“A Death in the Family”

There is no doubt about it. Norma and Norman have a weird relationship.

Dylan called Norma out on it at the beginning of this episode, telling her that it was strange for her 18-year old son to be sleeping in the same bed as his mother. He was right, by the way. Especially cuddled up the way that Norman and Norma do.

The third season started off with a bunch of new storylines as the final episode of season two really felt like a cool conclusion.

• Norma’s brother came back to see Dylan.
• Dylan wants out of the drug business. Just growing the legal amount of pot for medicinal uses.
• Norman and Emma decide to begin dating.
• Norman is not going back to school- being homeschooled.
• A new woman comes to the motel, reveals herself to be a prostitute.
• Did Norman kill her already?
• Sheriff Romero showed off his bad-assery once again.
• Norma’s mother died off screen opening up old wounds for her.
• Emma’s lung capacity dropped dramatically.

There are some solid starts for the new season. No matter what, as long as this show featured Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore, it will be great.
