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…
In this episode of the podcast, Em and Sue (and sometimes La Gata) read your feedback, come up with theories and mama bear. THEN we are joined with one of our listeners who got to visit the set during the filming of this episode, and she gives us some behind the scenes info on their day’s experiences.
Join us!
ps Don’t read too much into the fact that the song is about a girl named “Emily”, it’s just a coincidence.

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.
Episode 2 did not disappoint! Nor did it lack in feedback. We thought we better break this up into manageable pieces. We may do this quite a bit in the future if you guys keep sending us feedback (DON’T STOP!) The episode discussion will follow shortly (like tomorrow).
Here is part II of the two-parter discussion of these eps where nothing really even happens. This podcast contains the actual discussion/breakdown of the episodes with Em, Sue, B and Harold. Enjoy!
How glad we are to be back to White Pine Bay (even if there are a few more bodies in it). Things have gotten off to a cracking start- Norman is spending much of his time either talking to mother or being her, Norma is scheming half baked schemes and Romero is having none of it, Emma is getting new lungs, and we see the seedier side of what Oregon has to offer in the way of mental health. Oh- and Emma’s mom thought sneaking in to meet Norman would be a good idea (spoiler alert: it wasn’t). Listen to Norma next time when she tells you to stay away from her son!
I had to break up the discussion into 2 palatable chunks. This chunk includes Cat’s Crypt, Feedback and Sue and B’s first reactions to the events that played out in these unforgettable eps. Good news– both parts include B and Harold! You won’t want to miss them! Part II coming as soon as I can possibly get it done, which may mean next week.
