Every time Norman tried to break away from his mother and be a normal teenage boy, Norma couldn't handle it. And all of a sudden, while Norman is in a mental institution, his mother decides to get married and expects Norman to just be okay with it. After smothering him for years. After making him feel guilty for having feelings for other girls. My heart broke for Norman from the beginning of this series until the very end. It broke for Norma too, but not in the same way.
I know exactly what you mean, 'cause it feels like Norma brought it upon herself a bit. First of all by smothering him and building this idea in his head that she and them was the only thing that mattered in the world, the only thing that was real. And also for not getting him the help he so desperately needed. It's sad. :(
Hathz agreed she mad a crucial life dead mistake she wanted to control and protect she was unstable herself and made decisions out of fear not reason or logic many people make mistakes like this over protective parents mamas boys, raising snow flakes it’s selfish and unhealthy some know they are doing it some ignore it some Don’t realize the harm until it’s too late
Thank you!!! I've been trying to explain this to the people I recommended this series to that are hating on Norman & he's behavior in sizon 4. Everything he said at that dinner table is true, he had no life outside of her & now that she had someone she gives Norman the speech about having room for more than one person in her life & the whole"he loves me & I love him & that's that"! I used to ship Nomero but then season 4 happened. If Romero hadn't been the reason for killing the spark between Norma & Norman I would've still liked him.
This was one of my favorite scenes and I am ecstatic that this clip is finally uploaded. Most people would say that Norman is crazy and weird for wanting his mother to himself, but if you really analyze his feelings, Norma kept him to herself until she found Romero. She would show some signs of jealousy towards the women that Norman befriended and sometimes just him making his way to being a normal kid would upset her because the clinginess would fade with new relationships. Norman was "psycho" but if we dig deeper, his mother contributed to his insanity. Their relationship was unique. They were one and not one without the other, hence how the story concluded. He lost himself after the death of his mother and could not bear to live without her, rather live as her. My opinion, I felt so bad for Norman in this scene because Norma left him and abandoned the love that she molded for herself and Norman.
I think there’s part of it too, though, that Norma knew what Norman was capable of. She was trying to protect him and those around him the only way she knew how. She was obviously lacking in boundaries but I mean, she was in love with her own brother. The only men in her life used and abused her, and she couldn’t let it happen with Norman. And she couldn’t let him use and abuse those around him, or kill them, more rather. So she kept him close with her ~love~, if you will, in order to protect those around him.
Norma wasn't jealous of the girls Norman went out with. She was just concerned tht he keeps getting drawn by troubled girls. The only girl she approves of Norman gng out with is Emma which Norman didn't have any feelings for.
4:18 amazing foreshadowing when Norman says "That's what love is. Real love. Not this pale corpse you're trying to put in its place and you never will be able to"... That's exactly what Norman did. Tried to put Norma's corpse in her place, and let his mental illness run rampant. This was one of the best scenes of all seasons.
The way he’s talking about him and his mothers relationship throughout the years in front of Alex but at the same time he has a point about her being a hippicrate
@@LibraChick43 I totally agreed with Norman here, she has controlled him her whole life and babied him and she would get jealous if he found a girlfriend, no wonder he went crazy!
Oh, yeah, Norman’s right his mother is a hypocrite because she has never been supportive or happy with him having or wanting a romantic relationship with a girl or woman who wasn’t her and she thinks it’s fair of her to demand that he be supportive of her with Alex when she hasn’t once done that for him?
I think Norma didn’t know how to give Norman a normal childhood because she didn’t have one herself. She thought what she was doing (being overprotective) was better than what she had growing up.. which boils down to never being protected. The brother she looked to for protection, violated her. I understand as a mother who was violated as a child and it made my mother overprotective of me but it helps me to give my 3 normal freedom and boundaries. I finally get their dynamic. I never tried to because its so sadistic in a way.
Norman calling Norma out on all her shit will never get old. A lot of fans of the show like to pull the "poor innocent Norma" card but she brought it on herself by raising Norman the way she did and not getting him help because she just loved him too much and was too selfish to send him to an institution. It's a mutually toxic relationship, but I can't get enough of it
I agree, everything that happened to Norman and in White Pine was her own making. And it all started when she stabbed Keith Summers who imo was the hero we didn’t know we needed
I can totally understand Norman's insecurity. His mother forbid him from having a girlfriend and then she marries this guy after making Norman believe it is going to be only him and her. I feel for Norman. He didn't deserve to be treated this way. Shows how selfish Norma Bates was in the first place.
I disagree. It is messed up but the reason she treated him how she did is because of the blackouts where he would kill people. It's a messed up situation, it's also not real, but when watching this I felt for Norma. People change, she changed for the better. Norman could have changed for the better too.
@@doinalright4552 after re-watching myself can see it from the other way too. The very first episode is messed up. The previous motel owner did deserved what he got a hundred times over, but they should of called the police after, (before ideally) but not cover up how she did, including Norman. And there should of been professional help as soon as free from the abusive ex. But it's a show and we'd not have one without some craziness lol.
This is one of my favorite scenes throughout the entire series...Norman and Norma really went at it lol!!!!! I watch this scene all the time, it's just that good! Man, i seriously miss Bates Motel!!!!!!
Not at all she was overprotective by fear that he can kill people. 🤦 And now that he is in the mental institution she accord to herself to leave her life, that she sacrificed in taking care of a dangerous psycho
@@mjmank4475 IK it’s just a show but if that’s the case then why didn’t she tell him about killing his own father, that alone would’ve probably made Norman understand better why she kept close to the hip and even why she didn’t want him dating. Instead she just kept everything to herself and acted shocked when things went south when it could’ve been avoided had she just said anything. Like it took her forever to tell Dylan who his actual dad was and it was only bc he started to hang out with him and she got ptsd, which is her fault again because he kept asking her what’s up and even almost got KILLED for them and it still wasn’t enough for her to tell him the truth and since she kept shutting him out he opted out in believing her brother first, either way she got what she deserved for the longest time 😂
I kind of agreed with Norman in this clip. He told his mother exactly how he felt but when Norma wants to get into a relationship, all of a sudden Norman is expected to just deal with it? Norman knew what his mother was doing wasn’t Norma but Norma still refused to excepted it.
@@distantraveller9876 Nah, you just think women lack agency, accountability. They are nor children, and when I realised that and called out a woman in my life for her BS she respected me more: because you have to give respect, even if harsh in nature, to get respect. She coddled Norman too much, it is in part her fault. She had problems too but that does not diminish this fact. It is thankfully fiction though, but if I were Norman's dad I would put a stop to that crap and tell his mother she is not being normal and to give him space to breathe. Even if a son hated me for it I would put a stop to it all for his sake. Coddling is a form of abuse imo. I am not a bad guy, will save 1.50 each week when my boy is 1, 2.50 when 2, 3.50 when 3 and so on maybe even increasing into the 20s if he goes to college and gets a part time job to supplement his savings. I will not let his mother mess him up though, and women sadly often mess up kids. If he grabbed her or screamed at her like Norman did to Norma btw, his teeth would be knocked out. Men love differently but it is still love.
Listening to Norman talking about his relationship with his mother ... for people who don't know the story would think they're married and not a mother and son relationship .
Norman is right that his mother is hypocrite, she never let him be happy with someone other than her; a girlfriend and now she wants him to just deal with the fact that she’s in love with another man other than just him. She should have not let him come home, but to be fair I imagine she let him because she couldn’t have trusted that he wouldn’t have tried to break out of Pineview and gotten himself into more trouble or worse come back home to kill Romero. She never took his blackouts and condition seriously at first and tried to deny that he was getting worse at first so if anything it’s really her fault how he’s turned out. She should have realised that Norman would react this way, what was she never going to tell him about Romero?
The only girl Norman really loved was Bradley who used him for sex and she was against her because of it . And Emma married his brother after dating him for a while . I wouldn't want my son to be around girls like that either ...
Sometimes too much love blinds us to the point that we don't realize that it is affecting us too much just like norma and norman. Norma tried to believe all her delusions that norman is not dangerous but because of that it ended up killing her.
It's all norma's fault since the beginning.. She never gave him a chance to know the difference between being with an other woman and being with his mother.. There is always a stage where an individual naturally develops the attraction towards opposite sex which is prohibited from happening it and how to lead an adolescent period is something missing in case of Norman..that's why he is highly possessive of his mother.. Norma lacks that cuz partly I would say she appears to be self centered or may be jealous..
I honestly forgot the girls name, (Not Emma but the other girl from Norman’s high school) but wasn’t Norma jealous of her? In some way. It’s like Norma didn’t want him to be with anybody but her. But when Norma gets into a relationship, all of a sudden She doesn’t like that.
That's nonsense ... Bradley used him for sex after her father died and then she threw him away after that one night and told him that what happened between them meant nothing and she just needed someone for sex ... how can you blame Norma for doing what she did to protect her Son from girls like that ?
Dylan was right when he told Norman to get help for himself bc Norma would never do it for him. He was ill but she allowed him to grow worse bc of her codependency and she was so unfair to Dylan.
While I'm glad norma finally found happiness, the mistake she makes is her being dishonest. She should told norman from the very beginning that they were together. But how she waited, lying to his face, thats where she made the situation worse. And her never allowing norman to have a life...makes this a little unfair.
Does any one notice that not only the kid playing a teenage Norman Bates looks like Anthony Perkins as a teenager, but sheriff Ramero also looks like an older Anthony Perkins?
Norman was right about his mom, she's a total hypocrite. Every time Norman got involved with another girl, she got jealous and manipulated him until he crawled back to her. Meanwhile, Norma was throwing herself at every guy who gave her attention
I'm only just getting on season 5 now. So she married Alex? And then dies 😭god dam you Norman you little psycho 😒 glad she married Alex though I was cheering for them to get together ❤️
Norma, as a mother, was very aggravating, but we gotta admit that Norman was being very annoying in this season from leaving the area that could cure him to exploding into rages and passive aggressive moods uncontrollably.
5:47 - 6:03 I get what Alex is saying, but was he even listening to what Norman said at the dinner table: That Norma has kept him close to her and smothered him with her affection as his mother all his life, and she has never been supportive or happy with him having a girlfriend or a romantic relationship with any other woman besides her, so why is it fair and right for both her and him to demand that he be supportive of her having a loving relationship with Alex when she has never done it once for him?
It’s always Norma fault cuz she never let Norma live a normal childhood always covering coverings never talk with the true with him . Her relations with her son made Norman more sick
Norma: " GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD!! No one is making me do anything. I am a grown woman. I love him. He loves. And you gonna have to deal with it." Mmmm!!
I've never seen this show before but I will say this just from this 1 seen she alone is responsible for his fucked up mind set she never allowed him to live life not just his but life itself , I understand being close to your child loving them nurturing them but she took it far to far & now she has to deal with his problems as her own because of her choices .
in all fairness norman killed his dad and norma kept him close due to her own childhood and her two marriages werent the best either Normans Dad, Sam he used to beat norma and was a drunk. Norman started having blackouts during that period of when he was growing up seeing his father beat his mother.
@@Dzanarika1 I wouldn’t say it was Norma “alone”. A lot of factors went into Norman’s fractured psyche. His father was a big player, Norman watched his mother get raped and abused for years and felt he was her only escape and that was what created their oddly close relationship in the first place. Norma was definitely a part of the problem but she wasn’t the only part of it.
Jake Jones He probably could have been a normal person had she not sheltered him and actually helped him right from the start I know their would be no story but I'm just saying
T_ man yeah, but Norma is not a normal person as well. She's pretty messed up and needed help too. Im not saying she was right or it was ok, but y'all are blaming her too easily.
breemadness your right to be honest I feel her missed up childhood most likely made her afraid and or ashamed to seek help I actually thought they were all victims not just Norman
Most of everything is Norma's fault, even if he has "problems" it's better to act normal, overprotecting is not à good thing. Even I got "problems" in my head and I know if someone educated me the same way she educated Him, I would have been a serial killer 100% but the fact that People who know my "problems" treat me normally helps me act and getting normal.
It was Norma's fault for never letting norman talk to any other girls other than herself, of course, he wouldn't understand Norma getting married to a person when she made it clear that their bond cant be broken.
Norma literally kept feeding into his delusions by not ever telling him the truth about what happened and why she does what she does. She got jealous and made him walk home because he had sex with Bradley. Always had to know where and who he’s with. She made her bed
I agree with you I think that Norma loves her son so much that she always wanted to protect her from everything she wanted to recreate with him what she lived with her brother "all one for the other" to make that one "I think that norma had his lot of problems with the men and that norman was always for her and that was too close to him which makes that at the beginning of the serie one wonders if norma does not have a to girlfriend to his fiks rather than to mother but in view of all that is produced "murder" "humiliations" "fear" that norman did she lost this link that united them is the fact that it is a pine view the livery of his problems and give him the taste of life to live and not worry
@@Persei1 for real lmao it's funny how they're blaming her for protecting him but if she didn't do that and he got hurt because of it they'll be calling her uncaring . They're blaming her for not wanting him dating those girls ... 1/Bradley - Used Norman for sex immediately after her father died and then she told him that it meant nothing and she had no feelings for him and broke his heart ( even tho Norma warned him and told him that Bradley was using him ) . 2/Emma - Married his brother after dating him for a while . 3/Cody - Problematic and also she knew Emma shouldn't be swimming yet she cheered her on to do it which almost killed her . But sure according to these Norma haters we should put the blame on the one and only person who was protecting him all along lol .
are you guy's fucking kidding me.. the entire time norma was protecting norman... thats the whole point of the show to make you think otherwise until.... thats why the ending is so great. we already grew to love norman and think he's not so bad. you still would'nt after that one.

One of the best episodes of the show. The script was actually penned by Highmore. Nice,

While I'm glad norma finally found happiness, the mistake she makes is her being dishonest. She should told norman from the very beginning that they were together. But how she waited, lying to his face, thats where she made the situation worse. And her never allowing norman to have a life...makes this a little unfair.
Does any one notice that not only the kid playing a teenage Norman Bates looks like Anthony Perkins as a teenager, but sheriff Ramero also looks like an older Anthony Perkins?
Norman was right about his mom, she's a total hypocrite. Every time Norman got involved with another girl, she got jealous and manipulated him until he crawled back to her. Meanwhile, Norma was throwing herself at every guy who gave her attention
It’s so weird when Norman/Freddie says Alex bc that’s my name 😂😂😂😂
I'm only just getting on season 5 now. So she married Alex? And then dies 😭god dam you Norman you little psycho 😒 glad she married Alex though I was cheering for them to get together ❤️
Normero ♥️ forever
Thanks for uploading this, I've been looking for this video along time.
Freddie Highmore nailed the role.
He looks exactly like Anthony Perkins:-) holy shit!!
I really like Norman, amazing actor
Well that escalated quickly.
Lmao
3:23 That could've so easily have turned into a nice dinner evening.
Yeah sure, but that's boring heh I think we know we're watching a tragedy since before we started the first episode.
I think she kept Norman like a lion in the cage and wants things she wants to do.
Gabrielle Center Exactly that's what she did now she wants to leave the Lion in the cage & gets angry that he doesn't do what she wants anymore
so happy this was on Syfy!
Norma, as a mother, was very aggravating, but we gotta admit that Norman was being very annoying in this season from leaving the area that could cure him to exploding into rages and passive aggressive moods uncontrollably.
4:28 Vera is a DAMN AMAZING actress! ❤
The Best of Alex and Norman
Hello Sheriff Lonely Heart
Norma popped OFF!!!
What's better than a step son?
A step son carrying an axe😊
I love Freddie he is huge
I love this show the cast was amazing
5:47 - 6:03
I get what Alex is saying, but was he even listening to what Norman said at the dinner table:
That Norma has kept him close to her and smothered him with her affection as his mother all his life, and she has never been supportive or happy with him having a girlfriend or a romantic relationship with any other woman besides her, so why is it fair and right for both her and him to demand that he be supportive of her having a loving relationship with Alex when she has never done it once for him?
Dude really got an axe 🪓 😂😂😂😂
It’s always Norma fault cuz she never let Norma live a normal childhood always covering coverings never talk with the true with him . Her relations with her son made Norman more sick
He had blackouts she had to do what she did ... dude even killed his own father of all people .
4:02 "I understand the bond between us, the UMBILICAL CORD."
When he calls her a hippo😂
When?
Norma: " GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD!! No one is making me do anything. I am a grown woman. I love him. He loves. And you gonna have to deal with it."
Mmmm!!
Alex's wig couldn't be located
Loved Norma, but she really was the maker of most of her own misery.
I've never seen this show before but I will say this just from this 1 seen she alone is responsible for his fucked up mind set she never allowed him to live life not just his but life itself , I understand being close to your child loving them nurturing them but she took it far to far & now she has to deal with his problems as her own because of her choices .
in all fairness norman killed his dad and norma kept him close due to her own childhood and her two marriages werent the best either Normans Dad, Sam he used to beat norma and was a drunk. Norman started having blackouts during that period of when he was growing up seeing his father beat his mother.
I'm completely agree....
Finally, someone is seeing what is going on between the two. It was Norma alone that was responsible for his messed up mind and mental health.
@@Dzanarika1 I wouldn’t say it was Norma “alone”. A lot of factors went into Norman’s fractured psyche. His father was a big player, Norman watched his mother get raped and abused for years and felt he was her only escape and that was what created their oddly close relationship in the first place. Norma was definitely a part of the problem but she wasn’t the only part of it.
This series is lit ...❤💯
This is when I began hating Norman. Why couldn't he just be happy for his mother? 😡
because he is the only man according to him who can love her
Honey, cause he's psycho.
Jake Jones He probably could have been a normal person had she not sheltered him and actually helped him right from the start I know their would be no story but I'm just saying
T_ man yeah, but Norma is not a normal person as well. She's pretty messed up and needed help too. Im not saying she was right or it was ok, but y'all are blaming her too easily.
breemadness your right to be honest I feel her missed up childhood most likely made her afraid and or ashamed to seek help I actually thought they were all victims not just Norman
She is a hypocrite she didn’t want him with Cody, Bradley kept interfering in he’s personal life but when it’s her he just has to except it
She has a maternal love for her son and a romantic love for her husband. Those are completely different and there’s no case of whom you love more.
What if a man wants both from a woman?
4:02 I understand the bond between us, the (umbilical) cord 😅🤰🏻
I thought he was going to black out and kill Alex with the ax
I thought the same thing!
I'm serious everyone that watches this show yelled at there tv or phone because he is crazy
Série excelente!👏👏👏
So much Norma hate in this thread 😞
Sadly...
Happy birthday romero from italian boy live in rome and you was born on friday as today
Most of everything is Norma's fault, even if he has "problems" it's better to act normal, overprotecting is not à good thing. Even I got "problems" in my head and I know if someone educated me the same way she educated Him, I would have been a serial killer 100% but the fact that People who know my "problems" treat me normally helps me act and getting normal.
Alex: let me talk to him
Norman: 😤 🪓
Alex: 😨 Norma, could you talk to him?
So sad. This could be a happy family but norman's desease ruin everything haha
It was Norma's fault for never letting norman talk to any other girls other than herself, of course, he wouldn't understand Norma getting married to a person when she made it clear that their bond cant be broken.
You didn't get anything out of the Bates Motel, did you?! That is fine, life will catch up with you, you are still young.
@@Dzanarika1 WTF u are talking about...
Norma literally kept feeding into his delusions by not ever telling him the truth about what happened and why she does what she does. She got jealous and made him walk home because he had sex with Bradley. Always had to know where and who he’s with. She made her bed
Oh Alex ..
Norman in the thumbnail is me trying to explain bates motel to my family.
😂😂😂
Who thinks Norma is is dangerous right here
Norman, maybe.
She is the 'devouring mother' that Jordan Petersen warns about
That's my Norma. 😍😘💖
To be honest norman was a bit cocky here. Everything is perfect until he ruins it. He must be thankful that his mother did this for him.
Please re-watch the show, you might change your mind. You must have watched it in a hurry.
1:04 that can't be the actor from the movie psycho 1960, right? ;-) or is it him?
Anthony Perkins died in 1992. Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert from LOST) is the one in this scene with Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore
he looks nothing like anthony perkins who died a long time ago! actually norman does kinda look more like anthony perkins
No but they do look similar, I think It's their eyes.
@@sfinn85 I would doubt if he was still alive they would have had him do a cameo in an episode
What episode and season is this ?
Season 4, Episode 8 'Unfaithful'. Freddie Highmore wrote this episode
Ramero overstepped!
Wrong
He correctly said that Norma deserved to have a life partner, but Norman just couldn't handle it properly.
3:41
Norma is the one who made norman like this. It's her fault. She is emotionally selfish
Divorced tomorrow
0:12 I can't stop clicking lmfao that chin is just too much
I think Norma is selfish and doesn't want Norman to be happy which makes me mad 😡 and like below if Norma is dangerous or Norman or comment
I agree with you I think that Norma loves her son so much that she always wanted to protect her from everything she wanted to recreate with him what she lived with her brother "all one for the other" to make that one "I think that norma had his lot of problems with the men and that norman was always for her and that was too close to him which makes that at the beginning of the serie one wonders if norma does not have a to girlfriend to his fiks rather than to mother but in view of all that is produced "murder" "humiliations" "fear" that norman did she lost this link that united them is the fact that it is a pine view
the livery of his problems and give him the taste of life to live and not worry
@@Persei1 for real lmao it's funny how they're blaming her for protecting him but if she didn't do that and he got hurt because of it they'll be calling her uncaring . They're blaming her for not wanting him dating those girls ...
1/Bradley - Used Norman for sex immediately after her father died and then she told him that it meant nothing and she had no feelings for him and broke his heart ( even tho Norma warned him and told him that Bradley was using him ) .
2/Emma - Married his brother after dating him for a while .
3/Cody - Problematic and also she knew Emma shouldn't be swimming yet she cheered her on to do it which almost killed her .
But sure according to these Norma haters we should put the blame on the one and only person who was protecting him all along lol .
are you guy's fucking kidding me.. the entire time norma was protecting norman... thats the whole point of the show to make you think otherwise until.... thats why the ending is so great. we already grew to love norman and think he's not so bad. you still would'nt after that one.
Today romero 56 years
We Don’t live by Fear we live by the Truth 🎉 So it Begins…..
Agreed. Norma is a hypocrite, but I understand cause' of her past.
Didnt norma like emma? I feel like she was fine with that relationship it was the other bad influences she didnt like.
pape Diouf
