Norman is distant and not interested in visiting with her and he knows she is being secretive, he produces the newspaper clipping he found and you can almost hear her heart start to race as she back pedals, telling him she only did it for the insurance and everything she has ever does has only ever been for him, Norman calls her bluff and wants her to prove it by letting him come home, Norman backed into a corner and feeling pressured agrees he can come home. Dylan gives Emma the letter he found that said horrible things about her father and no longer had any interest in finding her mother, look very likely Norman may have gotten away with it, or was it Norma?? I’m still not sure who was responsible for her death.
