Dex and Deb get a crash course in extreme therapy: Here's 8 things we learned
দ্বারা James Hibberd @ EW
This week Dr. Vogel continued to work her dark creepy magic on ডেক্সটার and Debra, trying to get them to accept their past deeds and feel generally okay about mercilessly killing people. The episode, aptly titled "Scar Tissue," is basically one big therapy session, climaxing with Debra taking her treatment into her own hands and ডেক্সটার having a breakthrough while trying to murder The Brain Surgeon.
With our Comic-Con coverage on the front burner this weekend (here's what happened at the ডেক্সটার panel), we're going to keep this recap short and bittersweet. Here's 8 things we learned Sunday night:
1. Quinn passed the sergeants test: In the 85th percentile, no less. We're surprised too. "I've never been this happy to get back a positive test," Quinn says. Yet deputy chief Matthews is putting pressure on বাটিস্টা to give the stripes to Miller instead. Something about Miller scoring higher -- not to mention seeming like a competent professional who isn't about to bury her face in strippers and booze on any প্রদত্ত weekend. Sorry Quinn, we're siding with Matthews on this one.
2. The Big Bad is a cable TV installer. Dex snooped around the house of Yates, one of Vogel's former patients who now is a "bundler." And here we thought it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work at a cable company (sorry). Not only has he had brain surgery himself at Dr. Vogel's recommendation (a little detail that আপনি would think would have sprung to mind sooner for Dr. Vogel), but he also keeps an assortment of women's shoes in his প্রথমপাতা taken from his victims (Dexter Head-Smacking Implausibility of the Week Alert: If Yates is so paranoid that he's installed cameras all through his house, why wouldn't he at least keep his collection of hugely incriminating পাদুকা in his secret rooms instead of in his regular closet?). Yates finds out Dex and Vogel are onto him and skips town, leaving behind only a half-dead victim and a diagram প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে how he kills people in case anybody searching his house wasn't 100 percent certain of his guilt.
3. ডেক্সটার has a cute neighbor. Hi Cassie. Run Cassie. Seriously, just stay out of this show, it's bad news. আপনি seem entirely too normal to be a প্রণয় interest for ডেক্সটার Morgan.
4. Masuka has a daughter! A college-age hottie shows up at Miami Metro and Vince is startled to learn she's his daughter -- and she even has the same laugh. This raises a few questions: Would a woman really pick Masuka out of the sperm donor catalog and go "That one!"? And can kids from sperm donors really প্রদর্শনী up on their biological parent's doorstep like that? (Seeing conflicting things online, but it sounds like, yes, it is possible if Masuka chose to be an open donor). Another thought: What if Masuka and his daughter had met in a bar a মাস ago? ... Yeah, scary right? Accidental incest is one of the dangers of sperm donation, as pointed out দ্বারা no less a উৎস than Cracked.com.
6. Quinn is hung up on Debra and isn't that into Jamie. How many hints does Batista's little sister need? Now Quinn is beating up cops at a bar restaurant to defend his ex-gf's honor while he's on a তারিখ with Jamie. And to us viewers his feelings are even আরো obvious when he tells Debra "things are so easy with you, with Jamie things keep getting tripped up." As if things are not getting tripped up because of his longing for his ex-girlfriend.
7. ডেক্সটার has emotions (if muted). There was a lot of back and forth on this between ডেক্সটার and Dr. "Trust me you're dead inside" Vogel. Dex discovers when Yates uses his dying father as a distraction to escape getting caught that he could never use a family member in such a fashion and therefore Vogel is wrong about him. Granted, ডেক্সটার is setting the bar pretty low for himself, but we're siding with him anyway -- ডেক্সটার knows his feelings and seems pretty certain about them. Yet when it comes to Debra, the doctor might be right that---
8. Debra will always choose Dexter. After being haunted দ্বারা the idea that she should have shot ডেক্সটার last season, Vogel helps her realize that she would still make the same choice today. She learns this in a pretty dramatic fashion after ডেক্সটার admits during their drive that their father killed himself due to guilt over Dex's slayings. She turns into a literal Dark Passenger for ডেক্সটার দ্বারা grabbing the wheel driving the car into a lake (the crash was pretty great). Debra is rescued দ্বারা a fisherman, then goes back and pulls out an unconscious ডেক্সটার rather than letting him die. (I'm pretty sure it's not a spoiler to reveal that ডেক্সটার didn't just die here in the fourth episode of the final season).
Bonus! Set-visit factoids: "It's sort of the last straw," Jennifer Carpenter explained to EW on the set about why she drives the car into the lake. "It's yet one আরো person she cared about [who died because of Dexter]. Sometimes আপনি can't calculate something, it's a visceral response. At her core, she loves him, at her core, she needs him ... if you're ব্রেভ enough to প্রণয় all-out in your life, there are people that are clearly not healthy choices for আপনি that your body your হৃদয় আপনি will [go] to them again and again."
The ডেক্সটার team actually shot a scene that directly follows their reemergence from the water (it's not part of পরবর্তি week's episode) প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে Debra dragging ডেক্সটার back to the কূল and giving him mouth-to-mouth to revive him. Surprised it wasn't included since it gives a believable and non-romantic excuse to প্রদর্শনী Deb and Dex locking lips. But the image of the Morgans being "re-born" out of the water is pretty strong too.

It certainty shocked me! I mean at first when ডেক্সটার finally caught Trinity I was so happy! Finally Trinity was going to get his comeuppance! ডেক্সটার sure gave it to him. I প্রণয় how he used a hammer!Knowing the series I was highly suspicious of this "fairy-tale ending" I had this nervous feeling that something was gonna happen to ডেক্সটার something BIG.When it finally did happen I WAS BLOWN AWAY! I mean I could NOT believe that the show's creators could do that to Dexter! Now the প্রশ্ন remains. What will ডেক্সটার do now? Will he abandon his family অথবা will he be able to become a single dad, and forsake his Dark Passenger forever? I think ডেক্সটার will be a good single dad, but I don't know if can entirely give up his murderous ways. Not after what happened to Rita. I think he will DEFIANTLY keep killing. It's the only way he knows how to cope with such an ordeal. It's his only solution for him to keep his "mask" in place. If he doesn't he may very well loose everything.
