The elevator car is careening wildly around the Bates Motel parking lot ; they come dangerously close to taking out that iconic polarity . finally , the vehicle comes to a stop and Norman tosses the cable car key out the window .
“ He ca n’t get away with it . Everybody always gets away with everything and it ’s not fair ! ” Norma half shout , half sobs .
Norman foretell her that they ’re go to get the bad hombre , they just have to do it the ripe agency . This seems to appease her , and everyone calms down .

Let Sleeping Sex Slaves Lie
At the motel , Norma goes to check on Jiao , the girl from Shelby ’s basement . She ’s presumably still under the force of the drugs , because she ’s out cold . As Norma pulls the back up , she examine the flaming fool on Jiao ’s wrists and the needle mark in her arm .
Emma is waiting for an update at the house .
“ She require to sleep , ” Norma reports , almost telegraphically . Emma is being passably persistent about have Jiao to the police station ASAP ; Norman , of course , take his mother ’s side about waiting a bit longer .
Undeterred , Emma demands that they call the FBI “ mighty this second . ”
“ We ’re not start to do that , Emma , ” Norma photograph . Emma looks a little taken aback at the sharp tone , which reach Norma pull in she needs to try a different tack . She arrive up with a semi - convincing report about not wanting to shock the short young lady even further , and that when Jiao is feeling a little good , she ’ll go down to the motel and “ make a case to her ” about why they need to go to the police — as if the victim is the one who needs convincing . As she ’s enunciate all of this , she tuck a piece of Emma ’s fuzz behind her pinna , very motherly and caring .
Norma walks Emma to her auto and asks if she ’s okay to drive .
“ Should I call your mama and tell her that you ’re leaving now ? ” Translation : “ Do I require to verify that someone is expecting you home in the next few minutes so you do n’t decide to make a knave stop at the police station on your own ? ” The answer is no .
“ I have n’t hear from my momma in 8 years , ” Emma responds . “ I guess taking care of a kid with CF is n’t the good time it ’s crack up to be . ”
“ You merit better . You deserve so much better , ” Norma sympathizes , and Emma plunge herself at Norma for a immense , needy hug .
Norma bosom her back . It ’s almost reluctant at first — a light , one - handed pat on the back . But then she really embrace Emma tight with both weapon and strokes her hair . My surmise ? Mid - hug , Norma pounced on the chance to become a bank female parent public figure .
As Norman looks a small uncomfortable , Norma go in for the kill . “ You ’re very brave . Had I been lucky enough to have a daughter , I would have need her to be exactly like you . ”
“ I just want to do the right matter , ” Emma read .
“ I know dear , and we will . Tomorrow . ” She ’s so syrupy odorous , honey is much oozing from her pores . As soon as Emma leaves the parking plenty , the “ interested ” expression drops from Norma ’s facial expression , replaced by one of steely determination .
Brotherly Breaking and Entering
Norma is primping upstairs in her bedroom , getting ready to go over to Shelby ’s house to look for the bang while he ’s numb . She short apologize to Norman for not believing him about the girlfriend in Shelby ’s basement , which makes Norman flaunt back to that original conversation — you bed , the one where his mother say him that he sometimes lived in an alternate reality that did n’t live ? That one .
“ Is there something awry with me ? ” Norman asks . Norma says no , of course not , that was just something she enunciate in the heat of the moment .
“ You promise ? ”
Norma is in the cognitive operation of evading the doubtfulness when Dylan pops up behind them . Norman immediately fills him in on the in style — they find the sex slave girl on summertime ’ sauceboat , and Emma is “ hell - out to ” on taking her to the bull in the cockcrow .
“ If you wrench him in , then he ’s gon na sour in Norma , ” Dylan enjoin . “ Take me to the boat . Do n’t go anywhere . Do n’t talk to anybody , and do n’t do anything until we get back . We ’re gon na get that knock . And you’re able to wipe that lipstick off . ”
On the way to the docks , Dylan tells Norman he get the beach cottage and set off make the display case for Norman to move in . Norman declines to comment .
Once they get to the boat , the brothers ransack everything . As they ’re looking through cabinets and peeking in closets — with their bare hands , mind you , which seems like a bad mind when dealing with a pig who has access to fingerprinting equipment — Dylan suddenly asks Norman how he think his forefather died .
“ You know . This huge shelf in the garage fell over on him , ” Norman says .
“ You really trust that ? Pretty freak accident , ” Dylan scoffs . “ I think she killed him , if you ask me . She hate him . She was poor . ”
Norman , of line , says that it ’s not possible . His mother would never have drink down his father . As Dylan starts talking about insurance money , though , Norman does n’t expect like he bear quite so firm on that statement .
“ She ’s mad , ” Dylan bear on . “ Dangerous , even . You require to see that . ”
Just then , he jimmy open a panel in the cap . The missing knock miraculously drops from the sky and lands at their feet . “ Stick with me , Kyd , ” Dylan says , satisfied .
They pitch the knock into the harbour . Norman worries that the whang is going to float to the surface , much like summertime ’ hand did .
“ I prognosticate no one ’s ever gon na see this thing again , ” Dylan swears , and that sounds like foreshadowing to me . “ Now let ’s go home and pack up your stuff and nonsense . ”
She’s Just Not That Into You
At the Bates plate , Norma hears someone attract up and runs alfresco , thinking it ’s her sons , repay with good news . It ’s not . It ’s Shelby , and he ’s on her like white on rice . She reverberate , then tries to distract him with several excuses , tell him that they were trying to be careful not to be watch together , that her sons would be home presently , etc . He suggests fit down to the motel . “ You ’re not gon na change by reversal me away tonight , ” he rumble , and Norma reluctantly gives in .
Once they ’re in the motel room , however , Norma ca n’t hide the fact that she ’s not into it . Shelby hollo her out on it . “ I ’m just worried about Norman , ” she bluffs . “ I ’m sorry . Can we get down again ? ” She starts to muster up up her act skills when Shelby hears running water .
“ Who ’s stick here ? ” Shelby asks , and Norma replies that no one is — it ’s an erstwhile motel , and it ’s probably just some eldritch plumbery issue .
“ No . There ’s somebody here , ” Shelby insists , then grabs his gun , runs outside and start pounding on door . Jiao is in the shower — never a good Oman in the Norman Bates canon — and misses the part where he shout out “ Police ! ” She only hears the knocking , so puts on a robe and give the threshold , believably expecting to see one of her rescuers . It ’s quite the opposite . When she sees Shelby , she scream and runs into the wood .
Shelby seek to snap her , but Norma shove him , throwing off his blastoff . He throws her against the wall and calls her a cunt , then involve off running after the miss . As Norma sit down there crying , her sons draw in up , prideful about the belt .
After updating her on that site , Dylan does n’t give her clip to respond . “ Norman and I are going to the mansion and pack up his material . He ’s leaving with me tonight . He ’s not living with you anymore , ” he says .
“ Shelby ’s here . He discover the daughter in the motel way and she ran off into the woods . He ’s there right now chasing after her , ” she say , tonelessly . There ’s no importunity to her voice , and judge by the manner her face changed when Dylan drop the beachhouse bombshell , the sex slave in the woods being hunt like biz is unquestionably not Norma ’s self-aggrandizing headache in good order now .
“ Norman , is what he just said lawful ? ”
“ Yeah , I mean , if Shelby ’s here , do n’t we need to do something ? ” Norman says , alarmed .
“ Answer me , ” she demands . “ Why would you do that , Norman ? ”
“ We need to go , fine ? ” says Dylan , the interpreter of reason . “ countenance ’s get in the truck . ”
“ I ’m not gon na get in the truck ! ” Norma scream . “ I do n’t give care if Shelby comes back and kills me . Whywould you do that ? Norman , why ? Why ? ” Now she ’s starting to cry , and Norman decide he needs to know the truth : he asks if she killed his father .
Her expression softens . “ No honey . I did n’t . ”
While they ’ve been hashing this family drama out , Shelby apparently took care of his prey , because he ’s back , and he ’s got a gun on them . The tainted fuzz directs them all up to the house to have a piddling chat .
Shootout at OK Motel
Once they ’re all settle around the kitchen table like the Golden Girls , Norma try out to convert Shelby that none of them are going to blow his cover . “ Just shut up , ” he tells her , then turn on Norman . “ This is all your fracture . ” He shove the barrelful of his artillery right up against Norman ’s temple and strut it . “ This is a incubus , what you ’re making me do , here , Norma , ” he state , and she assures him again that they wo n’t talk . “ You ’re just a lying squawk , ” he squall , and slaps her across the boldness . Ummm , this is not how Blanche and Dorothy would have handled this kitchen pow - wow . For starters , someone blank out the cheesecake .
As his mother is getting smacked around , Norman ’s hazy Psycho - vision is coming back . When Shelby strike her again , Norman leaps across the way at him . The shock knocks the gun out of Shelby ’s hand , unloosen it up to give Norman through a chicken feed cabinet . Dylan recovers the dropped weapon , but Shelby still has one on him . The pair stalk through the theater like Mr. and Mrs. Smith , mark up the antiques with heater . Norma flip herself over Norman , who ’s knocked out inhuman in the kitchen .
Shelby gets shot in the pegleg and Dylan gets shot in the arm . Shelby ’s injury is worse , though , and Dylan is just about to land up him off when he runs out of bullets . He runs on a higher floor to recall more bullets from under a bed . While Shelby gimp up the step after him , Norma trail Norman alfresco , stopping to take hold of her bag . He in the end comes to on the porch , just as Norma is calling 911 . Together , they hobble to the car , where Norma discovers that her key are decidedly not in her purse . She reckon she left them upstairs in the bedchamber — the same chamber that ’s currently lighting up with gunshots . Then there ’s silence . Seconds subsequently , a figure comes gimp out the front doorway . It ’s Shelby .
As he comes into the light , we gain that he ’s been shot through one eye . He ’s pretty damn determined to take Norma out as his last act on Earth , though . He raises the gas , maneuver it at her — and falls over , utter .
Dylan comes outdoors , and Norma hugs him , believably for the first time since he was a toddler . “ You ’re secure , ” he tell her .
She says she called the cops , then wonders what they ’re go to tell them .
“ We ’re going to distinguish them the truth , Norma , ” Dylan says . “ I ’m done with this . I ’m done with the craziness and the tarradiddle . I ’m gon na tell them everything I make love . ”
She say that he does n’t know the whole truth , then proceeds to tell him incisively what find the Nox Norman ’s daddy died .
The Truth According to Norma
While Norman was in the kitchen making himself a toothsome beverage in the liquidiser , his parent were having a heated up fight about money . As the fight escalated , Sam slap Norma in the side . Without even think , Norman dumped the smoothie down the drain , then used the empty liquidiser container to clock his father in the back of the head ( “ [ clang ] ” is what the close captioning says ) .
right away after the skull - trounce blow , Norman retreated somewhere into his brain and refused to come out . Even as his mother begged him to answer , Norman stared at nothing , said nothing . She took him to his elbow room , then dragged Sam out to the service department and pulled a shelf full of pigment fire down on him .
We live what happen next — Norman came to , remember that his parents were fight down and run out to find them . He chance upon his father utter in the garage , then ran to the bathroom to alarm his female parent , who , of track , already bonk .
“ Sam ’s demise was an accident , that ’s what he believes , ” Norma finishes telling Dylan .
Norma allege she does n’t know what ’s wrong with him , but she intends to protect him . “ you’re able to either get out of my way , or you’re able to help me , ” she aver , and a cop car pull up behind an unflinching Norman , illumine the bloody wound on his scalp .
