The previous two episodes have been really good and entertaining from start to finish. Here there are just a few issues (one in particular) that hold this episode back from having a 10 star rating.
First off, Chick is a decent enough character. I understand a lot more about him from this episode than I ever did over the course of the show. I just have a hard time believing that he is allowed to live in the house. Those minor scenes just felt out of place. I also wanted to see a little more exploration of Madeleine's character, which could have replaced some of Chick's moments. And finally, SPOILER ALERT, I figured Caleb would die this episode but the way they did it was terrible. First, Norman was supposed to kill him but he let him go, Norma/n shot at him but she missed, he runs out in the street and gets accidentally run over by Chick, who was distracted and didn't have his eyes on the road. It was almost comical. If he was killed by Norma, there would've been so much impact and emotion. This is the worst death in the show. Period.
The rest of this episode is a positive. Romero's story has been fantastic, the dinner table scene was really interesting and the final few moments of Caleb's time in the show was good as well. I hope the follow up to his death will be handled properly because his death just wasn't.
8/10
