* {{Bookends}}: [[spoiler: Lila is murdered by "Mother" in the same basement where she discovered her corpse. The movie also starts with an establishing shot of the Bates Motel sign before rehashing the infamous shower scene and ending with a shot of the Bates home. The final scenes of the movie are of the motel sign, with Norman standing outside of the house, driving home the fact that he's fully returned to his previous "psycho" persona.]]
