Dylans obligations to his brother begin to tear him apart as Norman faces obstacles in law and life.
This Bates Motel review contains spoilers.
Bates Motel Season 5 Episode 9
Everyone has multiple personalities, Julia.
We all pull out what we need when we have to.
Norma is now full-on in the drivers seat inside Normans head asBates Motelbarrels ahead into its swan song.
Norman and Emmas relationship was a huge part of the shows first few years.
Emma cant bear the burden of trying to save him.
This is sort of an impossible situation to reconcile.
Im not optimistic about it though.
Romero is going for broke at this point and has never been more determined to end Norman.
Also, just how chilling is it to see the Bates property littered with forensic agents, like ants?
Its a jarring visual to see this closed off space suddenly so open and exposed.
Its a perfect visual representation of this everything out in the open mentality of the series final episodes.
Its being pulled off so effortlessly in this penultimate episode though that you almost dont notice it at times.
There are subtle touches in the background like Normans out of focus reflection actually being of Norma.
I couldnt be more excited.
