Oh, man, I’ve been eager to find out what happens in the finale of Dexter! How are they going to solve the case of the Bay Harbor Butcher? Is Dex going to frame Doakes, who can easily be proven to be innocent? Is Dex going to get caught? No, that can’t be. I’ve been so damn curious I watched the last few episodes in a row back in March! And, o-o-o-o-o-ohhhhh, this one is going out with a BANG, let me tell you that! Wow! That psychopathic pyromaniac Lila with the luscious lips and an obsession with Dexter has found the secret cabin in which Dex has been holding Sgt. Doakes in a cage. Crazy as she is, when she learns from Doakes that Dex is the Bay Harbor Butcher, she sympathizes, feeling even more strongly that they’re soul mates... So she lights the stove and leaves the gas running! And BOOM the whole cabin goes up in smoke with Doakes inside!
The rest of the episode is wrapping things up, tying loose ends. Things between Dex and Rita seem to be back to normal. Deb has to decide whether she will follow Special Agent Lundy to his next case, or whether she’ll stay in Miami. But that decision is made for her when Rita calls that her kids are gone! Dex immediately rushes to Lila, who’s threatening to kill the kids by burning the house down (yet again) ... and while Dex is able to set the kids free, he gets trapped in the fire himself, but ultimately breaks out. Lila escapes to Paris, where Dex finds her and turns her into another one of his victims. Whoa! This season has been awesome. Dex has been forced to face his demons: dealing with the death of his mother and the suicide of his father, confronting his serial killer brother, probing deep into his psyche through his contact with psychopath Lila. And throughout the course of these emotional explorations we’ve been shown feelings even Dexter didn’t know he had. He is still faking feelings most of the time, but beyond his concern not to get caught, the heightened anxiety involving the case of the Bay Harbor Butcher, he’s demonstrated attachment to Rita and her kids, concern for the well being of his sis Deb, and anger toward Doakes. Dexter the serial killer has become, well, sympathetic.
