Olivia Cooke as Emma in Bates Motel
The Big Picture In the bleak, murderous world of Bates Motel, the only beacon of hope is a frail young woman walking around with her oxygen tank. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, the A&E series was full of dread and death from the moment it went on the air. And while Bates Motel could have easily been another show about a serial killer on his murderous spree, Olivia Cooke’s Emma Decody grounded the show and gave it heart. Because of Cooke, viewers couldn’t help but care about Emma.
On the other hand, much like Norman’s brother, Dylan , Emma also mirrors the audience, remaining an outsider looking in on the show despite the close relationship she shares with both Norma and Norman. At the same time, the character also serves as the show’s moral compass. Throughout everything that happens, Emma’s reactions are a constant reminder to everyone that none of Norman’s actions are okay even if you can understand his twisted thought process.
For Emma, losing the Bates is almost too much to bear as she always wanted to be a part of this family. But even at this point in the story, Emma is, very much, a symbol of resilience. Just before the final unraveling of the Bates, Emma and Dylan relocated to Seattle and had a child together. Following Norman's death, one of the final scenes shows Emma and Dylan happily remaining in Seattle with their daughter.
