The new season gets the characters even closer to the world we see in

and the tension is growing as some tough decisions are made for what to do about Norman Bates.

These tough decisions might bring some distance between Norman and his mother, just when the audience might think things couldn’t get any worse for them. We spoke with Vera Farmiga on the Vancouver set of

for some insight on what might be coming for the two.

“The thing about them is that up until now they’ve been so interconnected. What I think is what we’re going to be seeing is autonomy this year and separation and a disconnectedness,” Fermiga tells us. “Throughout the years of strife, year after year, she just lassos him with her umbilical cord, and I think that cord is frayed at this point, and it breaks, and he is released. What you see between them is they’re lost in this labyrinth; this murky, murky maze of strife and guilty and torture and sadness and grief and instability, so much so that they’ve even lost track of each other trying to find their way out now.”

As for Norma herself, Farmiga says we’ll see a stronger and bolder Norma who “emerges like a phoenix.”

“She has a metamorphosis. She’s going to be a beautiful butterfly to me this year, and there’s a wisdom hopefully that she’s attained, especially from all the harrowing events of the last several years. I think she’s just stronger and more capable. How she’s emerged from all of that I think has girded her, and she has an indelible spirit of positivity, which is her grace and which I treasure about her and I love. I love portraying that. I’ve said repeatedly, even for her, she’s always putting one foot in front of the other and going forward. Even if she’s falling down on her face, she’s still going forward,” Vera says.

One thing is for certain: Vera Farmiga is very defensive of her character. “I don’t think she’s unstable at all,” she laughs. “Look, I really am in defense of my character. I think she’s as unstable as anyone in this room. Put onto any one of us the sordid past that she has gone through, coming through that I think there’s going to be enlightenment this year that you’re going to perceive and receive from my character that is going to be pretty darn cool to watch. That help is going to come in numerous different ways. There is a sage that shows up in her life, and it may not be in the form of a PhD, but he or she does show up and is very influential in her life, and that is a gorgeous relationship to watch unfold. [It’s] pretty cool,” Farmiga promises.
