In the next episode, titled “Forever,” Norman will attempt to mend his relationship with his mother, Norma. Both mother and son will get ready for their future, although Romero (Nestor Farmiga) and Dylan (Max Thieriot) will be in their way. Both Romero and Dylan may interfere with the objective of saving Norman.

Romero and Dylan are not convinced that Norman has improved since he exited the Pineview Institute. The two decide to guarantee Norma’s safety by letting her know that her son’s mental condition has not truly improved despite his time at the mental facility. Romero was shown in the promo video warning Norma that Norman is dangerous. Norma answered that she knows her son well. The sheriff explained about his confrontation with Norman and how the latter almost killed him.
