What to expect in the ‘Bates Motel’ Season 5 premiere.
Time Lapse
“Bates Motel” fans can expect to see a bit of a time jump from Season 4 to Season 5. It seems that nearly two years have passed since Norma’s death, and while some things have changed greatly, others are exactly the same.
Norman’s Mental State
Norman Bates is crazy, we all know this. His blackouts have always ended up with him doing terrible things, usually committing murder. Viewers can expect to see Norman leading a double life as his mental illness is worse than ever. In addition, Norman’s list of victims will grow as the final season unfolds.
Alex Romero’s Vengence
Alex Romero is no longer sheriff of White Pine Bay. In fact, he is an inmate at the local prison, and he hasn’t forgotten Norma. Romero is seemingly harboring some very serious hatred for Norman, and although he’s behind bars, that won’t stop him from devising a revenge scheme.
Dylan and Emma’s new life
Dylan and Emma left White Pine Bay to head to Seattle at the end of “Bates Motel” Season 4. The couple are still together and thriving in their new living environment. In fact, there are some big surprises ahead for viewers where Dylan and Emma are concerned.
Vera Farmiga is still very much apart of the show
Many “Bates Motel” viewers were upset by the death of Norma Bates in Season 4, as they worried that actress Vera Farmiga may not be seen on the series as much in the final season. However, Norma is still very much apart of the show, and continues to be one of the central characters driving the series.
