I agree with you in that I'm sure it got a whole new audience to catch up on the show for season 5 to see Rihanna. Why I'm okay with her casting is it felt in the spirit of Hitchcock's original stunt casting of Janet Leigh. A huge star that brought in the audience and was quickly brushed aside to reveal the true story.

I predict that Mother and Romero will meet and perhaps Norman will break through. Norman kills Romero and lays him next to Norma's body. Dylan turns on Norman after Emma leaves him and he kills Norman. Sheriff puts him in prison for Norman's murder.

It made me legit happy to see a healthy representation of a Daddy/boy dating dynamic on a show that I love. Also, Darryl's reason for not introducing WiJo to his daughter yet was so sweet and considerate as opposed to another show that might root it in shame. The Feels!
