‘Bates Motel’ Season 5 Episode 2 Synopsis: ‘The Convergence of the Twain’ Spoilers

Norman goes on a date that goes terribly wrong in "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2, "The Convergence of the Twain." Meanwhile, the synopsis hints Sheriff Alex Romero is about to act on his frustrations against his stepson.

Norman (Freddie Highmore) continues to pretend to have a normal life in "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2. He attempts to go on a date, which does not end well. According to the synopsis for "The Convergence of the Twain" from Cartermatt, his date goes awry.

The synopsis for "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2 did not reveal any further details about Norman's date. However, to see it go awry is an understatement. After all, Norman's life is already twisted to begin with.

Elsewhere in "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2, Sheriff Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell) is also having a bad day. Spoilers for "The Convergence of the Twain" teased he is about to do something drastic. According to the synopsis, Romero's frustrations reach its boiling point and he might just act on them.

The synopsis for "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2 teased that Romero might finally do something terrible to Norman. Season 4 left the sheriff wanting to kill Norman after everything that he learned about him. Will Romero finally pull the trigger at his psychotic stepson in "The Convergence of the Twain?"

Regardless, Norman might have found another ally in Chick. Chick gives Norman a gift in "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2. This act teased a growing friendship may have already developed between the two men.

Likewise, showrunner Carlton Cuse has since hinted that Chick becomes Norman's friend in "Bates Motel" Season 5. "I think the great value of Chick in Norman's life is that he's not a person who will necessarily judge him," Cuse told Collider.

Chick becomes Norman's friend despite what he learned about the latter in Season 4. To recap, Chick learned that Norman had dug up his mother's corpse and brought it home. He saw Norma's body in the living room, but did not tell anyone about it. Perhaps he gives Norman a gift in "Bates Motel" Season 5 Episode 2, to remind him that he intends to keep his discovery a secret.
