Gut-wrenching and brilliant

I don't often write reviews, but I had to write one for this episode of Bates Motel. Even though it's been a while since I saw the first three seasons, I remember Bates Motel as an engaging show that really makes you care for the characters, despite the fact that many of them make big mistakes. This episode made further revelations on the backgrounds of the two main characters, Norma and Norman, and some on Dylan as well - all played by amazing actors.

This episode went deeper into the psychological stresses/disorders that a lot of people in the real world have to deal with, and I think many viewers will relate to this. The makers of this episode handled these dark subjects in a very genuine, emotional and thoughtful way, and I think you could say that about every episode of Bates Motel.

The world in which we live in is evil and harsh, and I think about all the pain that people have to endure. May we find hope in the good things in life, and pray for a happy ending.

Best Direction.

I watched this episode last night. I don't often notice direction, but this was one of the most amazingly directed episodes of television I've ever seen. I rarely ever watch something over again, but I'm about to watch it from the start again tonight. Just incredible and beautiful. I even googled the episode so I can find out who the director was and follow their career. I've never done this before.

Warning: Spoilers
This is my first time writing a review on IMDb but this episode deserves it. This episode is for me the culmination of charachter development in the series, at least for the main ones.

The gradual Norma´s acceptance of her son´s problems and her past along with the brilliant reaction at the end from Sheriff Romero are the highights of this episode. I would like to give it a 10/10 but unfortunately, the inherent problem that is the sometimes unnecesary Plot B problems which are just there to fill the runtime, hinders it to achieve perfection.

The charachter of "Chick" might be one of those "Plot B" issues but its execution for charachter development was masterfully done.
