The Bates family has a hard time finding a new fold with Norman back home and hostile to Alex, while Norma won't give up either. After Dylan finds Norma unwilling to explain worrisome abnormalities, warns Alex even Norma may not be safe, Alex pushes harder to have Norman readmitted. Getting wind of that, Norman seems tenderly reconciled but actually closes the ventilation system and starts the old heating.
