Bates Motel Is Going to Try to Diagnose Norman Bates

Full spoilers for Bates Motel through Season 4's premiere, "A Danger to Himself and Others," continue below.

"At some point Norma has to realize, 'OK, I obviously can't let this go on.' So we do explore that in depth and it's beautifully done and that's the world. ...
