Marion meets Norman Bates, a shy and withdrawn young man there who is dominated by his invalid mother. During their chat, Marion decides to go back to Phoenix and return the money. However she just takes a leisurely shower to soothe her tired body. A week later Marion's sister arrives at Sam's store in Fairvale to tell him Marion has disappeared.
