This one’s on the longer side, ‘cause it’s got several reworked happenings, or what I see as “fixes”, from S1, S2, and even one referencing S4 :) Most of them concerning medical treatment, therapy, and insurance for Norman. There’s also a scene I’ve written as an homage to the S2 finale.
The Norms come up with a practical way to lower their chances of getting caught together. Norma makes Norman feel a whole lot better after a trip to the doctor ;) ;) Dylan makes a sacrifice so his brother can get started with therapy. Emma-Christine catches on to another recent development concerning her younger sister.
“Norman!” she screamed out as she raced after him, barely missing a couple of honking cars racing past her. She caught up with him as he reached the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. He turned slowly and looked at her with blank, empty eyes. “Mother?” his voice was toneless, vacant. “What happened? How did we get out here?”
....Norma steered them away from that with, “The important thing is, he needs therapy and maybe medication. For who knows how long. We can’t afford that, not even close.” She drew a deep breath and looked Emma-Christine in the eyes. “Emma, we need health insurance for this. You have insurance. The kind that would cover this for him. I know because I looked it up.”
