Norma Bates was always afraid of lighting storms and would ask Norman to strip down to his briefs and crawl into bed and hold her until the storm was over. In the movie Norman is aroused and gets up and runs into his room. His mother follows him and while he is there she sees a magazine for female bras and slips in his magazine pile. She immediately tells him to take it to the garbage outside while it is raining hard. She follows him with a raincoat and tells him that she will wish that she'd been harder on him in his youth. When all of this started I began to think of incest between Norman and his mother.
Meanwhile Norman talks to his wife on the phone and she says she forgot his birthday cake and Norman says he could make one just as easy but he's not too good at icing. They talk and she decides to pick it up later.
One day Norman got home from school early and saw his mother going into cabin #1 of the motel. He peeped through one of the holes that his father had made and watched his mother. She was tearing the room apart and losing her mind. She was tearing the sheets from the beds and throwing them around and smashing other things. This seems to help validate the fact that she was schizophrenic. There doesn't seem to be any cure for this mental illness. Only the fact that it can be controlled with drugs.
