This week Em and Sue try to wrap our minds and our emotions around The Vault. Norma and Chick’s business seems to come to an end, Dylan tells his family about the move, and Norman’s subconscious recounts parts of his childhood Mother is willing to do anything to protect from him. It’s hard to think of an episode that has revealed so much about our characters. And one that has sent so many to the Mama Bear Bed. LET’S HUG IT OUT! We still have a season and a half left of this you guys…

This week– Em and Sue read your feedback to the Season 4 episode “The Vault” and we do our thing- come up with theories, ponder on the show, laugh, lamely attempt to racially profile the director… all in a day’s work. You know the drill.
No Bates last week, so Sue and Em took the opportunity to discuss some of the other stuff we’ve been watching since the last time we did one of these…yes, it’s been a long time.
Well, tonight was a major bummer of a Monday with no new Bates Motel to watch. So, in lieu of watching, why don’t you listen to 3 sisters talk about last week’s ep? It’s the best we can do…
In The Lights of Winter, we see Norma and Alex awkwardly face each other at breakfast…Oh let’s face it- the awkwardness was alllll Norma. She ends up meeting him at the Winter Lights Festival though in the end (after a little pep talk with Emma), and is then smooth as hot toddies. Meanwhile, Norman breaks out of Pineview to go to a strip club? Yep. Shenanigans and feather boas ensue. Oh and a visit from Mother of course, for this isn’t the type of place Norman likes…
Alright– it’s recap time! (Just in the nick of time too- sorry about that) In this episode of the podcast, Em and Sue go through the ep scene by scene as we come up with theories, talk some stuff out, and laugh.
Is that wedding bells we hear? Why yes it is. Is that the sound of my new husband rearranging stuff upstairs? Hmmmm. What did I get myself into? Don’t worry Norma…what could go wrong? Here at Yes Mother we are in pure denial that anything will go wrong and will happily write fanfiction about the happiest couple in the world, running the town and a lucrative motel business and are gloroiously happy til death do they part. A long, long, time from now. *sigh*
In this episode of Bates Motel, we spend some quality time with Norma and Norman. Although it’s not all His Girl Friday, card games and cake baking… Nope- it’s comprised mostly of suspicion and antics. Of course it is. Oh, and one other little thing– Romero accepted Norma’s fool marriage proposal, and it was enough to make even Sue squee.
