There ’s just one more episode left of the time of year , and I have a feeling that White Pine Bay is get quick to show us its worst - though this calendar week is no cakewalk . Except for Emma .
Corpses and Chronic
Zack Shelby ’s corpse is being removed from the Bates House . Again .
“ The smell is never gon na depart my brain , ” Norma grumble , then IDs Jake Abernathy when Romero call for if she knows who might have allow her such an unpleasant surprisal .
“ Why do crazy people keep gravitate towards me ? ” she asks , follow by an awkward silence . Not even Norman is going to touch that one .
The next break of day , Norman and Dylan are haul the mattress out to the dumpster . Dylan reckon it ’s a waste of money — after all , hospitals do n’t dump mattresses every meter someone dies on one . He ’s grousing about how Norma is going to milk this for the next yr when Norma reveals that she ’s right on behind them . She smell something , but it ’s not the Shelby juice souse the mattress : The trimmers are fume potbelly on the porch .
A&E
She stump self - righteously over to the gang , who look like they could be duplicate fromDazed and disjointed , and involve that they extinguish their buggy tobacky .
“ You ’re kidding , right-hand ? ” the stoners are aghast . “ You live where you live , correct ? What the local economy is ? No one deal . ”
Wrong . Norma cares . “ No one prepared me for the colossal frickin ’ facedive off a cliff that living in this gaga - ass town really is , ” she says . “ However , what happens on my property is still under my control , and it does not include people in torn jeans with crosstie - dyed wearable and unsportsmanlike hair hanging out on my young furniture smoking a doobie . So take that as the law around here , because there does n’t seem to be much of one otherwise . ”
“ OK , just chill , ” direct hipster “ Ra’uf ” tells her . Yes , that ’s his name .
“ Chill your own ass , ” she responds , precisely the way your mom would have said it .
Then she turns her attention to Dylan . She wants to know exactly what these wayward grouping of souls is doing for employment with his company .
“ process poppycock , ” Dylan says , lamely .
“ What stuff ? "
“ Stuff . ”
Norma put two and two together . “ I hate this spot . I hate it , ” she whine . “ We ’re moving . ”
Drowning
A hired man with sinister - polished nail is clothe over the edge of a chela - foot tub . It ’s Bradley , fully overwhelm in bathwater except her face . She ’s wearing what look to be a prom dress . She opens her eyes just in time to see Norman as he jostle her head under . She struggles and manages to issue forth up for one last breath , but it does n’t look good — and then Norman wake up .
While Norman is just come around , Emma has been up for awhile . She ’s at the motel promising and other before school to work on organizing file . Seriously ? High shoal kid do n’t wake up up any to begin with than utterly necessary , do they ?
Norma apprise her to trash everything that is n’t strictly touch on to the business . She also admonish Emma that a group of nogoodniks have been smoke hatful at the motel , and if she sees it pass , she has instructions to “ Go out there and bust it up immediately . "
“ Bust it up ? ” Emma kind of chuckle , then realizes that it was n’t a prank . Norma is about to leave Emma to her unknown early - minute organizing party when a homo bearing a orotund bouquet of flowers express up on the porch . She ’s delighted — until she stop out the attached florist shop ’s circuit card , which reads “ See you soon … ”
Norma is n’t one to mess up with minatory ellipsis , so she calls Sheriff Romero and leaves a substance . “ Tell him that someone sentflowersto me . The wag says ‘ See you before long . ’ ” The dubious escritoire promises to relay the information .
Now , off to those errand — namely , terrorize her realtor .
“ The motel business sucks , Matt , ” she starts off , then lays into him about not telling her about the motel - efface bypass when she bought the property . He claims that nothing about the bypass was fix in stone when she purchase .
“ It was project ! ” Norma insists .
“ Lots of matter are purport , ” Matt read condescendingly , which is when Norma threatens to sue . She require her money back , and she wants him to list the motel now . But no sign out front . “ I still need to earn a living until it gets sold , ” she articulate .
Back at her worthless motel , Norma is cleaning when she sees a black car — in all probability Abernathy — sail by slowly outside . She goes back inside and Google — excuse me , “ Wikifinds”—“the safe cities in America . According to Wikifinders , the top cities include Brick Township , New Jersey ; Kapolei , Hawaii ; and Mission Viejo , California . ( That ’s not whatForbes magazinesays . )
The doorway opens and shuts . It ’s just Norman , but she severalise him to lock and bolt the front door .
“ Welcome to my world , Juno , ” he mumble to the stuffed pet under his sleeve .
Norma spots the foreign Modern addition to the family and stops talking mid - sentence .
“ How do you like her , mom ? ” Norman inquire . To her credit , Norma tries her best to be supportive .
“ Well , allow ’s see . Yeah ! Yeah , look at that . ”
“ I had a really right day at school , ” he reports , as though he ’s a first grader . He severalise her about the 4.0 . “ I really care this school , mom , ” he says , subtly trying to convince her that he does n’t want to move . Norma cognise what he ’s doing , though , and stops him in his caterpillar track .
“ It ’s you getting the grades , ” she say . “ Not the school . ”
“ What the hell on earth is that ? ” Dylan want to know . “ That ’s just weird , dude . ” Then his eye light on the computer and he see what Norman is researching .
“ It allege here that drowning in a dream can mean you ’re feel overwhelmed in your life . That make sense , " Norman differentiate his brother .
“ Yeah , ” Dylan aver , dismissively . “ Just curious . Who were you drowning in the dream ? ”
After Norman confesses that he was dream about defend Bradley underwater , Dylan look concerned . “ You would n’t in reality need to hurt anybody though , would you ? ”
“ Of course I would n’t want to . I ’ve never wanted to hurt anyone . Except you once in for a while . ”
They both chortle . It ’s briefly cute , but it ’s obvious that Dylan ’s not totally buying that statement .
Take Your Daughter to Work Day
Downtown , Bradley spots Dylan and walk over to postulate if Dylan can get her into her dad ’s federal agency to collect his thing . He correspond , because why would n’t take a chance your own neck for a girl that you barely have intercourse ? They give each other googly eyes .
“ Well , I got ta go play high school now … ” she smiles . More googly eyes .
by and by , over at the locoweed storage warehouse , Dylan run into Gil and take the opportunity to finger him out about Mr. Martin ’s bureau .
“ I have n’t advance you fast enough ? You require an office now , too ? ” Gil tries to vocalize jokey , but he ’s anything but . “ I ’m not experience too friendly toward Jerry Martin . His minuscule shenanigans be me over $ 100 grand in that warehouse fire . He ’s lucky I did n’t get his category to cover my losses , ” he sneer . “ You require his bureau ? Take it . ”
Dylan and Bradley organize a eating house rendezvous to discuss how they ’re going to get into the warehouse . found on Gil ’s caustic response to the mere mention of Jerry Martin , Dylan need to load up her dad ’s personal property by himself , then deliver them to her . Bradley accord , but she seems disappointed .
“ I just really want to see my dad ’s office again . The direction he set it up . The mode he left everything , ” she tells him . Her mammy is so freaked out by his red expiry that she got free of all of his thing , so Bradley has nothing leave of her dad . She was hoping that by visiting his office , she would feel like she was with him again .
The language moves Dylan , and he agree .
“ You sure ? ” Bradley asks .
“ No . But I ’m gon na do it anyways . ”
Man on Fire
At school , Miss Watson is effusing over an incredible short story Norman write about a human race who ’s literally burning up on the interior . She wants to assist him get it published , promising to help him edit out it if he break by after schooltime . Also , she ’s been reviewing his quarter grades , and they ’re straight A ’s . “ I opine this school ’s gon na be good for you , ” she smiles .
When Norman does come by the next day , Miss Watson bulge wax poetical about how he understands things beyond his year , “ things about how operose living can be , about how we ’re not really intend to be happy . ” It ’s a little funny — I feel like peradventure we ’ll hear more about her personal liveliness in the seasons to come . She snap out of her lament and evidence Norman to check with his mummy to make certain she ’s fine with it being published , since he ’s still a minor .
Let it Slide
The hippies are singing the Goo Goo Dolls ’ “ chute ” on the motel porch . I ’m suddenly transported back to my junior class of gamey schooltime and a mixtape I made for an ex-wife - boyfriend . I have a belief that Carlton Cuse and work party are focalize on different lyrics than I was , though . “ We ’re gon na countenance it slew , ” lead hipster sings , and that ’s exactly what Officer Romero is about to do .
He walk up to the motel , presumptively to follow up on the Flowers of Doom , and the trimmer freeze . When Romero asks where they ’re working , the guitar player pronounce they ’re out at Gil ’s dry dock . “You need some veggie ? ” he asks the sheriff . Norma is peer out between the blinds , hop-skip that Romero is going to bust them . He is not .
“ No , I ’m unspoiled . Thanks . ” He almost collapse a smile , then point in spite of appearance to chitchat with Norma . It ’s not good news : he has no leads , because Jake Abernathy does n’t survive . All of the entropy he gave when he registered was completely phoney . Romero asks to dust room issue nine for fingerprints , but Norma ’s already clean it , and now there are a bunch of stoners in there .
“ God knows what they tracked in with them , " she moans .
“ It ’s sort fishy how you live into the service industry , ” Romero says , wryly . “ You ’re do n’t seem very keen on serving anybody . ”
“ I ’m as keen as I require to be , ” she responds , and ask what he intends to do about Abernathy .
The answer ? Nothing . He has no leads , no evidence , no license home plate , no localisation he might be going . To appease her , Romero says he ’ll have her house patrolled on the half hour .
“ countenance me know if anything else happens , ” he order , and walks out the room access .
After a mo , Norma thinks of a expert retort ( is n’t that always the way ? ) and flings the door open to yell after him , “ Oh , like what ? Like he stab up a mates of more dead mass and puts them in my bottom ? ”
“ Yeah , like that , ” Romero deadpans . “ Goodnight , Norma . ”
The stoners are flummox .
This is Emma on Drugs. Any Questions?
Earier in the 24-hour interval , Emma caught one of the trimmers smoking weed on the porch . When she goes to " bust it up immediately , " he asks if she want some .
“ No , I do n’t want some , " she says . " Do you want me to blow up ? ”

“ I wo n’t do it , ” Norman tells her . “ This is just another of your stupefied ‘ set out over ’ ideas and I ’ve been through enough of them . I like it here . ”
Norma , unfazed , insists that they will be capable get jobs in the hotel manufacture now that they have experience .
“ We ’ve been open forthree day , ” he sizz .
“ They do n’t have to know that , ” she shrug .
“ No matter where we go , things will always be the same . Because you do thing that do n’t make signified . YOU . You ’re sick ! ” he yells . After a brief pause , he apologize . “ I ’m no-good female parent . I did n’t stand for that . ”

She then affirm that she got baked on scorched goodness . “I hear it ’s play , but I ’m not having any fun yet . When does the fun startle ? ”
To help anticipate Emma ’s unsound response , Norma tells Norman to get her some goner and succus . Will that really stop a bad high ? Norman does n’t seem too interested about Emma ’s consideration , high or otherwise . What he is interested about , however , is about apologizing for his little ebullition . “ mum . I ’m sorry .

“ Get the pledge , ” Norma snatch up .
