    Ed Gein The Mind of the Original Psycho: Episode 2 Summary - The Psychology of Transgression Episode two explores why Ed's fractured psychology manifested in grave robbery, murder, and transformation rituals. The episode analyzes Ed's unique necrophilia as transformational rather than sexual, examining his escalation from desecrating the dead to killing Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden. Through psychological analysis of victim selection, dissociative states, and the slippery slope of transgression, it reveals how each boundary crossed made the next violation easier. The episode investigates the woman suit's psychological meaning as Ed's solution to impossible conflicts, his workshop mentality treating bodies as materials, and his daily life surrounded by death. Understanding Ed's complete break from consensus reality shows how his actions followed internal delusional logic.
