Shiiiiiiit that was incredible, especially the reveal at the end.
Did anyone else think that theatrical lady was gonna come on to Norma?

How fucking stupid is Dylan?
He's known Caleb for a day. Caleb has never shown up in their lives, until he was looking for money. He has an amazing real estate/business deal. Here's $11500. Ugh. That was just annoying.
Still, good episode, apart from the stupid decision.
^ I didn't get that vibe from Norma's theatre friend.

Yeah I was wondering how naive he could be as well. Get some damn proof of this Costa Rican resort first.
Also, should Emma be boozing it up when she can't even breathe on her own?

Great episode. Vera killed it even more than normal which is saying a lot for her performances in this show.

Also, I take it the 'Ford' guy that Norma met after the garden party is somehow involved with (possibly owner of) the big drug business in town?
I'm sure he was more likely thinking of her comment about the town being run on drug money, than he was about her passion toward the bypass.
Or, maybe both? Does the bypass run near to where the drug business is located?

Please no more Macklemore songs in future episodes!
I think this was the weakest episode of the season so far except for the ending.
Not enough Norma and Norman interaction in this one.

The casting kind of gave away the reveal to me. Watch the scene when they are directly facing one another, they look like they are actually related off camera. There is an uncanny resemblance. The make-up crew even styled their hair in the same way.

Nick Ford is (the deceased) Miss Watson's father. He's also somehow involved in the town's drug dealing, although his business card said he was some sort of industrialist. Leave it to showrunner Carlton Cuse to give us a rich industrialist. Probably Charles Widmore's cousin or something.

I'm liking Norman's new friend, Cody. Paloma Kwiatkowski is a cutie.

Awesome episode. But yeah, Dylan would wreck Norman. I was literally expecting him to dragon punch Norman into the next room when he charged.

That was a sick twist at the end.
Dylan being the product of incest.

No, Norma told Norman about the abuse last season. Dylan didn't know about it.
I wasn't too surprised when Norma told Dylan that her brother was his father. This was sort of set up last season with Norma's confession of abuse to Norman, her distant relationship with Dylan, and his absent father.
Only really surprised that they actually went there...
