Last month, Bates Motel star Austin Nichols tweeted out a trailer for the show's fifth and final season. The trailer contained a steamy love scene between his character Sam Loomis and Marion Crane, familiar to Psycho fans as the woman killed in the infamous shower scene. Normally, this wouldn't be that big of a deal. However, Marion Crane, in this imagining, is played by none other than Rihanna.
As you might imagine, the trailer got a ton of media attention (guilty!), and a nation has been waiting with baited breath for the scene in question to air. And on Monday night, it finally hit the small screen. You can check it out for yourself here:
