Last time on Colony, Will (Josh Holloway) took the alien-crypted file to work to try to get Betsy (Keiko Agena) to open when he couldn’t. Bob (Toby Huss) stepped in and later “transferred” her. Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) got pulled back into the cell, when one of them got sick and died from radiation poisoning. Broussard (Tory Kittles) was not around. Will and a reluctant Green Zone doctor helped. Maddie and Nolan (Amanda Righetti, Adrian Pasdar) visits the prison camp. Maddie visits Bram (Alex Neustaedter) and is upset (they both are), but can’t do anything. Nolan makes Snyder (Peter Jacobson) show him the shipment. Snyder rats him out.

Last time on Colony, the Bowmans are reunited sans Bram. Charlie was having trouble trusting home. Will told Katie (Josh Holloway, Sarah Wayne Callies) they have to stick together. Charlie (Jacob Buster) set Lindsey’s (Erin Way) book on fire. Will noticed that there were cameras in the house, and whispered that to his wife in the shower. Jennifer (Kathleen Rose Perkins) did not turn the Bowmans in, deleting their files when she got fired. She went home and took a bunch of pills. The entire bloc was being watched.

Last week on Bates Motel, it was Norma (Vera Farmiga) who was the “unfaithful” one – to her new husband, to her son. Norman (Freddie Highmore) came home and Romero (Nestor Carbonell) had temporarily moved out, so she could ease Norman back in. There is awkwardness and tension between mother and son. Dylan and Emma (Max Thieriot and Olivia Cooke) went over for one last night before moving to Seattle. They all went to get a tree together, but Nora and Norman fought. He created a peephole in one of the motel rooms to spy on his mother and her husband. Rebecca got picked up by the DEA.

Last week on Bates Motel, Norman was found talking crazy in a field and remanded to a city psych ward. Romero (Nestor Carbonell) got rid of his Bob murder evidence, but kept the cash. Norma (Vera Farmiga) tried to sell her body to a random (and gay) doctor to get Norman (Freddie Highmore) into the fancy hospital, then proposed to Alex to get his insurance. Neither worked but the doctor does give her hope of an appointment. Emma (Olivia Cooke) got lung transplant surgery and her long-lost mom showed up. Emma’s dad told her to get lost, so she went to the motel and checked in. She wanted Norma to give a letter to Emma. That was a no. Norman let her in later on and strangled her. That also was a no.

We are up to episode 3 of Season 3 of Bates Motel, and it certainly took off running. We have had hallucinations, a rich social orgy club, a missing girl, Ryan Hurst, Uncle Dad bonding, first dates, and the Vera Farmiga one-woman show. Ok, so… that’s an exaggeration because this jewel has some very talented setting.

There are some spoilers, so tread carefully.
