Marion Crane is about to book a room in the "Bates Motel," the trailer for the upcoming episode of the fifth and final season of the series reveals.

(Facebook/BatesMotelAETV)Norman's mental health to get worse in the final season of "Bates Motel."

Crane, who is also based on a character from the1960 film "Psycho," will be portrayed by singer songwriter Rihanna. As revealed in the teaser for episode 5, titled "Dreams Die First," Crane will come across the Bates Motel one rainy night. Like in Alfred Hitchcock's classic psychological horror film, Crane decides to stop over and rest for the night after an exhausting day of driving and dodging cops.

One of the cops who will be chasing Rihanna's Crane is a stern Ray Ban-wearing officer who will be portrayed by the show's executive producer, Carlton Cuse. As previously reported, Cuse's character is a highway patrol cop who is trailing Crane's escape.

Also happening in episode 5, Norman (Freddie Highmore) will feel the pressure of everyone zoning in on him, his therapist and the police included. Despite all the crimes he has secretly and unknowingly committed, he manages to tell himself that "It's all gonna be good." He tells the cops that it is always easier to point a finger toward the kid who got out of a mental institution.

While Norman's therapist is encouraging him to share the burden with someone else, he will boldly claim that he is not alone. This statement obviously references his deceased mother. Although she has been dead for years now, he has managed to keep her alive in his mind, aside from her dead body that he has preserved and hid in the basement. Sometimes, Norma (Vera Farmiga) comes forth as an alternate persona of his. "Sometimes I see mother when she is not there. And sometimes, I become her," Norman says in the trailer.

"Bates Motel" season 5 episode 5, titled "Dreams Die First," will air on Monday, March 20, at 10 p.m. EDT on A&E.
