about the end, lets start at the beginning.

Our penultimate episode opens the morning after Norman freaked out at Romero and ruined The Already Awkward Dinner Party.
Romero has slept downstairs, and when Norma wakes up, she thinks things will be better now.
Because, well, we are two parts of the same person!
That means Romero totally doesnt get it and hes overreacting.
Indeed, it does.
Everyone will leave, but I will never leave, Norman declares.
She even assures her son hes No.
1 in her heart and soul AND mind in the car.
Always so supportive, Norma!
She assumes its Normas, but Dylan recognizes it as belonging to Emmas mom.
Because everyone thinks they know more about you than I do.
was kind of a giveaway), but I still think that theres more coming for our sheriff.
Back at the house, Norman is exploring the basement and looking for Christmas lights.
He finds his old taxidermy…as well as Emmas mom suitcase.
Later, when Norma returns, he asks what happened because shes visibly upset.
Because this is what Norman means by no one else will ever be here for her except him.
Norma writes Romero a letter that breaks my heart (I will always love you no matter what).
This would be a super good idea if, you know, Norman wasnt psychotic.
As Norma falls asleep, Norman both comforts her and sings to her.
The perfect murder-suicide, right?
So, is this end of Norma Bates as we know it?
Will next week find Norma having survived, or have we finally reached the point of no return?
