Norma's outburst in the city council was my favorite too, especially the bit where she responds to the proposed book banning (Crime and Punishment: perfect). And the driving scene was hilarious. I love Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore in these roles so much!
I assumed Bradley had killed Miss Watson after the opening, too, but by the end that appeared to me to be a red herring. She genuinely seemed not to have known that "B" was Miss Watson when she was told. It is still confusing how/why she came to be so distraught after the dance and jump off the bridge. However, I think you're right in that Norman could kill her by the end of the season; it doesn't matter if she in fact didn't kill Miss Watson, only that Norman thinks she did, and there will be plenty pointing that way (I'm thinking there could be conversations with Dylan, for instance). Also, I do think it could be Gil (or a lackey or phone guy from last season; have we met an "Eric" yet?) and all these narrative complications could still work.
Ah, Dylan. Most decent guy on the show despite working in the drug business?
I like that Emma is a bit more prickly with Norman (in her one scene) but still working at the motel. I loved her and Norma together last season.
Aaaand Norman gets more and more into taxidermy. I laughed a little at both Norma and Romero saying he needs to get out and be a normal teenager. Norma seems to have loosened the leash in that regard a little.
