Dylan tries to reason out that Norman's actions were the result of his mental illness and that he really did not have any bad intentions. By the looks of it, Madeleine (Isabelle McNally) also finds out that her husband was killed by the man she shared a kiss with.
While in custody, Norman gets shoved to the ground by Mother, but all that is seen is Norman throwing himself on the floor. Finally, Romero is strong enough to go back to Bates Motel, but will he find anyone there?
Meanwhile, here is a brief recap of the previous episode titled "Inseparable."
After having killed Sam, Norman threw his corpse into a well in the woods with the help of Mother. They also found out that bodies have been uncovered from the lake, which Sheriff Greene questioned Norman about. Dylan returned home and found out that Dr. Edwards (Damon Gupton) has been missing for more than a year. Dylan urged Norman to take his pills, but Mother took over and knocked Dylan over. She tried to kill him with a knife, but Norman stepped in, wrestling with himself in reality. In the end, Norman called 911 and confessed to murdering Sam.
"Bates Motel" season 5 airs Mondays at 10 p.m. EDT on A&E.
