==Summary==
The following morning, Dylan finds Norma awake in her bed. She tells him how much she enjoyed the previous night and he tells her that he is going back up to the farm for a few days. Norma goes into wake Norman up but Norman acts coolly with her since she invited Caleb to dine with them. They then hear a noise outside and see workmen out the front of the motel digging a large hole. When Norma questions a workman, she's told that Bob Paris signed off on a swimming pool so Norma has got her side of the deal granted. Meanwhile, Bob abducts and tortures James to get information about Norma.
Romero calls to the car salesroom to get Norma's car back and when he drives it back to the motel, Norma is delighted with it and kisses him on the cheek. However, Romero notices the size of the pool and feels that something isn't right.
While making their way over the border, Dylan and Caleb stop at a gas station and Dylan phones Emma to see if she's okay, jokingly asking if she's cured, before telling her that he will be out of contact for a few days. Emma heads up to the farm with some flowers and cupcakes for Dylan, encountering Gunner. She tells him that her health has deteriorated and that she's not looking for a romantic relationship.
Romero calls to see Bob and expresses his concerns about the pool. Bob reveals some information he has learned about Norma and Norman and when Romero confronts her about it she tells him Norman's father died in a car accident. Not believing her, he ends their friendship and walks away.
Dylan and Caleb arrived at a pre-arranged meeting point and Dylan asks Caleb why there's a warrant out for his arrest. Caleb reveals that he did a job with some other men and things did not go according to plan. Caleb finds a cellphone in a phone booth and answers it. The person on the other end wonders why Chick isn't doing the task and tells Caleb and Dylan where to meet. However, when they arrive they discover the whole thing was a setup to kill Chick. They engage in a shootout which leaves several men dead.
James leaves town, but not before telling Norma everything that he told Bob. He tells her never to contact him again. Finding Norman in the basement, she reveals that she told James the truth about how Sam died, and they argue.
