In the last episode before a two-week break, “Bates Motel”
left viewers on the edge of their seats. Following his short-lived breakout
from the mental institution, Norman (Freddie Highmore, in another phenomenal
performance) finally came to the realization he is not mentally stable. In the
episode’s heart wrenching ending scene, he admitted he needed help to Dr. Edwards (Damon Gupton) and showed a
never-before-seen determination to get a handle on his mental state.
