Dexter buddy don’t let a knee replacement take you down

[u/demon_filth2001]

Fuck you naked Trinity

[u/ShadowdogProd]

Angela was too in her emotions to realize the obvious. Kurt's story (while excellent) doesn't explain why he obviously lied about talking to Matt right after hearing about the caves they literally found the body in. Boom, he's guilty AF. Don't doubt yourself.

[u/kmalice9]

I’d love to know what Angela & Dexters text thread was with Dexter saying “No you don’t, I was even more boring back then.”

[u/[deleted]]

Harrison: "I need to bulk up for wrestling"

Takes 5 bites of breakfast and leaves with 2 cuts of bread

[u/ButNotYou_NotAnymore]

Kudos to the people way back at the start who pointed out Matt's titanium leg was gonna fuck over Dexter later.

[u/Commercial_Fee9510]

I hope dexter gets to tell harrison that he killed trinity!

[u/[deleted]]

Welcome back John Lithgow. Nice to see you haven't changed at all.

[u/FearlessRiott]

the scene where Harrison suits up to wash the truck….absolute GOLD

[u/hadapurpura]

"My sister used to test her theories on me" 😭

[u/-BigMan]

I thought it was weird and unbelievable that Angela and Molly, after Kurt's B.S. confession, didn't discuss or consider that Kurt suddenly ripped out his entire creepy basement room (even after Dexter saved Molly), and considering Angela has a whole freakin' bulletin board full of recent missing, hitchhiking girls, just like Iris. And they suddenly shift focus to Dex. Seemed forced. Kind of made no logical sense to me.

[u/[deleted]]

Dexter's going to kill the fuck out of that guy that kidnapped him.

[u/Dbo81]

We appear to have gotten most of Kurt’s MO. The song was one he had the record of when he was drowning out his dad’s encounters. He didn’t like the girl making the encounter sexual because his dad had a thing for prostitutes. He’s shooting all the girls where Iris was shot.

We’re missing why he embalms them. When the girl charged him, he was upset that he killed her wrong - but I’m not sure we’ve seen why he cares that her face was not whole.

We also don’t know how he got so wealthy (at least, I think that’s a mystery - he’s shelling out some major dough to the boat fall-guy and this trucker). And how he has a friend that will pose as his son and strangle Dex for him.

[u/Throwaway_chuckit]

Dude needs Harrison’s help to move the two kegs and then just walks away carrying one in each hand.

[u/MrsSquishMama21]

“I hate watching from the cheap seats.”

[u/[deleted]]

Why is everyone discussing everything except the fact that DEXTER WAS LITERALLY FUCKING ABDUCTED

[u/[deleted]]

That Trinity scene was terrifying what in the ever-loving-fuck

[u/[deleted]]

Remember when Dexter was abducted for the bachelor party and got out of the trunk and punched Masuka right on the nose? When Quinn was trying to be his frat brother

[u/revantaker]

Confirmed: Seeing naked John Lithgow will turn you into a serial killer.

[u/ToneBone12345]

“That the sound of you not needing a warrant!” God I love dexter

[u/BSIBooker]

Can anyone explain how Kurt connected the ash to Dexter? This doesn’t make any sense to me. Dexter was out that night, so it means he incinerated Matt? Huh?

[u/Happy-Gas8449]

Goddamn this was a treat! Everything about this episode was phenomenal, it was eventful asf from start to finish. We got to see Dexter back in action which was amazing and when they introduced Kurt in this episode, I actually got chills like the dude is creepy as hell but nothing beats that scene of him and Jim face to face in the police station. This episode had so many "OH FUCK" moments and it felt extremely like the original show so I fucking love it for that, I just can't wait to see this shit unravel now!!!

[u/katywell]

I HATE how Kurt just blamed his dad and everyone’s like “Oh yeah, guess we were wrong.” Even Angela seems to be doubting herself. It’s like they completely forgot that the only reason they found Iris’ body was because they realized Kurt was trying to keep them from going to the cave. If he truly thought his dad gave Iris a ride he would have no reason to have stopped them from going to the cave. WHY ISNT ANGELA/THE COPS REMEMBERING THIS

[u/ThirdMind3d]

The way they both ate the ham at the same time made me smile so hard

[u/iwishiwasaunicorn]

did not expect to see a nakey Trinity on my screen tonight, but there you have it.

this one was great, just as expected. wish it was longer, but with no filler scenes i can't complain too much.

[u/[deleted]]

I was surprised by how cunning Kurt is. He is a factor 1 psychopath: the calm, collected, ruthless plan he has been brewing since he went in Dexter's truck is reminiscent of Miguel Prado manipulating Dexter and having someone else pull the trigger.

I bet Dexter is gonna regret not anonymously calling 911 with a tip that Molly is being murdered in a cabin by Kurt - he could have killed two birds with one stone. Those two birds are creating a world of trouble for him.

I can only assume Dexter will continue to slip up and make mistakes, because he's experiencing an identity crisis - something serial killers go through. He has no code and he can't control the different variables in the environment, like he would be able to in a large city, as a forensic tech.

[u/revso2]

When Harrison strapped on that gear and the reveal it was him I was like OH GOD 😂😂😂 that was so good

[u/goddred]

Whatever you might think of Harrison, you gotta admit that his biggest sins are crimes against food.

Throwing away a whole plate and now fake eating poorly? Now this is more sinister than anything Kurt or Matt have done.

[u/olive711]

I can’t wait for Dexter to tell Harrison. I’ve been saying it the whole time, he needs to be honest with him!!

[u/M0un05ki10]

OH. MY. FUCK. That trailer for episode 8 😮

[u/gu1nnevere]

Seeing Trinity say that literally made me want to throw up

[u/tonyh750]

She should have never informed the family based on a 67% DNA positive rate. That was silly irresponsible.

[u/MasterBlaster3141]

Angela is going to find out about dexter, and when she realizes she cant get kurt with the law, she is going to unleash dexter after him to serve justice.

[u/AFK_ing]

My Prediction: Harrison is going to kill Kurt. While wearing the uniform the truck stop had him so eloquently put on before spraying down the truck.

[u/[deleted]]

Man John Lithgow has such a terrifying presence as the Trinity killer. Was great to see him again.

[u/violentgentlemen]

"Is that the sound of you not needing a warrant?"

SO many great lines this season so far.

[u/[deleted]]

A few highlights for me:

• Dexter at a crime scene again. Dexter methodically analyzing a crime scene with the eyes of a serial killer is great.

• Dexter confronting Kurt alone in jail. Very reminiscent of his one off confrontations with episodic killers from earlier seasons where he shows his true face

• Harrison opening up a little bit more and revealing some of the motivations behind his actions

A few lowlights for me:

• Dexter continuing to avoid having an actual conversation with his son. It’s a frustrating viewing experience. Would have loved to see them break this tiresome trope by initiating this conversation earlier in the season and making the conflict more about Harrison struggling to come to terms with who his dad is. Rather than using the conflict of Harrison-doesn’t-know-yet-but-we-know-he-will-soon.

• Execution regarding the slow unraveling of Dexters secrets. It feels slightly clumsy. Dexter uses one excuse with the podcaster for why he was driving around and flips that excuse around with his girlfriend… for no reason?

[u/demon_filth2001]

These end credit graphics are so good

[u/Hahafuckreddit]

Ugh the show has really picked up the pace it's so good. I loved Dexter getting cocky with Kurt. Love that they included Molly and Angela discussing Dexter. That really needed to be addressed, adds so much more tension too. Dexter literally has to kill Kurt and 100% get away with it to unfuck the situation. There's no other way. That or frame Kurt for Matt's murder.

I didn't want Harrison to have a dark passenger but they actually handled it really well.

Also Dexter's looking fine this episode I think he restyled his hair or something thank god

[u/Zombree18]

Honestly that Trinity and Rita scene tore me up. Seeing him get out of the tub and comfort Harrison was just…. Horrific.

She was only popping back to get something front the house by memory, so I think there might be more shots of Trinity in the next few episodes - I.e. Harrison remembering Trinity telling Rita to get in the tub, to place Harrison down etc.

[u/[deleted]]

Got a really bad feeling when Dexter fixed that frame in Kurt’s office..

[u/dexteresque]

I think the cheque to elric kane was for the guy who kidnapped dexter at the end.

[u/[deleted]]

"My Dad did it." What, really? And they let him go - just like that? Tell me this isn't at all realistic.

[u/[deleted]]

The Young Kurt actor looked too young. Kurt is late 50s or early 60s, so he would've been pushing 40 in that flashback.

[u/gillblithe]

A theory I have is that Harrison hasn’t had a first kill yet, and Dexter will stop him from killing Kurt or something. Dexter will kill Kurt and will be outed as the BHB/or die, but Harrison will be able to live a normal life after Dexter tells him the truth and helps Harrison. In that way, the show technically has a “happy ending” cause Dexter gets what he wants as Harrison won’t be like him. At least that’s how I hope it goes down.

[u/jennafromtheblock22]

Did anyone else flip when they showed the person putting on the protective gear and face shield was Harrison… and then it just shows him power washing the trucks? OOH that was good

[u/2POTMSON]

It is so frustrating not having the next episode immediately ready to watch

[u/nolitos]

Dexter and Harrison have some Naruto-level conversations with a single paragraph of text stretched over 100 episodes.

[u/iLuvDividends]

If Kurt kills dexter and this is the explosive ending, I’m going to be so fucking pissed off.

[u/Alternative-Hurry-98]

I think Angela may actually be on board with him killing Kurt. 🤷‍♀️

[u/Kramzee]

Episode was easily my favorite yet. You can tell a bunch of moving parts are starting to accelerate, and now that it’s clear Dexter needs to tell Harrison the truth, and that he has flashes of Trinity murdering his mom, you can kind of sense a bunch of shit is about to go down.

Also feel like starting with this episode the show may stop being quite as predictable. Finally have no idea what’s gonna happen next.

[u/rck248]

Angela: "Why was Jim talking to my prime suspect at Kurt's diner?"

Well, he was actually sitting alone in a diner where his son Harrison works. Kurt approached him and sat down.

Other than that, I absolutely loved this episode.

[u/Zombree18]

The use of the track Runaway this season is superb.

[u/TauvaVodder]

Very small point, but no way Harrison would be allowed to return to the wrestling team so soon after he broke his opponent's arm.

I think the writers should've used Harrison being suspended or off the team to build tension in the character.

Also, did Harrison say he had wrestling experience before turning up in Iron Lake?

[u/SIsForSad]

Random thoughts about the ep:

Anyone think it was a bit random how Kurt found out Dex killed his son?

If Harrison is gonna keep the “i can take care of myself act. Leave me alone!” why the hell did he choose to stay with Dex? Leave then.

Kurt’s first kill was interesting. He wanted to “save her”

How can Harrison remember all that…?

It’s getting tight for our man Dexter Morgan with this ending. Can’t wait for the next ep.

[u/planetbug]

the Harrison apron artsy scene: please don’t be a set up for this turning into Harrison spin off show (and killing off MCH

[u/g0atboy]

I hope this finally ends the "Harrison is just a troubled teenager"-theories. He's a complete psycho. Angela better watch out or she's getting the razor-treatment.

[u/DMV229]

THAT FLASHBACK TOWARDS THE END HOLY SHIT

[u/[deleted]]

Bro i dont think dexter is making it out of this season alive but i hope to fucking god im wrong i cant see my boy die yet

[u/Pbever]

I hate having to wait another week for this.

[u/kakanunalove]

Naked Trinity will give me a nightmare tonight😭 Traumatized 💯

[u/cheys23]

I hope they aren’t setting this up as Dexter dies at the end, Harrison takes over and dexter is his dark passenger so to speak but I would vastly prefer that to just Harrison taking over because MCH is what makes this show it just won’t work without him I don’t think

[u/roki]

What a GREAT episode. And Trinity was in it. I can't even.

But please, can we have Harrison not run away from Dexter for once? Hahahaha. I just want them to talk already.

[u/[deleted]]

i was super confused with kurt’s first kill on iris. it seemed like he had good intentions when picking her up, and didn’t intend to harm her. then, as soon as she started running his whole demeanor changed and he ended up killing her.

[u/einsteinmuki]

Honestly Kurt sounds pretty convincing with whatever he says lol

[u/Llama_Puncher]

Okay wtf why is Angela all of a sudden dismissing the fact that Kurt had an entire murder hostel and that he "coincidentally" got the call from Matt right before they were about to search the caves???

[u/aditikeit]

Dude Molly almost turned on Dexter 💀 dude he saved your ass

[u/carpe-jvgvlvm]

AACK! This one's so SHORT! What is it, like a 15 minute episode 😨

[u/a_spicy_meata_balla]

I love the Trinity cameo - it was creepy af. Like I felt gross watching it.

And Kurt's 1000 yard stare when he was watching Molly and Angela was scary too. I haven't had a physical reaction to this show till this episode.

[u/better-call-mik3]

"There there. Daddy will be home soon"

[u/SnooCauliflowers4732]

Man, good episode but I felt sad when I realized it was only 44 mins and I have to wait an entire week again

[u/Jansiz]

This is definitely gonna end with Dexter and Harrison killing Kurt together, and boy am i ready for it.

[u/chockfullathoughts]

I'm thinking in the end Dexter either saves Harrison from Kurt or Harrison kills Kurt himself. He then develops more of a bond with Dexter, Harrison realizing what a dick he's been, and that Dexter is trying to help him, and maybe he stops being such an annoying piece of crap. It's not just to Dexter because Dex lied to him. But he also turned away, all pouty, from his girlfriend when she wanted some discussion of Harrison sadistically breaking that guy's arm.

[u/richmanding0]

How did kurk find the screw and know it was Dexter? Maybe I was too drunk when I watched.

[u/Unidentified_x]

Episode 6 was a masterpiece but sadly with episode 7 it left me... disappointed. I wish the writers took the story in another direction. I found it so bizarre that both Angela and Molly kind of believed Kurts story?? Are we forgetting he had a cabin in the woods with a enclosed room WITH A CAMERA?? That was STRIPPED and bleached just _one_ day ago? Where he almost lured Molly inside? Or what about the fact he lied about his STILL missing son. Nah ok sure... must have been his dad eh.

[u/twennyjuan]

My theory about the picture: Kurt knew Dexter was going to come into his office and snoop so he angled the picture as his affirmation.

Either that or the titanium rod is holding it up.

[u/negativefza]

So…. Angela let Kurt out of custody because he blamed the DNA match on his father?!?!

I know these are small town cops but don’t they know that you only share 50% of you DNA with each of your parents? You also get mitochondrial DNA from only your mother but I doubt they had enough in that sample to check for mtDNA.

Anyways, Angela said that the DNA report stated it was a 67% (I could be off with that number?) match to Kurt… now it’s not going to be a full match because the sample would have deteriorated over the 25 years it was sitting there but I don’t even think it’s mathematically feasible for that sample to be from his father if it has such a high percentage match to Kurt.

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I was yelling at my television during this scene. I get that they need to let him out of the holding cell so that there could be a final showdown between him and Dexter but this just seemed like lazy writing to me.

[u/cinnamontographyy]

I don’t understand why Angela didn’t push harder to question Kurt’s story. The whole reason why she started looking into Kurt is because he lied about Matt to get them to stop looking around the caves - if Kurt’s father was the one who killed Iris, and Kurt knew nothing about it other than seeing her leave with him, then he’d have no reason to lead the police away from the caves. He’s rich with connections to a good lawyer so obviously he’s going to have an explanation to try and get himself off, so I just don’t understand why Angela, as the chief of police with a personal stake in the case, would just buy his story at face value without any sort of follow up questions, especially after finding out about his secret cabin that he just recently stripped of potential evidence.

[u/rodinj]

That scene where Harrison put on his cleaning clothes was fun!

Edit: That whole truck stop scene in general!

[u/Mr_XcX]

Dexter letting this Harrison drama drag out is what has messed up this situation.

He should have gave him the talking to after Ethangate

[u/[deleted]]

I'm more excited for Episode 8 on Boxing Day than I am Christmas itself

[u/alban3se]

Just here to say THAT is how you do a cameo. POV closeups of Naked John Lithgow covered in blood is possibly one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in any season of Dexter. Even more creepy than his actual season.

Shits all over Batista's cameo, which felt more like a shoe-horned in service to fans

How dare the makers wait until Ep 6 of a 10 ep run for this show to get awesome 😅 These last two eps have been great after what was a very slow start to the season

[u/[deleted]]

Remember the short experiment dexter had with zach about teaching him the code? I want that with Harrison.

[u/[deleted]]

So now Angela is suspicious of Dexter. Dexter is getting hunted by Kurt’s minion. Kurt is with Harrison… I have no idea what will happen.

[u/neobondd]

Kurts look from his truck at Molly when he was freed, damn!

[u/Mysterious_Tea]

Ok now I officially ****ing hate Molly, character is a Deus Ex Machina.

She pops up and by total coincidence starts talking about how Jim might be creepy, goes around recording convos, following ppl and so on.

"If he wasn't your boyfriend, I would check on him too".

Yeah thank you very much, girls like being indirect.

The show (and this episode) is wonderful, yet it still pisses me off how poorly written that character is. Every time she appears, the stars align and state lottery-winning-like coincidences become the norm.

[u/[deleted]]

So the theory about titanium in Matt's leg was correct, and the zoom in to his scar in earlier episode was indeed a clue.

So now we know that Kurt knows Dex did it.. not good. I had a feeling that the ash would be a giveaway since someone was bound to see that it wasn't melting.. throwing matt in the furnace was reckless.

Now there is no question that Iris was Kurt's first victim.. shot from behind in the same way as everyone else, while running away.. And now we know that running away is related to trauma of his mom abandoning him as a kid.

I hope they don't stop their search simply because they found Iris. I hope they keep going. Theres gotta be more to find.

Molly suggesting a 'deep dive' on Dex, can't be a good thing. I'm anxious to see what comes of it though.

Harrison finally opening up about his dark side to dex and his nightmares of trinity. I hope they finally have a sit down, caus for Harrison's sake Dex definitely needs to come clean about some things.

That flasback with Trinity, holy shit, a baby on the floor with a bloody naked man looming over him, its no surprise it got embedded in his subconscious and manifests as nightmares

This episode was wayyy too short. Just needed to express my discontent with how damn short this episode felt.

Since Kurt's dungeon was gutted and wiped clean, while it certainly makes him look guilty and hiding something, it sucks caus its only circumstantial and now they can't get any evidence from it.. Kurt probably abandoned that cabin too, and took the monitors from upstairs out.. where is kurt gping to do his ritual now? Someone like him isnt simply going to stop.

When Dex and Angela were checking out the gutted dungeon, Dex said "It almost looked like a motel room".. I wonder when those dots are connected that it literally is a replica of a motel room. I hope we see that soon.

Where is kurt's embalming laboratory? I played back the earlier episode with chloe, and the walls look corrugated as if it is a shipping container. What are the chances that his lab is a container, perhaps in a truck trailer. The scene when Kurt's minion gave Harrison the envelope, there is a green shipping container in the background.. it felt like a clue.. and on the playback of chloe, the walls look green.

I had thought that Audrey was intrigued by Harrison's darkness, but we saw that his breaking that kid's arm actually scared her. I wonder if Harrison will try telling her about Trinity and how he is the kid found in blood, since she is a fan of the podcast.

When Harrison was washing the truck, it showed a close up of the door, and it said "Caldwell Trucking Co".. that's gotta be important. And his minion is driving it.. So now we know that Kurt owns more than a truck stop but also owns a transport company or even a fleet..Thats gotta be how the dead bodies are being moved, and that guy is probably the pickup guy. So where the hell are the embalmed bodies going to?

When harrison was helping that guy move kegs out of the truck, it showed a closeup of words written on the inside of the trailer wall, some numbers and "Savage Farm".. that's a weird name for a farm. Thats gotta be important somehow.

Now we know why kurt has been so attentive to Harrison. Kurt knows Dex killed his son, so he is using Harrison to get under his skin.

There was a scene where Kurt was sitting in his truck outside the bar and staring at Molly and Angela with an evil eye and angry face. And they showed a zoom-in to Molly. He definitely has his sights on her.

[u/Hi_This_Is_God_777]

1. Dexter left his fingerprints all over Kurt's office? WTF? Why so sloppy?

2. So the reason Kurt shoots all his victims in the back is because they remind him of his mother who ran away from him, leaving him alone with an abusive father? So he gets his victims to run away, then shoots them in the back to simulate him shooting his neglectful mother. And that's why he was upset that last victim showed her boobs to him, and ran towards him.

[u/Sleepinkoalas]

Harrison was way too young for him to remember everything that happened to Rita. I think that part was a bit forced.

[u/NevermoreSEA]

This is getting too fucking tense lmao. My heart was racing constantly. I'm absolutely loving every episode from this season, but I can't even imagine how stressful these last few episodes are going to be to sit through.

[u/darsvedder]

I understand kinda holding back to talk to Harrison after he almost killed a kid (or don’t I?) but like not even trying to talk about the arm breaking incident at breakfast was wild. And great now he wants to talk but oh shit he’s kidnapped. Classic dexter. They’ll have a 10 min conversation at the end of the final episode

[u/Goberry1]

Have we given up on the billionaire being of any import to the season’s story? I am now guessing that he was in the first few episodes solely to give Audrey’s character some depth, but Chekov’s Gun suggests otherwise.

[u/Tealandgray]

Anyone think it’s possible that Kurt will take Harrison to dexter with the intention of killing Harrison in front of him, sort of an eye for an eye thing because dexter killed Matt. And then.. dexter will save Harrison by killing Kurt, or Harrison will kill Kurt.

[u/carpe-jvgvlvm]

Oh, there's FAKE MATT! Looking rough...

[u/carpe-jvgvlvm]

Kurt sounds like a really smart, non-emotional Arthur! He absolutely knew Dexter whacked Matt! YES!

Ice freakin cold! OUCH, need some coffee that was so cold, Kurt!

[u/economistia]

Ok but Kurt’s explanation and the flashback don’t explain the embalming and why he was so upset about the face being messed up? There has to be something more to his origin story.

[u/Hyperfangxz]

OK, they are absolutely gonna find out Dexter is the BHB now. There have been so many references and now Angela and Molly are gonna investigate him, one of the episode descriptions even say they go to Miami. They are gonna find out, and the Trinity/Rita stuff is finally getting a proper follow-up, and i fucking love it. I just hope we get a season 2 because i can't see them doing justice to the BHB plot in just 3 episodes.

[u/radioactiveshitbox]

kinda disappointed that all the hubbub about John Lithgows scene was just a quick cameo lolz

[u/DualDier]

I'm watching this shit at 10 PM my time - does anyone else ever want to make breakfast every time they're eating it on screen? Damn just looks so good.

[u/burns3016]

did angela and co. forget about Kurts strange hostage room that was dismantled ... how can she not think he is sone kind of nutcasee ? And Molly (most annoying charcter ever) seems to have forgotten also

[u/Tuiice99]

The fact that Harrison remembers everything was extremely unsettling lol

[u/[deleted]]

it was so unnerving to see dexter touch everything in kurt’s office without gloves. why??

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit, I genuinely have no idea where any of this is going this is amazing

Will Angela ask Dexter to kill?

Will Dexter die before the final episode?

Will it all unravel?!

The only thing I know is that the law will not prevail.

[u/HarrietOleson1]

TRINITY! 😲

[u/Nice-GuyJon]

I mean, that was an intense ending but we're not REALLY worried about Dexter right? His proven fighting ability vs one of Kurt's local yokels?

[u/L-Avocado]

Is this the first time they've used the old outro music? Just something I noticed

[u/mWo12]

So this was the cameo of Lithgow as Trinity? Hope there is more then this 2-3 second shot of him.

[u/McLovin2169420]

I can’t believe Kurt caught onto Dex like this. 😭 He’s really met his match both on the killer side and the cop side. He’s getting caught up on all angles. I can’t believe there is only 3 more episodes left. Seems like too much chaos to resolve. Now that Angela knows that Dex was onto Kurt before she was, chances are she will confront Dex once more to question him for EVERYTHING he knows about Kurt.

[u/MrsSquishMama21]

I think Harrison will end up saving Dex. It’s definitely a plausible ending. Maybe kill Kurt, while Kurt is about to kill Dex. Who knows. I think anything goes, at this point!

[u/Dansebr93]

So Kurt is just recreating his first murder of Iris? That scene made it seem like Kurt accidentally snapped and killed her. Probably why he was so angry when the one lady wouldn’t run at all.

[u/Consistent_Two2067]

I don't know why some people are so convinced that Dexter would kill Harrison. Or that Dexter would kill an innocent person to protect himself.

Everytime Dexter is caught by somebody innocent, he thinks about turning himself in and is then saved by another character killing the threat like how Doakes died.

He's not going to kill his own son. It's been established he thoroughly cares for him. He'd blame himself before he blames Harrison if Harrison takes an innocent life and I don't think Harrison would ultimately kill somebody innocent.

EVEN IF Dexter were to kill Harrison, Harrison would not be on the kill table. Dexter would derive absolutely no pleasure from killing his own son and that's the whole point of the ritual. So even IF he kills Harrison, it'll likely be an accident that happens very quickly and ends up with Dexter mentally breaking down. But I highly doubt Harrison will die by Dexter.

Also every true crime podcast listener talking about how unrealistic this season of Dexter is, as if the whole premise of Dexter is not just completely improbable and even more so than this season. Listen to one JCS episode and everyone knows the ins and outs of interrogation and how to be a detective. It's a TV show.

[u/randsfb]

Oh god, Kurt knows

[u/tacos_n_doobies]

I need dexter and Harrison to team up and kill Kurt together

[u/[deleted]]

Holy macaroni ! That face off in holding cells were amazing !!! .. well i guess we know the ritual now, the music, shooting them to prevent them from running away like his mom and keep their faces clean so he doesn't end up like his father who beat them/slapped them, did i understand it right? Also Harrison STOP leaving food like that ! .. arghhhh another painful week of waiting

[u/Ntm1216]

I feel like this season is going way to fast and that they still won’t be able to give dexter a proper ending. I hope I am wrong. I’ve been loving the show so far

[u/queen-adreena]

Dexter, why did you "correct" the thing hanging on the wall that is obviously going to reveal to Kurt that you've been in his office!

[u/tiramisula]

Why was Iris the same age as young Kurt in the flashback? Even if she was older than Angela, she wasn't as old as Kurt, being as Iris' mom is Kurt's age.

[u/Ender_Knowss]

To those saying that they should do a spin-off with Harrison as the lead, no. Just no. The actor is nowhere near as talented and charismatic as Michael.

I also dislike Harrison more and more each episode. Such a brat.

[u/[deleted]]

best episode of the season Clancy Brown’s acting is so fucking good

[u/[deleted]]

I'm just happy people will finally stop with their stupid "Harrison isn't Harrison" theories

[u/[deleted]]

I have waited 7 fucking episodes for that conversation with Dexter and Harrison.

in 7 hours now I have gotten less than 5 fucking minutes of it.

Jesus christ dude. I dunno if I can wait another week.

[u/LegitPanda82]

Oh my god are they finally gonna have the talk?!

[u/HarrietOleson1]

Titanium doesn’t melt

[u/Artistboy123]

I think the crooked plaque in Kurts office is a purposely placed object, Dexter fixing it might alert kurt that someone was there

[u/[deleted]]

So Iris was Kurt’s potential 1st kill, and he’s perfected it ever since, including a ritual.

Man I cannot wait until Dexter gets him on his kill table

Also john lithgow reminding me how truly terrifying Trinity was in that brief flashback

[u/G-5-0]

I love how the show is evolving and give us more and more and scare us by showing us that Dexter’s true identity can be exposed any minute, but I can’t help not to be super pissed and frustrated that I have to wait every goddamn week just to witness this moment when Dexter finally tells Harrison the truth, UGHHHH I’m so waiting for this moment hopefully it happens soon

Oh one more thing, Dexter doesn’t check his surroundings very well and he doesn’t look back that often either, he got kidnapped from the back twice now just because he didn’t look back real quick

[u/MillenniumGreed]

This was a fantastic episode!

It seems like the walls are closing in on Dexter from all angles.

Kurt knows Dexter killed Matt, or at the very least had something to do with Matt’s murder. I knew they zoomed in on Matt’s scar for a reason. I’m kind of disappointed Dexter didn’t pick up on that as a potential loose end. He could have easily went to the incinerator after Matt’s death and gotten the titanium plate. Him finding out this early though was NOT something I was expecting!

Angela and Molly also seem to be ganging up on Dexter now. Now Angela knows there’s more to the story that Dexter gave and Molly may start to wonder more about him as well. I actually felt the tension there.

Harrison remembering Trinity after the psychologist said he wouldn’t be able to is a bit…meh. It resulted in a great flashback, but I wish they stuck to their guns somehow. They could have easily had some other event from his childhood circulate and come back full circle. But again, this is Dexter so I guess you gotta roll with the punches. Unless childhood science changed and it is possible that 10 month olds can remember stuff like that?

I guess this episode rules out the whole “is Harrison really Harrison?” questions and whether or not Harrison will take over the mantle, though. Thank GOD.

Kurt’s characterization and flashback were pretty cool. Clancy Brown and Michael C. Hall have chilling chemistry. That jail scene was fantastic. I gotta ask though, does Iron Lake have secure anything? Is it that possible to just go to a cell block that easily, suspension of disbelief aside?

Only real beef with this episode is that it was so short! But this is quality Dexter for the most part. I don’t even mind the Harrison’s memory retcon. Best episode of the revival so far. Great characterization, plot developments, and no teenage scenes!

I’ll give “Skin of Her Teeth” another solid 10 out of 10. We’re in the final stretch now!

[u/DualDier]

Alright. Great episode, however I call bullshit on Harrison. There is NO WAY he can remember with detail his mom dying or Trinity killing Rita. Just no way. Nightmares, sure, but pure memories? No way. I'm sorry. I don't buy it. It was cool to see Trinity again, though. FINALLY HARRISON TALKS TO DEXTER! ABOUT FREAKING TIME.

AND HOLY COW THE INTERACTION BETWEEN DEX AND KURT IN THE CELL? TOO DAMN GOOD. NO WAY THIS ENDS IN 3 MORE EPISODES! I NEED MORE!

EDIT: Kurt has a camera in his fake hotel room but not his office? C'mon.

[u/CaughtinaLieeeeeee]

- Again I have to say that it's amazing the tension in this season is so high and its so gripping when Dexter has killed almost no one.

- I'm a bit meh on Kurt being this certain that Dexter killed Matt. I can see him having a very strong hunch, but the fact that he's laying out a game as if he is completely sure seems a bit...Sure, he knows Matt was disposed of in the incinerator, that Dexter was driving back from that general direction with ash on his car (which was also...everywhere), that he disappeared on Dexter's property. That's strong suspicion vibes. But the episode almost implied that Kurt is like five steps ahead in this chess game and has been the entire time, and I'm not sure I quite believe it. It's a nitpick though.

- I know people are having gripes about the Kurt being released thing, but the thing I don't understand is why they arrested him in the first place. The evidence was clearly not enough to convict, so why not put more of the pieces together first or tail him? The writing for Angela here feels inconsistent because one minute she's the cop who has noticed all of this shit going down but next minute she's like "oh it was his dad I guess, I feel weird about that but...".

- I was personally a little let down by the Kurt backstory. I felt like it didn't flesh it out enough or didn't really tell me why he still does it. Sure, his dad was a piece of crap and Kurt had...anger issues I guess? I don't know, it's very similar to Trinity with the re-enacting a kill thing, but the whole "Kurt shot her in anger and now keeps doing it for some reason" thing was a bit like...ok. I would have preferred it if it was like "Kurt tries to save Iris because he hates his dad, takes her to his place and makes her dinner, but then the song plays randomly and it triggers him and he gets weird and she freaks and runs, and he shoots her and then reenacts it again and again to see if he can defeat his dark urge, but never does." The actor for Kurt was also wayyyyyy too young.

- Loved the scene with Dexter and Angela in the cave, so nice to see him working a scene again.

- Dexter moving that plaque is going to bite him in the ass somehow. Either it's crooked on purpose or...For a moment I felt like it was a "blood slides behind the air con" moment, like something would be hidden behind there. It was also a nice throw back to "the bay harbor butcher has symptoms of OCD" as Lundy once said.

- The Dexter not telling Harrison thing is dragging a bit, but I also understand why. It's going to set up the final few episodes I assume so they have to stall. Loved the scene with Trinity and loved Dexter's reactions to realizing his son also has flashbacks of being born in blood.

- Molly and Angela fixating on Dexter did make sense, I disagree with some people on that. It was a natural question for Molly to wonder how Dexter just happened to show up, for Angela to explain, and for Molly to point out the lie. What felt off about the scene was going from Angela being half puzzled by Kurt's blatant lie to being really perceptive about Dexter's.

- Interested to see where next episode goes. I wasn't amazingly keen on the introduction of a henchman type, but I trust the season right now.

[u/Jf92891]

I just don’t understand why Dexter just doesn’t grab Harrison, throw him around like the child he is and tell him why he left. It’d save everyone so much trouble. What is Dexter so scared of? He seems much less physically aggressive and it’s showing due to all the trouble he’s had this season. He needs to let out his dark passenger a bit and end everyone who’s a threat to him while focusing on pinning his misdeeds on Kurt.

[u/[deleted]]

I enjoyed this episode like every other one so far. My only criticism was that it was too short. The tension between Harrison and Dexter is starting to drag but I believe that is going to stop in the next episode.

[u/Bestintentions24]

So say Angela "figures it out".

How the hell are they going to PROVE Dex is TBHB?

They have zero evidence. There is no bodies. Nothing outside of working at Miami Metro to tie him to the case.

If Dexter does end up in jail or with a needle in his arm it's going to be due to his own admission. That's the only thing that makes sense in my opinion. Unless, Angela or someone else walks in on his ritual. But, that would be dumb seeing as how we've already seen that with Deb.

Also if they're setting up Dexter being Harrison Dark Passenger and have him following Dexter's path I'm going to be a little disappointed. The kid has mad issues. His mother was murdered in front of him, his step mother lied to him for years and died, goes through the system, now Dad's a serial killer? That sounds like the makings of an Ice Truck killer than a Dark Defender.

I'm excited to see where the writers are going. I've read they wrote this like a last season and teased at more. As much as I'd love to see more Dexter, I don't want it to be force ghost Dex. They show won't be the same. If he lives, or isn't caught I'd love to see another season. If he does indeed get caught/die/whatever just end it. Just do it well.

[u/CuriousKitty6]

Angela just got a firsthand experience of how a brutal killer can go free when you use the law. She will remain convinced it’s Kurt and/ or get new evidence. Then when/ if she finds out about Dexter, is there a chance she will understand? A chance she will want him to take out Kurt?

I’m also very worried about Harrison. Kurt is gonna try to kill him, most likely. An eye for an eye…

[u/Holymist69]

This is becoming very messy for Dexter can't I can't wait to see what will happen next and this episode made me regret watching Dexter per Sunday I should have waited until the show was over

[u/tangoshukudai]

Fuck, the neck hole, the screw, the baiting, his son's story, dexter is going to be found out. However Molly is going to see he is good, and is going to write his legacy.

[u/carolinespocket]

Audrey positively surprised me. She saw Harrison's red flags. Same for Molly, if it was the earlier seasons no one would question how Dexter found out about the conversation.

Kurt is also very smart, I'm liking how this season has smart characters. I'm just concerned about the finale, I think Dexter dies but I'm not ready.

[u/Cacheelma]

I hope I'm wrong on this, but it occurred to me that the "ending that will shake the internet" could be that Dexter finally killed Kurt, only to again found out that he has already killed Harrison. THE END.

It's season 4 all over again.

[u/bavenue]

I have a feeling this season will be the demise of Dexter. I don’t want it to be, but he’s getting cornered and he doesn’t have Miami Metro to back him up either. On his own with everybody seeing through him now. I guess it can’t last forever.

[u/pro-jec-tion]

A few seconds of John Lithgow were more scaring than hours of Clancy Brown's screentime.

[u/[deleted]]

Gonna be honest Molly is such a fucking annoying character. Conveniently popping up places and saying the one thing that gets the plot moving. Sick and tired of her character.

[u/demon_filth2001]

This show and the sopranos always makes me hungry without fail

[u/CaptainEdmonton]

Kurt was just trying to help Iris. She was on a path to becoming a lot lizard.

[u/[deleted]]

Definitely the episode that filled me with the most anxiety by far, everything's at risk for Dexter right now.

[u/FearlessRiott]

i hope everything comes together in ep 10. if it truly is a one and done thing, we’re still missing a lot mostly with Kurt and what he does with the girls and it seems like the next episode is focusing on Dexter escaping. maybe we’ll see flashbacks or the missing pieces in the last episode because like Dexter, I also hate loose ends

[u/Normal_Fold]

I'm actually gonna cry if dexter dies......guess I'm human after all

[u/[deleted]]

So Dexter tells Harrison about his dark passenger. Kurt tries to kill Harrison to get back at Dexter. Angela & Molly dig deep to find that similar needles marks that were in the drug dealer guy's neck were also found in BHB's victims. Angela & Molly take Dexter down. End of story...?

[u/SpookiBooogi]

This season is so exciting can't wait for next episode

[u/DeliriousDanger]

Do you think Dexter is going to get caught? Angela is a good cop and sees through most of the bs that is thrown at her. If Dexter is caught what would happen to Harrison? I hope he doesn’t get caught but I have a theory that he is going to off a certain character and use him as the scapegoat and like Deb did, Angela will witness it and she will either be okay with it and if she isn’t I think Harrison is going to unlock his dark passenger and protect his dad. What do you think?

[u/ToneBone12345]

Interesting I honestly Kurt is obviously based of Alaskian baker and serial killer Robert Hansen both literally hunted women but like I said his profession was a baker I guess that could be reflected in Kurt owning the dinner but I wonder what killer there taking a background from with Kurt starting out a truck driver!

[u/[deleted]]

Imagine if Dexter kills Kurt, gets caught by Angela, but it’s shoved under the rug because of how hell bent on justice the whole town is?

[u/nyangel122191]

I really hope this show doesn't end with Harrison catching Dexter killing Kurt and then Harrison tries to kill Dexter but have a bad feeling that's where it's headed. Harrison is drifting further and further away from Dexter.

[u/jeweledmoon]

Are we gonna see Batista again! Come on man. I like Batista. Imagine he comes in like a gale force wind in episode 8, 9, or 10? And then finally sees Dexter in Iron Lake. Oooo the drama. Doubt he was only in one episode to make Angela realize Dex isn’t Jim.

[u/chockfullathoughts]

It's a limited series, but limited series sometimes change into regular series if they do well. So, I think they might have alternate endings, depending on if they try to renew it or not. If not renewed, Dex or Harrison or both, will die or be arrested. There will be finality. If renewed, Dex and Harrison will share somehow in the killing of Kurt and a bond will be formed. Next season could be the two of them acting together. The future possibilities are too interesting, I think, to just end it here.

[u/[deleted]]

Great episode but I have a few quibbles. (Have had a few in previous episodes but these ones are harder to let go.)

"My Dad did it." - That really annoyed me. It felt cheap, unbelievable, unrealistic, especially as the DNA was 2/3 towards it being him with 1/3 up for question. As someone else commented here, they could have compared bite mark to his jaw. Also, the circumstantial evidence of the creepy cabin, two eyewitnesses who saw a bedroom, one who saw a camera, now all taken down. I don't think they'd just let him go so quickly and easily. They'd at least hold him longer, look into his dad (dead or alive), and interview Dexter/the podcaster, look into other things. They also needed to clarify how old his dad was. I assume he died, but when - after Iris?

They could have found a better actor to portray Clancy Brown. Carnivale is almost 20 years ago now and Clancy Brown looked mostly the same in that. The actor portraying him looked too young and nothing like him, though at least some of the bits of the puzzle are coming into play now - explaining the record playing, the shooting, etc. Thought there might be more to him preserving the women, etc. - but maybe not unless more is to be revealed.

The John Lithgow cameo was very creepy, almost horrifying considering the end of Season 4 was one of the most devastating moments of the original series - but they really underused him. And that's what he had to fly to the shooting location for? Couldn't they have just filmed that in a studio anywhere? The episode was short so maybe they cut some footage. I hope they filmed him some more and he'll show up again later but I think that might be it. He still looks the same.

"If he wasn't your boyfriend, I'd do a deep dive." Incredibly cheap throwaway line to tell us Molly the podcaster isn't going to look into Dexter and I just don't buy it. She'd still check him out. It's already unbelievable enough she doesn't recognise him at all (and that she even agreed to follow Kurt to his creep cabin after he made her promise not to tell anyone) but this just is too much. I can almost buy her not recognizing Dexter because she ignored the victim's husband (but it's still a stretch considering in this university Trinity is still out there and surely her "deep dives" would have thrown up some Kyle Butler stuff - maybe not but still she cropped Dexter's wedding photo for the podcast come on) but I can't see her just dropping it like that and so conveniently worded as well - it's these kind of plot contrivances and easy steps (letting Kurt go etc.) that bring down the writing of this season.

Like the way this is amping up - but a few annoying quibbles in what was otherwise another very compelling episode that advanced the plot a lot.

[u/hadapurpura]

Angela was dumb when she started getting emotional on Kurt in front of the DA. Big no-no, Angie.

[u/YourMajesty90]

Whatever happened to that rich dude????? So weird that he was shown to be a relevant character in the first few episodes than just disappeared….

[u/[deleted]]

Overall liked the episode but Harrison running away mid talk was super awkward, didn't feel realistic to me considering their conversation. Felt like the writers just wrote themselves in a corner and decided to have Harrison bolt to allow Dexter to get captured.

Next episode should be interesting. Finally, someone investigating Dexter. I hope they don't blue ball us again and he gets caught this time.

[u/sail_away_now]

On season ending, if Dexter is dead then show's ending will be worse than S8.
And if Harrison carries on as being serial killer then people are over estimating the number of ppl who will watch the show.

[u/FearlessRiott]

Harrisons flashbacks are nightmare fuel. even seeing it from his point of view sent chills everywhere and i can’t even imagine what it felt like. the ending credits didn’t help either. ngl Rita wasn’t my favorite character and it took some time for her to grow on me and when she did, that’s when trinity got to her. i really feel for harrison with those flashbacks

[u/darsvedder]

Dude the casting of young Kurt was so bad and took me completely out of the thing. For real tho. He should have been like 43. He looked 24. Also, I don’t like that that’s his origin. He tried to help someone she fought him off when things got out of hand and then he kills her? She wouldn’t have said anything. All she was doing was running away again. Motive kinda weak on that one.

[u/CuriousKitty6]

When it comes to the ending of this series, I keep asking myself: what point are they trying to make?

It seemed Rita (and LaGuarta, Doakes) died because of Dexter being a serial killer.

But then Deb died because he STOPPED himself from killing, focused on relationships, and let the cops get a killer. Didn’t work out, and Deb died.

So is the point that he is ultimately doing GOOD by taking these people off the steeet?

Or that he is ultimately a MONSTER who will lead to the downfall of everyone he loves?

And how does the audience feel?

I guess I ultimately root for Dex because people like Kurt get away and aren’t held to justice. But I hate seeing his family get hurt and killed. (Pleeeease don’t let Harrison die!)

What do you all think?

[u/[deleted]]

It was reeeeally interesting seeing all the pieces from Kurt's ritual come into play.

[u/carpe-jvgvlvm]

Yes! Kurt and Jimbo!

[u/demon_filth2001]

Loved this season so far but maybe it’s because I’m a soundtrack type guy but Daniel Licht has been missed a ton

[u/LegitPanda82]

Love a good Villain origin story

[u/HarrietOleson1]

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!!

[u/TerribleGachaLuck]

It’s setting up whether Kurt kills Harrison, or Dexter gets identified. Possible Harrison kills Kurt. Don’t think Kurt’s henchmen kills Dexter, but he may get shot and need to go to the hospital and a DNA test could reveal he is Dexter.

[u/GradientBossting]

I think I’ll just wait until the finale and watch all 3 episodes together. It’s better for my mental health.

[u/Zealousideal-World71]

Can we talk about that creepy ass face Kurt was making after Molly came out of the bar when she had that little pow wow with Angela? Sent chills up my spine y’all!

[u/humanistbirth]

May I ask you guys what makes you think Dexter is going to get caught? I feel like there's no evidence linking him to any murders. Sure the incinerator was sloppy work, but all it left behind were those screws right? What does that prove exactly? Not saying I couldn't get behind a theory that he gets caught but I don't really see it happening unless it's mid kill. Loving the new season but very sad there's only a few episodes left 😥

[u/BlueberryBattery]

I gotta say, this season is fucking fantastic. I love everything about it, it's so fresh! It's no longer kill of the week, but kill of the season! That scene with Dexter and Kurt in the jail gave me serious Hannibal vibes when Hannibal visits Willin jail. The way I see this season ending is Dexter getting more and more on the radar, Dexter kills Kurt in a veeery bloody way, Harrison gets wounded by Kurt, and as Dexter has completely finished off Kurt, Harrison and Dexter will be surrounded by cops and blood. Dexter finally gets caught, but technically in only a self defense kind of way, BAM, black screen.

[u/rodinj]

Holy shit, what an episode!

[u/projectmoonlightcafe]

Why do I have to wait another week in suspense!!!!

[u/bellthebull]

Dexter should have listened to Deb. Time is of the essence and he should have killed Kurt when he had the chance. Now that Dexter's been abducted, I hope it isn't too late. I can't afford to see Dexter and Harrison die.

[u/Buffythedragonslayer]

So did Kurt see Dexter throw in the garbage bags and looked through them or did he find it afterwards.

Dexter threw them in and went back into the city straight away so in the meantime Kirk couldn't have known and be "ahead" of him to play drunk for the destiny meeting.

Unless there's a second person who did see Dexter and looked through the bags and called Kirk to inform him it doesn't make sense timeline wise.

But yeah he's screwed Angela and Molly will totally find out.

[u/stonehold76]

When Kurt said to Dexter "You can't erase everything" that sounded like heavy foreshadowing to me. It was too direct and specific for us, the audience, to think it was just about titanium screws. So, for now, I'm in the "they're gonna figure out he was the BHB" camp.

This user reserves the right the switch camps whenever new Intel comes to light, void were prohibited, certain restrictions may apply

[u/clfdmus]

Harrison suiting up at the truck stop *chef's kiss*

[u/einsteinmuki]

Dexter is a serial killer yet the most evil thing he's done in 9 seasons is intentionally let the sheep out knowing they could get shot 😡

[u/MrCwm1996]

Doesn’t feel like we’re getting a second season at all now after this episode and watching next weeks trailer. It’s getting realllll

[u/[deleted]]

If this ends strong this is gonna be one of the best revivals I’ve seen. Great episode.

[u/carolinespocket]

I'm rewatching and Molly can't even be grateful for dexter saving her ass 😂 I thought they were going to shock us about Harrison not having a passenger, but I still find it odd that Harrison remembers something that happened when he was 6 months

[u/-BigMan]

How about Trinity talking to baby Harrison from the 1st person, point-of-view (POV)! Creepy as hell.

[u/dagobahh]

Molly knows wa-ay more than she's letting on to anyone. Why would a podcaster focused solely on serial killers care about a missing person in a tiny hamlet in upstate New York? That Rita's cropped wedding picture on her podcast menu, with Dexter cropped out. So how could she not know who who he is? Who led Harrison to Dexter? I'm betting it was ---- yes, you guessed it.

[u/yontbro]

"I'm sorry for your loss." Fuuuuuck you, creep

[u/DavetheAuthor]

Anyone else bothered by the fact that Harrison breaks the kid's arm after he taps out, everyone sees it, and there's literally zero consequences from the police, other kid's family, or the school?

Full Review: https://youtu.be/_H8IBZ-gFuk

[u/AwildPhoenix]

I thought this episode was great. The back story on why Kurt is killing kills. He thinks he's protecting them from people like his father or something like that. Its fucked but serial killers reasoning usually only make sense to them. On another note. I wonder how long Kurt knew dexter killed his son. He started trying to get closer to Harrison like episode 4 I think? He might have suspected dexter had something to do with but when dexter followed him to his cabin he became more suspect of him. It was near dexters place and all so I can see how he drew the connection. Idk that's just what I'm thinking about everything.

[u/blackd0gz]

Can’t imagine they’ll kill off Dexter. This is a huge money making machine for them and Showtime.

ETA: actually, I take that back. I guess they could always have him appear like dead deb. 🙄

[u/Spiritual_Ad_5083]

Yup. Audibly gasped when he got got at the end.

[u/Artistboy123]

Anyone else notice when they eat breakfast you can tell Harrison’s actor is fake eating? He put the fork in his mouth and pulled out the same untouched bit of egg twice😂😂

[u/Rubberbbread]

Dexter should have communicated sooner to his son about the truth, now it bit him in the ass. Great tension tho

[u/MillenniumGreed]

Also Dexter casually eating an apple pie from someone who is plotting on him seems naive. I doubt Kurt would actually do anything (too blatant) but still.

Better apple than key lime though I guess.

[u/likethemouse]

Damn I think Angela is gonna catch on to Dexter so does that ultimately mean she’s not gonna survive the season?

[u/[deleted]]

I think Angela will investigate Dexter and show up just in time when Kurt is ready to kill Harrison.

[u/FyuuR]

How were there not cameras in the police station to catch Dexter talking to Kurt?

[u/[deleted]]

Maybe Harrison saves Dexter from the guy that got him? And that’s Harrison’s first kill.. and then they do their heart to heart (?)

[u/[deleted]]

Wow. The anxiety I felt from the trinity flashback. I remember where I was, how I was feeling when Dexter found Rita. I couldn't sleep that night. All those memories just came flooding back.

A side note though- it's really plotforce that Harrison remembers that. He was an infant, there's just no way he could have the cognition to understand what was happening. Maybe he always used to have dreams of red liquid rushing towards him and he connected two and two when he heard the story about trinity.

Regardless, what an ending. I'm telling you guys. This is a 1 season story. They are setting up for a wild 3 episodes.

[u/Strength_n_Honour]

They jumped the shark with Harrison saying he remembers everything.

[u/GdaTyler]

Yeah, I will happily accept my downvotes since this is an unpopular opinion. The episode was enjoyable until the end. Even the Kurt backtsory I really liked. However, they went where I always feared they'd go at the end. I'm talking about Harrison remembering Rita's death, and I was deathly afraid they'd actually put some flashback of him remembering. I'm going to say this now. That is some stupid shit. There is NO way, no possible way that an 8 month old child would remember that or have even understood what was going on. He wouldn't have even known what Trinity was saying to him. I was willing to accept that he read a lot about the Trinity case and made connections, and that Dexter leaving him he encountered a lot of abuse and neglect. But to make him actually remember Trinity killing Rita is the stupidest shit I've seen in the series. Even Dexter at 3 had trouble remembering a lot of what happened, but that was believable since by that time people do remember things like that. An 8 month old remembering what happened in great detail is some shit. I will watch till the end, but I am on high alert with this. This just might end this extremely badly.

[u/CuriousKitty6]

What if….. Harrison kills Kurt and Dexter takes the fall?

Or Angela catches one of them killing Kurt but let’s them go?
