SPOILERS FOR THE FINALE but there's a sneak peek for the next episode that invalidates your theory:

THOUGHTS:

How can Norma be so unhinged and dorky and really, really attractive at the same time? Vera Farmiga is a gift. My favorite scene tonight has to be her conversation with Romero at the party. Her facial expressions and body language were just a perfect mixture of the traits I mentioned.
