The Following 3.08 Flesh & Blood

Another episode where I don't trust Gwen. Bringing your boss to Ryan's apartment is a big faux pas. If she was so concerned with him making it to the dinner, she would've tried every way to call and contact him while on the field. He has every right to feel bombarded by people acting like fan boys and opinions they should keep to themselves. If you decide to show up and shove your ideas down an FBI's throat, you're bound to get shut out (especially when it's Kevin Bacon).

Mike needs to stick with Ryan at all times. In that wired house explosion, Ryan was the one who bounced up and threw his body on to Mike and into the bathtub. Mike's more reckless/careless if Max or Ryan are with with him.

I'm glad Mendez was on board to let the team do their own investigation. After finding the children in the home, she gave up too easily. She thinks the job is getting too much for her, but Ryan is still fighting back at all costs.

I'm surprised nobody thought Joe Caroll would've escaped sooner. He was sentenced to the death penalty and had people hiding everywhere! This makes me wonder if the finale will end with him again. The show has steered away from the Edgar Allan Poe genre, so imagine it would somehow come back to it with Joe on the loose.

Bates Motel 3.06 Norma Louise

Norma is the definition of crazy. She's absolutely nuts and I feel we're finally seeing her behaviour without coddling Norman (or anyone else for that matter).

Dylan is building another healthy relationship, this time with Emma. She's always seeking Norma's approval and Norman's attention. It's about time somebody sees her as a person and not a walking health hazard. When he helped her clear her lungs, that shows he really did appreciate her being around this whole night for Norman's sake.

I didn't think Norma would actually return and speak to Caleb. It looks like they've mended things for the time being, but I don't know if this will turn out healthy.

Sheriff Romero is awesome and may just be my favourite character in this show. He came out of his gun shot wounds, popped out of his hospital bed and rammed his IV into the car (while still being hooked up to it!) It looks like he's out for blood and is sick and tired of all the corruption happening in his town. White Pine Bay is far from getting all the dirty laundry out of there, but Romero looks like he won't stand for it.
