The writing and camera work had this down, so much space for the actors to work in, seriously one of the best eps. Who saw Norma coming up with those responses to the situations? It's a beautiful thing when the writers dare to keep flipping you the mind finger. Towards the end when it went all Hitchcock, skewed camera work for Norman's state of mind, the mirrors and reflections, cutting to the symmetrical framing before the storm.
POSSIBLE SPOILER
The house shot dead centre, Norman in his robe shot dead centre then booyakha! Sheed hits the fan and Norman is the man or maybe woman.
This ep has pretty much everything, editor actors, camera and writing in perfect step. Perfect balance of the present with a nod to its roots. Damn good bit of Bates this.
