This week on A&E's Bates Motel...
Norman's concern with the mysterious book of sketches he found on Keith Summers boils over and sends him to the hospital. Dylan takes a job protecting the town's marijuana field. Norma continues her relationship with Deputy Shelby in an effort to keep the rest of the town's police force, specifically Sheriff Romero, off her back.
Bates Motel keeps surprising me in that, so far, it seems to get better each week. I really like seeing the relationship between Dylan and Norman start to improve. They don't quite seem to be at each other's throats anymore, and I hope things continue to get better between them. Norman could use a "big brother" figure.
Bradley also returns to Norman's life like nothing between them has changed. I see a possible love triangle brewing between Norman, Bradley, and Emma, Norman's ever-curious classmate. It'll be interesting to see how the relationships between these three carry on, and specifically, how Norman's obligations affect those relationships.
I also caught a twist towards the end of the episode that serves as one of the sharpest allusions to our previous knowledge of Norman's psyche from Psycho. But I'm still not sure if the whole show is now blown wide open or what. Either way, it should make the rest of the season exciting trying to distinguish between what's real and what may not be.
