Bradley Martin returns after ditching town following the murder of her father's old partner Gil in A&E's "Bates Motel" in Episode 9 of Season 3.


In the preview video for the show titled "Crazy," Norman asks Bradley why she came back to town.

"I don't want to be dead anymore, Norman," she replied.

Bradley disappeared after killing Gil in Season 2 as revenge for her father's death where Dylan and Norman helped her escape.

In the next episode, Bradley and Norman become intimate when she returns to town. Sexual encounters are known to trigger Norman's killing outrages.

Meanwhile, Norma tells Bob Paris that she will do anything she wants after finding out that he knows her secret. "You don't get to call the shots anymore, Norma," he yells at her.

Previously, Bob Paris went on a mission to pull up dirt on Norma so that he could turn Sheriff Alex Romero against her. Since the first season, Norma has gained the trust of the Sheriff after he investigated the death of several people in the town, some who may have been murdered by Norman.

It seemed as though Romero was falling for Norma in Season 3 until Bob Paris uncovered her secret that she has been hiding all along; her son Norman is a psychopath who blacks out when he murders people and he killed his father.

Before then, everyone, including Norma's other son Dylan, was led to believe that Norman's father died in an accident.

But when Norma has a mental breakdown, she rushes to her psychiatrist's house and tells him everything. Little did she know, Bob Paris was watching her every move. He then kidnapped the psychiatrist and tortured him until he found out the truth.

Paris took that news and brought it to Romero. When Romero goes to Norma's door to demand the truth, she lies to him once again.

In the next episode's sneak peek video, Norma tries to confront Romero but he brushes her off. "We're done talking, about everything," he snarled at her.

Has Romero turned his back on Norma for sure? Will Norman snap and hurt his mother this time around?

Tune into A&E Monday at 9 p.m. ET for the next episode of "Bates Motel" to find out.
