“Persuasion”

“Unbreak-Able”

Catching up with a couple of episodes of Bates Motel. Lots of drama in these two episodes as the storylines of season three started to take off.

Annika showed up alive, for at least a few moments and gave Norma a hard drive protected by a password before she died from a gunshot wound.

The body floating in the water at the end of the last episode turned out to be someone Annika knew, a friend, tied to Bob Parris. This Parris fellow seems to be the next big bad of the show.

Norman and Norma are growing apart as they simply have ceased to trust each other. Norma is just not sure what Norman is capable of doing and the idea that his mother does not trust him is driving Norman even further down the crazy train. Norman is becoming jealous of the relationship that has been developing between Norma and Dylan.

The whole Caleb secret is about to blow up in Dylan’s face as Norman discovered that Caleb is staying at Dylan’s farm and the fourth episode ended with Norman racing off to tell Mother. Dylan is just trying to figure out what to do and he is afraid that when Norma finds out the truth, everything that they had built would be ruined. Max Thierot was very solid with his performance in this episode.
