Goodbye, Pineview We all knew the good times couldnt last. And if the setup is any indication, were in for quite a ride. And its about damn time, if I say so myself. Credit: Cate Cameron/A&E At Pineview, its arts and crafts time. So, yeah, this looks bad. At home, Romero finds Norma in the basement, where shes looking at options for home improvement. So what does Romero do? He gives her Bob Paris money that hes hidden in the basement....
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. Credit: Cate Cameron/A&E 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....
I really, really feel for Romero. During breakfast, Norman takes more notice of things that are different, such as the new drapes. So Norman respects Normas request and pays Romero a visit.

Certain things can never change....
So dead shes in a morgue. But Romero, bless him, is smarter than this. He still knows Normans somewhat insane, and knows that Norma would never leave like that.

He then tells Romero he doesnt want to see him anywhere, and thats when Romero completely loses it....
EW has an exclusive first look at the moment. I think shes going to go all the way. Of course, Norman is seeing something entirely different, which is another theme of the season. Credit: Bettina Strauss/A&E I think Norman perceives it in a very different way. After all, theres a price that we all pay for keeping secrets, she says. For the first time, fans could see Norma putting herself before her son....
It’s ‘Mother’ now. In fact, thats literally where we pick up at the beginning of the season premiere. We all remember how Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell) killed Bob Paris (Kevin Rahm), right? Credit: Bettina Strauss/A&E We also all remember how Norman is missing, right? (He disappeared after taking off with Bradley, who he killed after having a vision of Norma.) Dylan is putting up signs all over town and Norma is a certifiable worried mess....

Norma and Norman Bates are arguably the most complicated mother-son duo on television. Theyve got enough secrets to last a lifetime. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. Credit: A&E; Vivien Killilea/Getty Images Lets talk about Norma Bates. I think its somewhere around 12,000 to 15,000 times. Norma, in my mind, was a fully living, breathing, red blooded woman.
