The end of the season is approaching ever so near! This season has been unbelievably good. Five seasons ago the Cricket was reluctant to even watch a show about a serial killer. Gradually we’ve gotten to sympathize with him. And now we get to see Dexter through Lumen’s eyes. She doesn’t see him as a monster at all. He’s her partner, helping her take down the men who raped and tortured her. Boyd Fowler has disappeared off the face of the earth, so did Cole Harman, and now Alex Tildon, too. “What’s the connection,” Deb asks Jordan Chase, with Quinn in tow. “What did they have in common?” She continues. “You. They had you in common.” Chase remains indignantly unmoved. At the office, Deb explains her “vigilante theory” that one of the barrel girls escaped and has been taking down the perverted perpetrators who abused and violated all these girls. Masuka confirms that the living room in the empty house next to Tildon’s was so spotless it must have been recently swiped clean. Meanwhile, Deb and Quinn learn Chase’s real name, Eugene Greer. Batista found evidence that ties Chase to Tildon. Now every one of the perps can be traced back to Chase, and they have proof that he has been lying. They’re closing in but all remains circumstantial.
For their part Dex and Lumen plot to take down Chase, like a loving couple plans seats for their wedding. They’re deciding on whether to use her or Deb as bait to lure Chase. Then suddenly the baby monitor picks up a signal from Liddy’s camera. Dex suspects it’s Chase watching them, but there are too many vans, RVs and trucks around. He could be anywhere. Liddy’s been permanently discharged from police service. So he cannot make a move against Dexter, but threatens Quinn he best come running when he calls. Dex finds the camera and to his shock discovers it is property of Miami Metro Police. He learns that the bugging devices were checked out on Quinn’s name, with a case number dating to 1982, and without a permit to bug his house.
There’s an amazingly beautiful scene between Deb and Dex, where she confesses about Quinn’s theory that Dex is somehow connected to Rita’s death. She broke up with him because she cannot trust him. Then she starts ruminating about her “vigilante theory,” how the barrel girl must have someone close to her help her killing these perps. She finds it loving, even if it’s messed up. Only we and Dex are in on the fact that Deb is looking right at that man. And for his part Dex is realizing he must be in love with Lumen. They really are adorable together, holding hands, and teaming up as serial killers. I don’t want Lumen to ever leave Dex. But what will happen once Lumen is done meeting out her vigilante justice, once she has killed all her abusers? And will they get to Chase before he gets to them?
In fact, Chase books a tour through Europe to give his motivational speeches, an indication he’s hoping to get away from under police scrutiny. So they need a court order to demand him in as a material witness. It gets denied when Deb puts it in herself, but LaGuerta requests another with a judge who owed her a favor – and thus she teaches Deb a little lesson about office politics. Checking on the one remaining van that hasn’t moved in a week in front of Dex’ condo, he gets tased and kidnapped by Liddy. Right then Chase lures Dex and Lumen by having Emily Birch, the only girl he let live, call Lumen to beg for help. With Dex out of reach, Lumen goes on her own, terrified when she finds Chase there. Dex is able to overpower Liddy and kills him, with Quinn standing right outside the blinded van – and Liddy’s blood dripping on his boot. Chase is enraged that Lumen didn’t bring Dexter, and vents his anger on Emily, who he kills in two blows with a poker. When Dex finally arrives, Emily’s house is empty. Evidence of a fight everywhere. Oh, boy, the finale is going to be big, I mean, BIG!
