The Truth About Norman's Father | Bates Motel

[@TheGreekPianist]

I totally wasn't expecting this twist at all! At first I thought Norma killed Sam, but then this made a lot more sense for the show's plot

[@MxCartney_Lou]

The Greek Pianist I mean she sorta did she’s an accomplice

[@SpatialAndTemporalEvangelicals]

Maybe The Glass Only Knocked Him Out And She Killed Him With The Shelf! Or That Glass Could Have Been 50 Pounds And Be The One That Killed Him!

[@penny1545]

@@SpatialAndTemporalEvangelicals Yeah guys. A milk machine can't just kill a person!

[@CryWolf-sm9iw]

I always knew he killed Sam but blocked it out. From the beginning, Norma just seemed too calm about it all.

[@nz5652]

All this triggered Norman he never felt safe, protected or in control all this plus taking on his mothers emotional issues broke him even more and helped turn him into monster

[@nz5652]

Man! I bet a lot of kids who experience domestic violence and a chaotic environment would drive them crazy enough to wish they could stop it at all cost especially to protect their loved one being hurt

To this day I still can't stand to see Freddie cry, its just so sad. 😭

[@havingteawiththedevil]

I mean at first i was mad at norma for being completely blind to the fact that Norman was a phyco. But then i remember she was in an abusive relationship

[@mwh616]

thats not an excuse

[@chandlerrose4545]

Well in this case he was defending his mother.

[@alguien1234]

I mean, I have awful parents and I did things that I shouldn't as a teenager... But at some point that can't be an excuse. Every person has to be responsible for its own acts.

[@alphamaleprankstv6285]

Doesn’t give her the right to be a trash and evil mother to Norman

[@ok-6732]

Not an excuse

[@MounaEsper]

No it's an excuse Every single man in her life was abusive If your gf cheat on you you will say all women must be slaves for men or I will kill her but for women no she should be nice to men after everything she's been through​@@ok-6732

[@rhiannonmcdaniel5303]

I think Norman blacked out and killed his dad to defend his mother because he doesn't remember anything after he wakes up

[@ruzzelladrian907]

Saddest thing I've seen. I think I won't be seeing quality television like Bates Motel for a very looooooong time that I like.

[@JustAguyFromJersey]

One of my favorite parts about this show was the fact that as it gradually played itself out you became more and more able to see when Norman wasn't Norman anymore. The actor did a very good job at using his eyes at any given moment to let us know that well... he wasn't Norman at the time lol

[@erintheresa2430]

Abusive father, an emotionally dependent mother who blurred the lines between mother and spouse, the poor kid never stood a chance. No wonder why Dylan regretted leaving him.

[@gaylecheung3087]

That would’ve been self-defence, called the police

[@jjjqqq1959]

Good caych, Sadly no one thought about it, or @ least this could have made the plot more twisted, Gayle Cheung!

[@klina7645]

But Norma thought fast and realized also wanted the insurance money if it looked like an accident.

[@krystalharwood5240]

the way she grabbed Norman's face after...*terrified gasp*

[@unholydiver1095]

They could've argued defense of his mother

[@joeyacmilan]

The best series i have ever seen

[@rebeckagreen2091]

Clearly I don’t agree with Norman’s actions in the series, but I can understand these origins. He’s not a monster for killing a man like Sam.

[@orsolyaritter7292]

He is an amazing actor.

[@howcomeseriously4401]

Involve how the series show people thatv VIOLENCE IN FAMILY IS CRIMINAL AND EFFECT FAMILY’S MEMBER FOR THEIR LIFETIME !!! No wife or Husband should be in an abusive relationship

[@cvasquez3376]

Damn, this show was interesting. I haven't seen this show in ages.

[@thesummerland6165]

this is when she should have gotten him psychiatric care he needed to deal with the trauma and disassociation

[@AlastorsShadowDemon]

But she was stubborn and didn’t want to risk losing her crutch.

like the fact his head was bleeding when the shelf didnt reach it...

it's fiction, take the sum an walk away

[@koinoyokan3155]

@@paiget8410 when the shelf "hit him" it could have made his head hit the floor and cause the bleed.

[@HaHa-ni3vl]

A wound caused by a shelf hitting the head and a direct strike to the head by a blender makes a total difference to each other, body examine would spot this easily

[@macanthonyonyirimba3096]

I can't help but feel sorry for Norman

[@devyngreen4066]

i always liked him i think norma kind of smothered him to the point of his absolute psychotic breakdown

[@myztixwenzmatta777]

So lesson to parents... if you think psychological challenges are not real need to wake up...

[@krystalharwood5240]

how do I know it wasn't YOU who killed my father?- Norman to motherUs seeing this scene- well you didn't develop her personality yet here so...yeah it was you

[@darkb4light06]

"Mama?" "Mom".. God, that sounds weird.

[@Garnetisgae]

5:13 That’s when she knew what was happening with her son. That poor family

[@wsgameplay8857]

I love this serie 🖤🖤

[@jessicapazo7718]

I love this series. And there are times you just want to shake Norma, she's so stubborn, always tries to control every situation..the red flags are there loud and clear and almost up until the very end, she chooses to be in denial...and burdening norman with all her trauma,like telling him before he goes to the dance with Emma that her brother raped her for years and doing things like allowing your grown son to sleep with you....you get the feeling that deep down she doesn't realize the damage she is doing and really does think everything will be OK. So as enraged you may get with her, she has a vulnerability which makes you very sympathetic to her Character. She makes me mad but i can't stay mad at her lol

[@youtuber5669]

in 1960 psycho Norman said his father died when he was five years old in this he was killed by Norman i don't know which version i like better

[@SpatialAndTemporalEvangelicals]

Did That Glass Weigh 50 Pounds? Is That Why He Died From Getting Hit By That Glass? Or Did Norma Kill Him With The Shelf And He Was Only Knocked Out Without Her Knowing It?

What episode was this?

[@sfinn85]

Season 1 Episode 6 'The Truth'

[@swethaasokan5477]

This is brilliaaaannnntttt

[@yaguarete79]

That shelf scene reminded me of The Simpsons episode in which Maggie hits Homer over the head with a mallet, but it may be just a similarity. It couldn't be a reference from The Simpsons as Bates Motel aired far after that scene from T. S., and I don't imagine a horror series to be referencing a comedy show. However the similarity is interesting.

[@yaguarete79]

@Alexander F I know the movie you're referring to, but I honestly don't remember all the scenes, so I guess that scene was actually on the movie (it's just that I don't remember it now). Now all makes sense. Thanks for letting me know!

[@yaguarete79]

@Alexander F Not a problem. And thanks again for the info.

[@theaveragematt5729]

I didnt get what hapoened to Norman when he killed Sam. Did he black out or something?

[@natembivens1384]

He has a mental issue where sometimes he does something, and then he blacks out and wont remember it at all.

[@barb7124]

Disassociative identity disorder

[@macanthonyonyirimba3096]

Bruh he blacks out and doesn’t know what he is doing

[@kirkreid743]

Norman has DID (Dissociative Identity Disirder) aka Multiple Personality Disorder. When he feels helpless his alter, "Mother" takes control.

[@Xxsorafan]

Yes during moments where he doesn’t feel safe “mother” comes out to protect him

[@AnnetteMurphyger]

Fantastic actor

El único hijo que le salió normal a Norma fue Dylan, y fue justo el que fue abandonado por ella, echado de la casa, y todo por pagar con una culpa de que no era suya, sólo por ser hijo de su hermano que abusó de ella. Dylan debió haber sido el villano, y al final terminó siendo un buen hijo y el único normal en esa familia 😢

[@jorgebersabe293]

El haber sido dejado de lado por Norma fue una bendición disfrazada para Dylan. Norman es la personificación de todo de lo que Dylan dejó atrás cuando se fue.

What disability did Sam have

[@BlitzøBucko-e9j]

Tell me

[@kirstendessner-sweeney5823]

You can get disability for ptsd and intermittent explosive disorder. At least to name a few, even though he isn’t cognitively impaired or physically disabled you can still qualify for disability . In this case he probably had a mental disorder

[@michelleb9884]

He was limping a bit in the beginning so I’ve always wondered if he had a physical disability.
