Not in White Pine Bay.
Its kind of hysterically awkward neither of them know what to do.
They are clearly not comfortable being intimate, despite their underlying feelings.

And then, the moment weve all been waiting for: Romero and Norma kiss.
Its a real, long kiss.
And hes so into making this believable that I cantnotthink theres not real passion there.
Romero assures her shes doing the right thing with Norman, and, well, lets hope.
Norman is currently getting a tour of Pineview from a nice woman trying to give him his orientation.
Normans not interested in yoga or tours, though.
He wants to know how long hell be there, and hes told thats up to Dr. Edwards.
He didnt like going.
And he thinks therapy is silly, anyway.
Dr. Edwards really has his work cut out for him.
I hope they give him a pay raise rather than a knife to the throat.
She needs to commit to this.
And hes a public figure, after all, which means word will get around town soon enough.
Romero, for his part, seems unaffected by this drop of information.
They do end up going to dinner and after a few glasses of wine, Norma loosens up.
Alcohol makes it all so much easier, says Romero, speaking the truth.
I can see youre going to be a great influence, Norma responds, also speaking the truth.
This is actually Romeros second time being married, since he was married while he was in the Marines.
The emotional moment is dashed when Norma asks who he sleeps with, because she want to know…
I mean, theyre just married, theyre not reallymarried.
(Not that Romero will tell.)
Who says feminism isnt alive and well?
Meanwhile, Romero goes to his own home and finds the woman hes been sleeping with waiting there.
(Yeah, took off is one word to use.)
The best lies are the ones that are made with truth, right?
But before Dylan can fire Gunner, Gunner decides to take off himself.
As Dylan calls Emma to complain, Chick (Ryan Hurst) shows up.
We all remember Chick, right?
I knew that Dylans happy, reformed life was too good to be true.
When he gets home, Norma tells Dylan that she and Romero got married.
The thing is, Norma doesnt believe Romero actually likes her (I believe otherwise).
But shes also worried about Norman; we all know this is taking precedence in terms of her emotions.
Ive never seen someone look so pissed off at a turkey pot pie, Julian says.
Well, you havent been lovingly fed a turkey pot pie by Norma Bates, Julian.
Norman doesnt say that, though, he just tells him it reminds him of someone I know.
Julians excited he can make friends with someone his own age.
Norman breaks down, going off on a rant and talking about Norma as if HES his mother.
He bolts from Dr. Edwards office, and Norma arrives, asking to see her son.
Does no one know how bad it is to indulge this relationship?
Norma apologizes, but Norman wont have it.
This is probably worse for Norma than being denied her sons presence, and she comes home dejected.
A concerned Romero asks what happened and Norma starts crying, unable to hold her emotions back.
And does kissing lead to other things?
Only if Normassure…and yes, she is.
His antics get him locked up, but Edwards comes to see him, anyway.
A surprised Edwards says that this accusation warrants being reported by the authorities… does he know that?
Oh, yes, Norman knows.
