Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey react to Dexter Season 4, Episodes 9–12, the shocking and unforgettable conclusion to one of TV’s greatest seasons. Starring Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under, Gamer) as Dexter Morgan, this Showtime classic follows a forensic blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer targeting other murderers. Season 4 raises the stakes with the arrival of Arthur Mitchell, aka The Trinity Killer, played by John Lithgow (Third Rock from the Sun, The Crown), in a career-defining, Emmy-winning performance. As Dexter attempts to balance his double life as a husband, father, and killer, his cat-and-mouse relationship with Trinity becomes a masterclass in tension, manipulation, and psychological unraveling. The supporting cast includes Julie Benz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) as Rita Morgan, Jennifer Carpenter (Limitless, The Exorcism of Emily Rose) as Debra Morgan, James Remar (The Warriors, Django Unchained) as Dexter’s adoptive father Harry, Lauren Vélez (Oz, Ugly Betty) as Captain Maria LaGuerta, and C.S. Lee (Chuck) as the quirky forensic tech Masuka. Iconic and highly searched moments from these episodes include Dexter tracking Trinity through the suburbs, Arthur’s chilling Thanksgiving dinner, the suspenseful rooftop confrontation, and the devastating finale twist that changed TV forever. Blending crime drama, dark humor, and psychological horror, Dexter Season 4’s ending remains one of the most haunting and talked-about moments in modern television.

Citizens of the Blood Spatter Nation,
here at Rejects.
We are here to do the finale.
I can't believe it, John's my favorite season.
Do we really have to finish this?
Can we just pretend like we didn't
and just imagine and just stay here?
I love season four so much.
If it was up to me and we weren't doing this
in a structured fashion,
I might not ever finish it.
Although I do want to know what happens.
It's necessary evil.
Yeah, I just, hey, that's, I like that.
That was very good, John.
Anyways, guys, we were here to do.
Season 4 episodes 9, 10, 11, and 12.
This is going to be our final block of episodes for season 4.
This has been quite a journey we've been on with the whole thing, of course.
But season 4 has been especially crazy, chaotic, amazing, just all different flurries of emotions.
But we've been so happy to share with each other and with you guys, of course, the greatest fans in the world.
And just as we always do, we like to share how we are feeling.
So, Johnald, my bang to my flash.
Hey, how are you feeling, buddy?
I'm feeling pretty good, Andrew.
It's the start of the day.
You know, we got to keep our time.
We've got a thick boy ahead of us,
but I'm excited to be here in this block with you.
I'm not ready to let go of this part of the show
because, again, it's so well-reviewed.
I can be more excited to sink into this.
How are you?
We do get to keep our time,
so I'll go a little bit faster.
I'm doing okay.
Yeah, things are good.
I got here a little bit quicker than yesterday,
so doing great.
I'm excited to watch this.
And yeah, full-length reaction
where you sync up with your own copy.
It's where you get to watch
the show with myself and John Nizio,
but we cannot show you any footage,
of course, that would be copyright,
and we don't want to get copyright issues

somewhat of the same brain, although don't tell
Koi that, that's an insult, okay?
I won't tell me, but he's the smarter one,
definitely of the two. I'm the reference one
of us, too. So, anyways,
season four, episode nine, commencing in
three, two, and a one.
Hungry.
Man.
Yeah, ye.
this will do the job.
Is he making food again?
You into exactly the right size pieces.
Yes.
Like a hunter watching his prey.
I got some interesting Thanksgiving greetings from your coach Davis.
Hell, you're not going to play baseball anymore.
I suppose you weren't going to need this.
Whoa.
Oh, Jesus.
Once the turkey's gone, so is Arthur.
Damn.
How about this one?
This one's for most valuable player.
That's a nice trophy.
You've become your old dad.
The Cole Flur.
Oh, snap.
Family business.
It's my business, too.
Damn, so it was all a facade, the perfect father that he was, or the family man.
I mean, there's times where he's nice, but there's other times he's not.
No, that's a real guy.
That's a real.
Oh, shit.
God dang.
Mr. Butler, what are you doing here?
I just up by your house, I saw you arguing with your father.
No, I don't argue.
And you have no idea what he's like.
How he treats my mother and Rebecca.
Ooh, oh.
You don't know what he's capable of.
Damn.
He hits me.
Oh, does he?
You know, I'm running out of clichés to tell the coaches.
Oh.
Fell down some stairs.
I walked into a door.
The classics.
Yeah.
I know it looks like we have the perfect fucking family, but in that house,
When he's there, it's not a life.
It's a tour of duty.
Wait till you hear that Dexter saved him from him jumping off a building.
He'd kill me if he knew what I was telling me this stuff.
I won't say a word.
Hmm.
Oh, circle of trust.
Yes, Mr. De Niro.
Should have just let him die.
Whoa.
Oh, he does know.
Shit.
Where you going?
Anywhere away from here.
I can't go back.
Ooh.
So I'll go with you.
I'll be there when you tell him.
You hit a deer.
Why?
You're not the only one with father is.
If you came to Thanksgiving, dad would be on his best.
Dinner's at one, I can stay a loose house until then.
It is a feast, I suppose.
I guess I'm having two turkey dinners is sure.
Turkey is good with gravy.
I used to not like gravy.
Now I love it.
The DNA sweep didn't give them Trinity,
but it did bring in a cornucopia of criminals.
Puniful, good joke.
I'm spending Thanksgiving with 90 or so of my newest friends.
Look at these victims.
The bathtub women, they're always young and single.
A first girlfriend, maybe
And then the jumper is always a mother of two
Maybe that represents his mom or his wife
But I don't think this guy's married
She is right on the right track
For the most part
You used to love Thanksgiving
When we were kids
You wore the little Indian headdresses
Pick the pearl onions out of the green beans
Mom's green beans
And then she died
And it was you and me and dad and football
And TV dinners and aluminum trays
No more beans
I am lead detective on the biggest case of my career
This is where I belong
Once we figured out Trinity didn't shoot me
There was no conflict for me
Trinity didn't shoot you
Yeah
While you were at your rain man convention
Massa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hurt together
from the bullet's trajectory
Ooh, cool
Who shot you?
Maybe Trinity knows
We got hits on three open
cases and one open burglary case
But best of all, hits on two homicides
Hell yeah
Merry Thanksgiving, Soderquist
And this one is mine
Keep up the good work
Soterquist?
I personally like Chris Mika
Any news on any other cases?
We'll find a who shot you, you know.
Focus on what you can control.
Yes.
Good advice.
I guess we'll both be working Thanksgiving.
Yeah, working the case of my love for you.
Together.
How unfortunate.
Eh, guys, no.
Dude, Matthews is going to find him.
Yes, but no.
Yeah.
This is a horrible bed you've laid.
Inside the affidavits.
Fix those lights, John.
They're coming up.
There you go.
Dude, what kind of pies you guys?
Like warm apple pie.
Blue.
That's big are you?
How big?
It's not 25 feet, three tons of them.
About tomorrow, the Monroe County PD needs a spatter interpretation on a bar fight.
Should just take a few hours.
I just need to be gone one to five.
Plus, I'll be making triple overtime.
Sure, that's a plus.
You'll be missing all the fun.
Oh.
At least Elliot will be here.
She's on the fence.
Tell her that this is our first family.
Rita should tell her.
She can't say no to Rita.
Deb.
Rather than me tell her all that.
Okay, guys, now look real sad.
Ah!
Yes.
Brilliant to emotional manipulation.
I love it.
Hi, Aunt Deb.
We just heard that you might not come to Thanksgiving dinner.
And we really want you to come.
Look sad, Rita.
Jeez.
Astor.
Please come over.
Aww.
Me.
Come on, Deb.
What's it all for, if not this?
Big plans tomorrow?
It's just another day where people eat turkey.
I can eat turkey any day of the year.
It's not a very sexy holiday, I suppose.
Just remember John Yor, which he eat.
Dexter's having people over.
He invited me over.
See, I like beef jerky.
Sure, sure, sure.
I could use a wingman.
Yes.
Oh.
I can promise it'll be any fun.
Well, I could be your thigh man.
Hey.
Go, Masuka.
Oh, it's just a casual Thanksgiving with your girlfriend.
Oh, see, that's serious.
Really?
Serious.
Why so serious?
Joey, we'll spend it a little.
Oh, Joey.
If this was what the Joey spinoff was about,
a...
She's in the line of fire, that's her article.
She is definitely in the line of fire.
What you said about traditions shaping our kids,
why not going to work will I misshape them?
I wish it was out.
Otherwise, you'll be home soon, right?
Right.
Oh, God, oh no.
Please no.
God, no.
Look at the timing of the Trinity kills.
15 in December, 40 in July, and August.
20 or so in the spring.
Jesus.
What's the pattern?
Long-haul truck driver.
Some kind of salesman.
Not bad theories.
Vacuum salesman.
I thought I'd bring Thanksgiving to you.
How sweet.
But I'm heading now.
Temper's taking the day off.
That I'll be multitasking.
Hey.
Let's go.
I guess you can take the day off, too.
Multi-chast.
Yeah, I can.
Anti-wing, man.
About that interview, Deb.
Go get Chinese food.
Do you mind if we put off that interview
until after the holiday?
I'm not here as a reporter.
I'm here as Joey's girlfriend.
Are you ever anywhere as not a reporter?
I'm really sorry about what happened to you.
Are they humanizing her?
I hope so.
I can't even imagine
looking into the eyes of the person
you love, watching as he takes his last breath.
Wowie.
Let's hope you never have to.
Is this foreshadowing for her?
Crapp, as they are humanizing her.
We are seeing the last of her.
Or the last of Quinn, I don't know.
One of the two.
I would imagine more her, but we'll see.
You got Lloyd Paulson to confess?
Been waiting 10 years to close this one.
I promised the victim's husband I'd find the man who killed his wife.
Way to go, Angel.
You should go tell the husband, give him something to be thankful for.
As soon as that process has been there.
Eh.
Do you want to come with?
To an next to kin notification?
It is a fish of business.
Hey, hey.
Oh my god, you too. I'm so worried, but you're adorable and I love it.
Happy Thanksgiving.
To you too.
What a nice surprise.
Oh, did you see her that scared hesitation on her face?
This is my first Thanksgiving without my family.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Wait, is that the Wonder Woman actress?
No, it is.
Linda Carter?
Linda Carter? I don't think so.
Comment below for wrong.
I don't think it is.
Where's Dexter?
He's at some crime thing in Monroe County.
Shit.
Come look at our puzzle.
We've already got the corners.
I'm sorry, little man, but I've got work to do.
Aww.
Oh.
Yes.
Good job, Cody.
When do you want to put in the broccoli cheese casserole roll?
About an hour before.
The sweet potatoes need an hour and the corn pudding makes about 30 minutes.
Oh, corn pudding?
It's all gonna fit?
No.
My fabulous neighbor has not one, but two ovens.
Hey.
Oh no, they're going over to his house?
Oh, no.
I was gonna try to get some meat.
That is a very spiffy and smooth-looking wardrobe he's wearing.
Arthur seems to be in a decent mood.
Maybe I'll be able to slip out early.
It's almost one.
You want me to set the table?
We've got to watch the game first.
It's tradition.
Football game, dude.
Does kids be joining us?
Apparently Jonah has forgotten.
I'm sure he's on his way.
Oh, that noise.
I know.
I'm so scared he's going to cut his figure or something.
Not such a decent mood after all.
I think Rebecca could come out now.
Ew.
I'll go get her.
Come out of where?
She grounded or something?
No, nothing like that.
Whoa.
These facial expressions are telling a story.
Yeah, totally.
Tell them.
Becky can hear me.
Yeah, they still can in the vegetative state, actually.
It's what they say.
My dad was able to still grab my hand when he was in that state.
Oh.
Mr. Haas, I'm the one who told you about your wife.
I also promised that I'd find this is pointless
Say it
No dude do it
Knows how much your wife meant to you
And he wants you to know
That's beautiful team up
I want you to know
That we found the guy who killed her
Yes
I wish we would have found him sooner
Really I wish he would have never killed your wife
I can't change that
But you will face justice now
I'll go help mom in the kitchen
Oh boy
At least I have one perfect child
So it would appear
Oh, is that the coffin?
Oh!
I made that.
When I was still confused.
Well, that's beautiful.
Which is why I haven't torn it apart.
Donate it to the needy.
Obviously, I won't be needing it.
Now you'll be buried at sea.
Yeah.
What kind of father keeps a coffin in his garage?
What kind of father keeps blood slides in his shed?
Hey.
Dad, I don't know what happened.
The car is parked in Luke's driveway all night.
I came out this morning and someone has just gone all mental on it.
Oh boy.
That's why God invented car insurance, right?
Ooh, that look.
Dude, I feel so bad for this kid.
Yeah, I do too.
Whoa.
What are you doing?
What the hell, dude.
Now it's drivable so we can get her fixed.
Oh.
Game's about to start.
Shall we?
Dude, the way he's able to just flip.
a dime on his emotions like that.
Yeah. It's incredible acting.
I don't know how you do it. All these kids at home at the same time.
Thanksgiving's only four days. You should try keeping them entertained for three months in the summer.
Four days. Oh, it's a long weekend.
That's when you're really climbing the walls.
June, July, August.
September, October, November, December.
She just figured out a clue. It's the holidays. He's a parent.
Trinity's in the school system.
Yeah. Your earlier theory he was single is wrong. Oh, he's a teacher.
Trinity could be a janitor. He could be a captain.

Nobody but me

Well maybe you left Lundy's file
lying around accidentally
And maybe Christine
Saw some of the pictures

Out of the station
Or hear this combo from across the room
How can you tell a loving wife
From a frightened one?
Look at Fluster there
A friendly neighbor, co-worker, sister, son.
Aw, Harrison.
Are any of them what they seem?
Yeah.
Or are they little bombs waiting to explode?
We're all one bad day away from exploding, Donald.
Harry's at the taste.
That's cool.
Why would go around the table and everybody say what they're thankful for?
No.
Oh!
I don't want this yummy food to get cold.
I'm thankful for Dexter.
Oh, buddy.
The other kids didn't say they were thankful for.
their father, but he's thankful for his.
Good night.
Good night.
She feels threatened by Deb.
At least that dialogue is indicating she's possibly a goner, but we'll see.
Yeah, what are we got?
What's the reveal?
Episode 8, man.
I'm feeling a lot of tension, suspense.
Oh, no.
Oh, Arthur.
How dare you?
Joey.
Not Joey.
Oh, no.
Holy shit.
God!
Hi, Dad!
Wait, what?
What?
What?
No!
What?
Dude.
Epic.
Epic reveal.
Hi, dad?
Holy crap.
I don't even know what to say to that.
Holy crapparino, gang.
Well, I guess we know who shot...
I guess we know who shot Lundy now and shot Deborah.
And sure seems like it.
Oh, my God.
No.
No, we'll wait to see how this plays.
out at true you never know that could be misleading us
I still I don't know
oh my god
alright that was episode 9
of season 4
I'm up in episode 10 but I think we should get
right into episode 10 because we're on a time frame here
so we live in a time frame
get right into it in
a three
two and one
lost
so Joel Schumacher directed
this episode. Definitely, here we go.
I still got to see that movie. I've never seen it.
Oh.
So, how's everyone doing over there?
Aww, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
you okay?
I'm not the one getting four booster shots.
Now, you're not a complete wreck.
Serial killer, remember?
Yeah.
How do you...
You won't remember any of this.
Aw.
She just started staying in Star Spangled Banner or something.
Keeping my tools in a shipping container,
more sense than a backyard shed.
Yeah.
It's where my dark passenger was born.
Yeah.
It does make sense.
The perilous Keith Gordon.
Yeah.
And after tonight it's where Arthur Mitchell will call home.
We've got to get on Christine, John.
We're in a spooky season.
Oh boy.
What?
Oh.
Scott, hold your sister's hand until we're inside.
You're not my mother.
Oh.
Is that gonna...
Nick, Barb, Scott.
Abby.
Not my mom.
That was a very prominent, like, ADR there.
Is he gonna mess up his ritual, pick the wrong mom?
Oh, boy.
Man's is a lurking.
Oh, nice.
Very nice, pan.
Primal rage.
That man is playing Gallagher.
Yeah.
Probably didn't notice, but we did.
That man is playing Gallagher.
Thought we wouldn't notice.
But we did.
I'm not the only one on a stalk.
But it's too soon, Arthur just finished his last kill cycle.
By saving his life, have I set it all in motion again?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
Shit.
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
I miss you so.
It almost looks like James Bond.
I know it's not.
Oh, yeah, it's a knockoff James Bond.
I'm Officer Carney.
Officer Carney.
Kearney. This is like if the T-1000 caught up to John Connor in the arcade.
Are your mom and dad, Nick and Barb?
Yes.
I'm afraid they've been in a car accident.
They've asked me to take you to go see him in the hospital.
Ugh.
No, no, no, no, no.
My partner's got Abby in our patrol car.
Creepy.
Where's my sister?
Let me radio in and see where my partner is.
Oh, Dexter.
Christ the Lord.
Arthur!
Bro.
Bro. Not from there. Not from where you can't catch him.
I don't appreciate being followed.
Arthur, what are you doing? Preserve this boy's innocence.
I'm calling the police.
Just see a police car. The boy pays the price.
Euse.
Pull over. Tell me where you are.
I have a process.
As long as it's not interrupted. I'll set the boy free.
Arthur, don't do this. Let the boy go.
This involves kidnapping too?
Let the boy go, Arthur.
It's never taken a child before.
That you know of.
Yeah.
This is new.
Oh, that is a bad bar.
We talked about this in the review if he would have just let him fall when he tried to jump off the building.
How many lives are going to pay the price?
Any idea where your father is?
He said some teaching thing up in Naples.
My Thanksgiving never happened.
Except for this.
Why are you still here?
Yeah, dude.
I can't leave my mom and sister alone with him.
I get that.
Did he hurt someone else?
I hope not.
That's why I need to find him to keep him from doing something really wrong.
More are really wrong
You have the chance to finally break the cycle
What do you want me to do?
Yeah
Go through his desk
Find out what he's been working on
He'll kill me
I'll make sure he never finds out
It's my mom and Rebecca
There's a great big shit ugly world
Out there Jonah
Oh boy
The bad stuff doesn't just end
At your doorstep
You can help put an end
The sins of your father
Ooh
Really do a great job
Adding tension this season
What is this place?
You like trains are there?
My name isn't Arthur, Scott.
Whoa, creepy.
Is he recreating what his father treated him?
Yeah, he's like trying to play what version of his father he wished there was.
Or like replaying, recreating a positive memory with him.
I want my mom and dad.
Not with these Dutch angles.
I'm gonna say with the Dutch angles, maybe Schumacher really did direct the episode.
Rest in peace, by the way.
If Arthur's ritual like mine was born in the past, the past is where I'll find him.
Dude, he said Harry's little fold-up Thanksgiving table.
Remember, John, the past will bite you in the ass.
His last cycle of kills took place in New Orleans.
Matthew Hicks, 10 years old, went to the local pool, never came home.
Jesus.
Five days before a woman was found murdered in her bathtub.
Ooh.
You always did have a soft spot for kids.
They remind you of what you lost that day in the shipping container.
His innocence.
Yep.
Arthur said that's what he would preserve in the boy he took.
If each of Arthur's victims represents members of his family.
Yeah.
And the boy must be Arthur himself.
Yeah.
He was 10 when his sister died.
Omaha, another 10-year-old goes missing.
Five days later, another bathtub murder.
We're figuring the pattern.
Lundy must read the pattern.
It's not three victims.
Wow.
It's four.
Jesus Christ.
Lundy didn't think to look at missing children because they were never recorded his homicide.
Yeah, they were just recorded as missing.
Another 10-year-old went missing.
Jesus.
Oh, my God, the boys begin the cycle.
Jesus, so he just started the cycle.
Crazy.
You got to find this kid right now.
Yeah.
I ding the parked van last night.
I left a note, but the driver hasn't called me back.
Find this guy, pay him in cash.
Just give me the plate.
Give you heads up on its location.
Heads up seven up?
Yes, right.
We were just talking about that off camera.
I saw something at Thanksgiving.
I wish I hadn't.
Morgan.
Gordon.
Good last names.
I've got that interview with Quincy.
squeeze today.
Sure it's a good idea to drag up all that Lundy stuff.
Stay away.
Trinity works from the public school system.
Can't get the okay to swab these guys.
If he's even in the school system.
Sorry, Deb, the sooner this is over, the sooner I get to that missing boy's parents.
Dude, Harry's waiting.
Dex, you got a minute.
It's my Thanksgiving.
Later, Vince.
Oh, buddy.
When I'm done, everyone in Miami's gonna know what a true hero is.
Law.
Don't forget your partner.
That's Quinn with two ends.
Oh, shit.
I forgot to run something by Batiste.
Will you show her to the box?
I'll be there in two seconds.
God, they did such a good job hiding her this season
is this ambitious woman who will do anything.
I need you to watch Christine interview me.
This could have something to do with the Lundy shooting.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no.
Why don't you put your pajamas on and we'll have something to eat?
No cowboys.
I won't do anything you told me to.
Oh, my goodness, no.
I guarantee you, John Lithgow probably made this kid feel very comfortable
and, like, reassured him.
It's just, I've got to be creepy for this.
scenes father drinks and mother pays the price I'm just trying to protect you
Arthur my name is Scott oh this can't be the first time a kids responded
this well oh god it's just a bunker just want to do anything I can to help
find your missing son we haven't set up phone banks yet but we have some
flyers I take some with me oh boy oh boy I'm the only one here
I could point the police in Arthur Mitchell's direction but the slightest
step on their part ensures this family is never whole again yeah how does a guy like
this make a dead body just disappear into thin air a Gulf stream does a trick
for me hey oh's an home home Des Moines St. Paul or Denver yep
four walls houses you guys to each one of those cities on a build is a pretext
for his killing cycle oh would be a convenient place to bury a body or to hold a boy
captive
course it's under construction say nearby
three years on patrol
two years in vice
why homicide
my dad was a detective here
dude flip it around
start asking her questions
do you see these
oh
forensically we're at a dead end
with a lundy case
so I just stare at these
looking for answers
dude this facade that she puts
on it's such
it's so crazy
I've got enough
background info
I just write this up
and give me a call
Uh-huh.
You live over in the Gables, right?
Yeah.
That must be really nice being away from all that touristy stuff.
Found a great building.
So the Gables, that's what, like 60 minutes from the hotel where Frank was staying?
I guess.
You sure got to the crime scene fast.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
There's no traffic at 5 a.m.
But dispatch didn't put off the call till 505.
Yes.
You were the first reporter on scene at 520.
How did you get there so fast?
I like to roll out of bed and hit the gym or...
of bed and hit the gym early. I was on my way there when I heard the scanner.
She's lying. Of course she is. I mean it was a good try to cover, but she is full of shit.
I spoke to Christine at your crime scene. Hair made, full makeup. No way she rolled out of
bed at 5 a.m. looking like that. I'm telling you she knows more than she's letting on.
Pshu! Pichu! Crime scene reporter and she couldn't even fucking look at those photos of Lundee.
Suspicious, but it doesn't prove a thing. Exactly. You got no evidence.
Fuck does she know he didn't die instantly.
Leguaredi got for hours to the school district to let us collect samples.
I'm still working on Dade.
Great.
Let's go.
Bill's nearly finished.
No one's here.
Ego ambush you.
Come on, Dexter, you got this.
Kyle, I went through my dad's desk.
There's nothing here.
No second construction site?
Hardware store.
Real estate agency.
Real estate agency.
It's just a bunch of homes for sale.
I can email you the list if you want.
fax him to the king goes near your house under my name.
I'll pick them up there.
Oh, Christ. Oh, no, Cody?
Oh, no.
Let go.
Cody!
Cody!
He said he saw Dexterly, the young sailors came from the middle of the night because he was scared.
Ah, shit! No!
My son said that's what he saw. I believe him.
Oh, no, no. God, no! I knew that would come back somehow.
Dad, I really need to see you.
You just did. Thanksgiving night.
Ugh.
We meet in between our usual visits.
Whoa.
There's a reason why we only see each other couple of times a year, Christine.
I have a full life and a family who needs me.
Uh.
I'm your family too.
I need you.
Woof.
I think I'm in trouble.
Damn, dude.
This is so twisted.
Don't make me feel for her.
Have food for me?
You're gonna have something to eat.
When you put on the pajamas.
Once you put your pajamas.
You put your pajamas on, Arthur.
Mmm.
Oh, he's just torturing this kid.
He can break in front of him when he knows he's starving.
This is delicious.
Ah.
Most diabolical torture yet.
Yeah, a certain point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He doesn't seem like a pervert.
Well, in this context, so...
The baby has a fever.
Oh.
How long do you think you're going to be?
Not very.
There's still another house I can check on the way home.
Uh.
No
Dude
Remember how tired he was in the first episode or two?
I could see it his eyes are getting heavy
Yeah, he's all working overtime
Uh
Shark passenger time
Shit
But it looked like there was a friggin
Scott
Nope
Scott Smith
Is that Dexter, young Dexter?
It's just people squatting I think
I mean my kids got nowhere else to
I thought he was, like, seeing a...
I thought he was seeing, like, trauma past.
Oh, no.
You ain't got to tell.
No, I won't.
I thought he was having one of those visions of himself in the past.
No, I get you.
They want to take the kids to Disney World weekend.
You sure that's a good idea? I've never even met them.
They're nothing like Paul.
He was the abuse of black sheep of the family.
Interesting.
What happened to his eye?
One of the young sailors said you disappeared the night of the camping trip.
Cody was defending your honor.
Oh, Cody.
The only time I left my tent that night was to...
Go to the bathroom?
Hey.
Cody doesn't want to be part of the group anymore.
He doesn't want to be around somebody who tells lives.
Oh, shit.
I solemnly swear, I will not tell a lie.
100.1.
Geez.
Am I giving him a sponge bath, cool him off?
What's 100.1 on the FM band here?
If Christine was covering for a sauce that knew something about this.
How tall is Christine?
Yeah, get Missouca in here so we can measure.
Couldn't even look quite in the eye.
We're going to figure this out.
Just gotta think outside the box.
Outside the bun.
How's this for outside the box?
Christine's the same height as the shooter.
E.
Christine shoots Lundy.
Why?
That's the mystery.
We get her DNA.
We check it against a database.
I think we can get Quinn to get her DNA.
He's got plenty of it all over him.
We don't have enough to get a warrant.
Think outside the box, Sergeant.
Quinn!
Quinn!
I killed an innocent man when I left the campsite that night.
Cody had been drawn into defending a lie.
Trinity's not the only one using his family as human shields.
Yeah.
No way, Christina, anything to do with shooting you or London.
You've been dating her for what?
Two months, how old do you even fucking know her?
What is this a Morgan vendetta against me?
Is your asshole brother behind this?
What the fuck with my brother have anything to do with this?
Forget it.
Oh, he almost said it.
Who else knows about this?
Angel.
Batista.
Make me look like a fucking asshole.
Don't make this about you.
Oh, dude.
Should you keep a toothbrush here?
Christine will never know about this.
And when the results come back clean,
you can shove this up my ass anytime you want.
Any time.
I need you to get a DNA panel on this ASAP.
Oh, he's going to explode.
I'll owe you one, all right?
Who's a blonde?
We may have a big fucking lead on a Lundy case and just fucking run it.
Oh, Deborah.
Yeah.
You really feel her emotion when she lets it out.
Dexter, where the hell are you?
On route.
Traffic.
Okay, well, the DA's all over.
me about that blood report
I'll have it on your desk in half an hour
God, everything is getting in the way
of dark passenger duty
Yeah, how does he find time
to actually do his actual work?
Christmas is coming up, any plans?
Aw.
Is she supposed to be with her dad, right?
We're not that close.
Tell me about your family.
You okay?
Yeah.
He's very acting like
cuss towards her.
Are you sure?
Now's not a good time.
Wow.
Well, maybe it is a good time for me.
You ever consider that?
Oh, yeah.
She's getting rejected by everyone.
Dad, Quinn.
This is about your partner, isn't it?
She says something to you?
About what?
Give a shitty interview.
I'm ditching the article.
So you think she's best about that.
I don't know.
I can't wait.
I need to see you now.
We might be in trouble.
We have to talk about...
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Oh my God.
When I was little.
Oh my God.
Please call me back.
Oh my God.
This is so twisted. Oh, my God.
It's just stupid.
You should take me home.
I'm going to see my mom and dad.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Why are you so sad?
It was Vera's favorite song.
Oh.
She was my sister.
Oh.
What happened to her?
She died.
Did she really die?
It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
Oh.
I'm sorry, Bay.
Oh
If it'll make you feel any better
You can call me Arthur
Hey
You're a good-hearted kid
Nice kid Scott
I'll play drinks a little bit more
And then you can take me home
Duh
Do you like ice cream
I scream for it
That's about a boy size freezer
Don't like that
Ah no
No
Come on man
Oh wait wait
Are you gonna like knock them out
out and take them home.
Finished your treat.
I think it's time
to let you go free.
Uh.
Cancelling the ritual?
Yeah, I'm calling about the house on Olive.
I need to know, is a house occupied?
Oh, the current owners are still living there.
He's going to save him a trip.
Blood report on the barstabbing.
Just got word on that stake in notify.
We found your van about 20 minutes ago.
Whoa.
He's at a diner on Flagler on 4th.
Hope you find your guy.
All right, what's the closest house to that diner, right?
If Arthur's van was spotted close to where he has the boy, that shit.
Nero my search down considerably.
E.
Debra Morgan.
Oh, is this...
The CI?
Ugh.
Oh, no.
Dude, this is so insane.
Everything that's going on.
I'm sorry.
I said those things about your father.
You don't me for another CI and all this time it's still hurt.
Oh, no, no, no.
No.
No.
No.
She'd remember me, God.
I was completely out of my mind.
Went to her house.
I have to go.
We'll call you.
Everyone's trying to disperse information.
Oh, I gotta go.
The DNA results on Christine Hillaback.
She's fucking related to Trinity.
Whoa.
Ahah ha ha ha ha.
Christ the Lord.
Oh man.
Risky squatching through the yard like this.
Ugh.
Bomb shelter.
Bomb shelter.
That's a cool location, too.
location too, damn.
Oh, I think he's too late.
Shit!
Yeah, they're already gone.
Ah!
1960s Miami, Cuban Missile Crisis.
Hey.
Iron years, places like this were built to keep people safe.
I hate on me.
Yep.
The ironing is delicious.
I saw you that night.
Back when I was five.
He told me to stay in the car, but I didn't.
So I got out and I went to that woman's house.
And I saw you in the bathtub with her?
Ooh.
Oh.
Oh.
It was a dream.
It wasn't when it happened again in the same house.
30 years later.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say, she's been following this case.
What if it was Harrison or Cody?
Your priorities have changed.
Yeah, it's good.
Fatherhood.
I'm a father now.
Yeah.
Daddy Decks.
I went back and I looked through the postcards you sent me.
Every trip you took.
And a woman died in a bathtub.
I protected you.
An FBI agent.
Oh.
I followed Lindy, and I saw you run into him, and he started putting things together, and he was never gonna stop.
So I shot.
Whoa!
I made it look like another crime spree.
The vacation murders, the police had no idea.
I still don't have anything solid.
You let them to me!
They're starting to ask questions.
Yeah, buddy, oh.
She just wants your approval that bad.
I protected you, aren't I a good girl? Don't you love me?
Yeah, she wants, she's seeking validation so badly.
Uh-huh.
In approval.
You put yourself at risk.
I'm still seeking that from you, John.
For me.
One day.
I do anything for you.
Oh.
You've always been so special to me.
Doesn't feel like it.
I can't.
Is he about to, I can't tell what it's about to happen right now.
I'll drop by tonight.
We'll figure all of this out.
Who is your mama and where is you?
Who is your daddy and what does he do?
How does you, you got a whole other family?
that little kiss he just blew her like yeah wow do you think he's gonna kill her later
tonight probably for the insubordination and incompetence yeah collect a sample
he's doing a little bit of chemistry no wonder none of those missing boys has
ever been found case of body and cement it's preserved forever oh wow that is
Demented and twisted.
You're already there?
Yeah.
Arthur wasn't ready then.
He is ready now.
So back at the construction site?
He's gonna, yeah, he's gonna bury him in there.
Oh my god!
Does he bury him alive?
Burry him alive and sedated?
Oh my god!
No closer.
I'll take that to mean the boy is still alive.
Walk away, Kyle.
This doesn't concern you.
There's no way I can do that.
Oh, I love the dark passenger voice and luck.
Oh no! Save him!
Woo!
He's gonna have to let him go to save him.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Get him, get him!
Shit!
I can't stop this.
Oh no.
Once you pop, the fun must stop.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,
get him out, quick, get him out.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's heavy as shit, too.
Yeah.
Oh.
Alive.
Oh, yeah.
He's on his way to pay Christine Hill a visit.
Daddy.
Oh, okay.
You are under arrest.
Betrayal.
Is Arthur going to see this?
Is they're going to the cops?
Do you hear that?
Harrison's asleep. All the children are asleep.
It's time for us.
Let's get it on.
Let's get it on.
Ah, we spoke too soon.
I'm sorry you're in pain.
Buddy.
No one's ever gonna hurt you again, especially me.
Aw.
Aw, Dax.

Thank you, Hello Fresh for adding on to my lifestyle.
Hello.
Hello, Dexter, Morgan.
We all have our public life, our private life, and your secret life.
He knows about my secret life.
Haunted houses.
I do.
I do. You live there.
Your father seems to be unknown.
Why is that?
My mother got pregnant.
I never met my father.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
I think you're lying.
So do I.
I think Christine has her own secret life.
Good instincts.
She's got to be Arthur's daughter.
Yes.
Dude, it's my favorite when he does the dark passenger voice.
Give us the name.
She says the name Arthur Mitchell.
Netsionwide.
Ugh.
Duh.
Nationwide, not on your side.
name woof I've never seen Angel get I've seen him get intense but that is on another
level of intense if I can make the police think the Trinity killer is someone else
Arthur's all mine oh my god what how how are you gonna do that although police have no
leads as to who abducted the boy or how he came to be returned oh thank goodness
Interesting.
Ah, great transition, yes.
I love that.
With all the DNA samples from my sister's sweep, there should be one bad guy I can cast in the role of Trinity, but I'm striking out.
Damn, dude.
That's a good hamburger reference.
What if you just let Deb take him down?
What kind of man witnesses a child deduction and doesn't call the police?
What is it you want?
I want you.
I want $50,000.
dollars or I'll tell the whole world that Arthur Mitchell is a pedophile
and most certainly not a pedophile oh using his religion gets him
take a loan out on your house sell your car I really don't care
oh he is a teacher today that's not possible yeah we've seen it at the school
he's so many things I lose track no no it's fair enough for sure
and we only saw it to be fair to you we only saw it like once really quick
I'll uh I'll be in touch oh no Kyle Butler oh no no
He's pulling the Terminator looking up Sarah Connor thing.
I know that's not a reference.
I'm just making a joke, guys.
Don't worry.
No, all phone books are Terminator.
It's all Terminator, I know.
You can only hold me for 48 hours.
If you want, no rest.
But we're holding you as a material witness.
So you can keep me as long as you want.
So you better start talking, bitch.
Yeah.
You live here now.
She says she doesn't know anything.
Wow, you're still on her side.
I know this sucks for you, but she's in there because she's involved.
So get your fucking head on straight.
We don't have any proof.
DNA, Trinity, dude, are you serious?
She planted the story, bro.
She got to the crime scene at 520. Come on, bro.
She said anything yet?
She won't.
Let's hope not.
For Quinn's sake.
Fuck you.
And you.
And you.
Keep me posting.
Well, where are you going, a half day?
Half day.
Lunch with Rita, my wife.
Cheo.
I'm sorry.
Where is it you really go every day?
I'm turning into dokes.
One came through on Christine Hill's apartment.
Let's get a team over there.
Alright with you.
No, absolutely not.
You're not switching your own girlfriend's apartment.
Take Latista.
Yeah.
I want to wait first.
I want both of you.
Did he have a private detective?
Shit!
I was waiting for this.
I'm so, I'm so annoyed.
They sent this up to me for a whole other reason.
Half hour before the security cameras recorded this.
I hate this.
Oh no!
I knew it.
God damn it.
it that could be anyone your board of review hearing is the day after tomorrow I
suggest you call your union reps and start looking into career alternatives
oh wow this isn't the first time that you have squared off so what exactly is
your beef with me my gender my race yeah what your arrogance this sucks
because they're such good cops too oh man we're arrogance oh
Lundy's Trinity books.
Lundy ran down lots of suspects over the years who look like there might be trinity.
Oh, that guy.
It almost looked like Ed O'Neill, a little.
Stan Boutree.
Arrested, for killing a prostitute with a crowbar left around the side of the highway.
That's a good candidate.
Oh, he had a crowbar, right? Remember?
Uh-oh.
What the f f...
Huh?
You ain't going anywhere, man.
Alright, I got your license plate number.
I'm gonna call the cops.
Uh-oh.
Oh no.
That was a daunting transition.
Uh, can it wait? I'm kind of it yet and I'll be there.
Let me guess, crime scene.
Like, Dexter, we have an appointment.
I know, but it's an emergency.
So is this.
Why?
Oh, shit, no.
We're doing better.
I'm being all open and...
I kissed Elliot.
Oh!
Oh shit!
What?
I think Elliot kissed you, but...
Yeah.
No, I told you, I can't.
Dexter, please.
I gotta get to work.
Oh, boy.
This is rough, dude.
Oh, I feel so bad.
Oh, no, we bludgeoned him.
Somebody smashed his head against the floor.
I saw Rita kissing another dude at Thanksgiving, okay?
Oh.
I know, she told me.
Oh, thank Christ.
Oh, he's a good guy, though.
Let's tell him the truth.
What's his name?
Kyle Butler.
Oh, shit.
Oh, he went to take out a couple of
Kyle Butler. Oh, that's why he went to that house. That makes sense. So he looked in the phone
book. Careful next time he choose an alias. Shit.
Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Not shoes. Pictures. Oh, is the cards? Oh. The cards.
The Moines. Denver. San Francisco. The letters, I mean. Is it all the crime scenes?
Love daddy. Trinity is.
Christine's fucking father. She's been in contact with them the whole time.
I would check her phone record, see who she was calling, no?
Oh, no. Keith Gordon!
Hey.
We got Keith Gordon, the director.
Hey, funny.
Oh, don't.
He's your director.
You can't do that.
By the way, Keith Gordon,
one of my favorite movies of all time back to school.
Go check out that comedy.
I told Johnny needs to react to it.
Arthur will come here next, and I'll be waiting.
Kyle Butler will be sleeping like a baby.
None of the wiser.
Someone should put out a vinyl pressing of the themes from the show.
Oh, get him.
Get him, get him.
Oh, please, please walk inside
It's over
Oh, don't leave, please don't leave
God
What the fuck
Uh
With Trinity killings in every single one of these cities
Just to see them laid out like that
Wish you were here
Love Daddy
Ooh
Ooh
I've never seen those before
Yeah
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Hey, like Jack the Ripper
Uh
Yup
I don't know who my father is
He is the Trinity killer
And he's been sending you
Postcards from hell
Hey like Jack the Ripper
You've been drafting on us
And when you heard Lundy
Was on to your father
You shot him
Mmm
Ooh
Being a protective daughter
Psychotically protective daughter
I want to talk to my lawyer
She lied.
Fuck, yeah, she lied.
Just a fucking admit it.
You shot me and you killed Lundy.
Fucking used me.
Uh, yeah, John and I've been saying that for like 10 episodes now.
She's really hot, to be fair, man.
I'm a fucking asshole.
Don't do that.
What?
Get yourself up like that.
Why the fuck not?
I've been there, boy.
Because I know where it gets here.
I was engaged to the ice truck killer.
Yes, you are.
Good old biny.
Drain their blood, wrapped them up like bloody fucking Christmas.
We can play
Who's a bigger asshole
But I guarantee you
That was very sweet
We'll keep in Christine
Over there again
Good
Let her fucking rot
Quinn has been a very fun character
To watch
I mean look we miss
You can't replace dogs
But like
Surprise
Hey
No I agree with you
I'm actually really enjoying Quinn
He's still like
He's a very flawed
But complex character
He takes the shortcuts
But there's still a
humanity to him.
Where are you, Mr. Bodry?
Doing a big
old spooky crime.
Making a delivery in Jacksonville
due back late tomorrow. Or if I leave now, I can be in
Jacksonville by midnight and cut the time
and him in half.
Stan the man is in a van because he ran.
The time and him
in half.
I can't sleep.
I stayed up so we could finish our talk.
Can't wait? I have a huge day tomorrow.
Can our talk about me
kissing another man wait?
the two of you.
No, of course not.
It was just a huge mistake.
Apology accepted.
Oh, okay.
Shouldn't we talk about this?
I thought we just did.
Oh, boy.
You didn't even say how you felt about it.
Putting it behind me, isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
But if I were you, I would be hurt, angry.
Really pissed off.
Is that how you want me to feel?
No.
I know, but you want him to show some emotion that he cares about the situation.
And he's not doing that. It's like that's okay. I forgive you. I need you at the station
Kind of right in the middle of doing some stuff any chance Missouka can cover for me? No chance at all
Be here be here. Oh man angel's not playing
You're juggling too many people. Yeah dude. We just talked about it like how's he balancing all this
Boatree Rita no Batista I'm not talking about them. I mean Dexter Morgan
Yeah, husband father it's a lot multiple mirror. Yeah, yeah
Nice shot
Oh my god
That's insane
Put some kind of drug in there to make me talk
It's true serum
Too much TV
I get it
Well you did what you did
To project your dad
I would have done the same thing
My dad and I were close to
When's that shoe gonna drop Sean
Actually we weren't
I wanted us to be but he never noticed
He's always too busy with my brother and work
No he became a cop
Yeah
He's finally getting the interview
I was gonna say she's finally
get an interview you think just because you shared I'm going to open up you watch too much TV
ooh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha good TV they tied that around if she cares enough about a father
it's alive he could be her first stop if we cut a loose lead us right to him you take care of this
you got a meeting oh with the uh what union me thing union rep this is our witness uh
Texan Morgan say hello to judge Belford oh the judge just sign here and here oh my god dude
They're gonna get hitched right here.
That's crazy.
Well, these are the kind of life sentences I like to hand out.
Angel, you may kiss your bride.
Oh!
Excuse me, Dax.
Two seasons ending on a marriage.
Does marriage help the situation?
I would assume that's why they rushed this.
You two just get married?
And this still's spinning chair.
You get your first to congratulate us.
Mazel Tov.
Hey, Le Chaim!
Arthur, I'm standing in front of your house, Kyle.
What?
I call the four walls office for your home address.
It seems to be Johnny's jet skis.
They're fun, you should try one.
They are.
Give me until tomorrow.
How do I know I can trust you?
I guess that's just the world we live in, Kyle.
Oh, a godless world.
Stand the man.
It's been a while since we've seen one of these.
Yeah, I heard.
Yeah, I heard.
You'll be sorry that you ever crossed me!
Oh!
Wow, that blood spray was crazy.
Woo!
I just need to make sure the police find author's DNA.
I think Stan the man ran into a fan.
fan
When they see this picture of Christine, they'll think she's
Bojri's daughter.
Will she have to identify that body or something?
I'm sorry, I haven't returned your phone.
I've been.
I know where you've been.
Don't call me anymore, you understand?
Daddy, I just...
Oh, that sucks.
But also, I'm not mad about it.
Savage.
It's slightly unbelievable that
Bodry would even own it to the rush,
but I'm gonna go for it.
And now the final piece of the puzzle.
A big wrench.
Ah, the hammer.
Nice.
Oh, is the hammer?
Oh, Elliot. Jesus.
Love thy neighbor.
Hey.
Love thy neighbor.
Blah, huh?
I don't like these handheld shots and these through the window.
Go inside.
Watch the history channel.
I'm not going to, because I care about my wife and I'm human.
What are we doing, Dax?
Punch him!
I stay the hell away from my wife.
Oh, Jesus
Dex
Oh, bro
No, no, wait
I know I'm an asshole
But just wait a minute
Reed is amazing
You think I don't know that
And I'm an idiot
And if I were you
I would want to kill me too
Aw
Don't never touch her again
That's how
You did the situation
What a scene
Although violence is not always the answer
But that was a very
Understandable reaction
Nice job Dex
I saw
I saw
That was awesome
Yeah, I'm talking about that in therapy now
You're not mad
Like my man cares about me
What are you?
He fought for me
Yeah
You told him to keep your wife's name out of his
In mouth
You know what she should have put on his hand peas
I can't believe you hit him now
I didn't see that coming
I didn't either
Aww
Yeah that was the whole thing with the conversation
That they had earlier
It's like do you even care
We're married
As a man and wife
I don't see how that changes the facts of the matter
Do you any want to go in front of the border review
And attack the sacrament of holy macho money
It's also worth noting that the chief of police
Met his now wife on the job as well
I hope that your life together will not be as empty
And as amoral as your decision to get married was
I'm very curious about you, man
I cannot tell with that guy
We just got to lead on a trinity killer
Is it Stan Boudry, John?
Well, hello, Mr. Toothbrush.
That's so smart to plan...
That's so smart to plan Arthur's stuff there
because it ties her to the DNA.
It's a little hard to believe this is the same guy
that never made a mistake in 30 years.
Oh, I'm sure he made mistakes.
We just weren't looking.
Good cover.
At this point, we're trying to locate Mr. Stan Baudry.
He's become our number one suspect.
Stan Boudry.
What a fascinating reaction.
She's like, what the hell?
I was protecting you.
You've ruined everything.
I did it because I love you.
Oh, oh no.
She's so tragic.
Yeah.
Meet me.
Please.
I can get past the cops.
I don't care.
It's not my problem.
Wow.
You did this to yourself.
You're on your own.
How could you say that?
What a guy.
I'm sorry you were ever born.
Oh.
Oh.
Do not call me again, ever.
Ever.
That's a tragic reaction.
Even though we don't like her as if...
We just got word that Christine Hill would like to speak with you.
Only you.
Ah shit.
It hasn't been easy, but I was able to pull together the funds you're demanding Kyle.
Oh, is that the same place? Oh my God. Where he took Scott.
The Palmetto Marina on the Miami River, leave it at the entrance to Dock C, and make it 8 o'clock.
Hey.
I'll see you, Whitney.
I'll see you in 15 minutes.
Because I know exactly where that music is coming from and why you're there.
Problem is, Christine's about to confess.
Do you?
Stan Bojury.
He's a killer.
He is.
He is.
He made his own choices.
And I'm just like him.
Oh.
Your dad was a cop.
so you said hey
I'll be a cop too
Maybe then he'll love me
My dad's a killer so I'll be a killer too
Then he'll love me
What last summer
I shot you
Ah
Oh no
Oh boy
I killed Lundy
Ah
Shit
Oh it's taking every ounce of her
Not to choke her right now
I'm so sorry
Let's just get you to the station
Can you forgive me
No
Oh, wow.
Great acting by both.
I can get to take you in and to get justice for Lundy, but forgive you.
Oh, fuck you.
Oh.
Let's just get to the station.
Wait, no, don't, don't.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
She just wanted the weight lifted before she left.
Trinity's daughter just confessed everything
and then killed herself
in front of me
I'm in one piece
Jesus
I could really use some family right about now
or Dexter Morgan serial killer
Or Dexter Morgan brother
Yes
I'm on my way
Damn
Oh no
No
No
I need to be a good brother now
So that I can be a good serial killer
later
Shit
Oh boy
Kyle Butler
Butler working here
Sure sorry there's no one by that name my mistake yeah
Is that career pamphlet
Oh nice move
I'm afraid to erase this name
No
Lundy
Like a yeah like a symbolic
Because then this is all over
I guess it is
And Frank's still dead
I'm not stupid
No
I knew finding his killer
Wouldn't bring him back
But you want to feel some kind of weight lifted
Yeah
I thought it would bring something
Damn dude
No
Yeah
I've got it
Oh
Yeah
Yeah, it should be you.
Wow.
Damn, he is really working himself into the homicide department.
What the hell is he going to do?
I mean, there's nothing Dexter can do to him here in public, right?
Of course. Yeah, so.
Even if he knows even if he sees him.
Wow, he's just walking in here looking around.
Oh, he's like, they are so on to me.
I mean, I know you just walk around like you're supposed to be there.
You can...
Mr. Bodry, you've done me a kindness.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, two titans colliding.
This is bonkers.
This is insane.
Whoa!
That's the name of the title of this episode.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, dude.
What a penulteum episode.
All right, we got to get right into the finale here, so we're going to do that.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my God, dude.
She's meaner, she's bigger, she's bad, Joan.
That's right.
Is that your McConnell?
Hey, Joan.
Hey, John.
You know he smokes a lot of cigarettes.
Oh, that's right.
My favorite hero, Landau?
All right, guys.
We are on season four, episode 12, the finale.
John, I don't want it to end.
It's so good.
I know.
All right, and commencing in a three.
And I want to one.
They...
Getaway.
Why not the perfect getaway?
What the hell have I done?
I'm sorry, sir, you're on the wrong floor.
Oh, it's exactly the right floor.
There is so much tension right now, and the stakes are so high.
So what do you want?
I want you to disappear from my life, like a ghost.
What do you think? I'm Patrick Swayze.
And you'll disappear from my life.
I couldn't care less about your life or death.
Fascinating.
Unless you get in my way.
Fascinating.
If I were you, I'd give up vigilance.
You're not very good at it.
Ha ha, ha.
You have no idea, Bucco.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I hope he's not in the phone book.
He's right.
I screwed up.
I'll let it come to this.
But no more.
I'm watching you.
No fucking more.
Yes.
Yes.
The gloves are off.
The game is afoot.
Or in the middle of the day you're at again.
Do your fucking job.
Whoa!
Oh, no.
Lab geek my ass.
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't answer it.
It could be important about the baby or something.
I have something very important to say.
I'm pregnant again.
Wow.
I want my honeymoon with you this weekend.
Rita.
Let me take care of a little business first.
Perfect time.
Aster and Cody will be in Disney room.
Oh.
I always wanted to go there.
I think it's fantastic.
I'll start booking flights to hotel.
in flights of hotel and...
Yeah!
Jesus Christ, dude!
Oh!
Gotta risk it.
Maybe the only opportunity I get.
The guy who he hit.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yep, the guy who he hit.
Oh, Christ the Lord, no.
Go home.
I'm gonna call homicide, meet to these cities.
Christine Hill just committed suicide in front of you.
Yeah, dude.
Oh.
Stambo trees.
Is our number one Trinity suspect?
We want it.
Good luck.
Stan.
Do we live in together?
Married people do that.
Yeah.
My house?
Your house sounds fine.
My casa, sue casa.
You said my dad left you for another CI.
You followed him to her house.
Any chance you remember where she lives?
Shit.
Really?
Great.
My day just got wide open.
You up for a road trip?
Ugh.
Oh my goodness.
No, no, no, don't like that.
This is how you find closure.
You find out your dad's past.
And you find out Dexter's, uh, relationship and
connection to that pest.
Whoa!
Damn.
Damn.
What is in that package?
Finally, it's over.
Savings account closed, checking account closed.
Huh? Huh?
That you'll be missing with all your money and everyone will assume that you skip the country.
Luck is finally working with me.
I don't know about that.
Oh, no.
He spoke too soon, you jinxed it.
I was on my way to a crime scene.
Come on, he's working the whole cop brotherhood angle.
No one's above the law, pal.
Okay, be cool.
I'll pay for your mirror.
That's right, don't get shorty.
Oh shit.
So much for diplomacy.
Oh, I hate this, dude.
Oh my God.
How is this one episode going to tie all this up?
He was a man.
Yeah.
things too like he always made me feel safe and the crowd I ran with that meant a lot

Oh my god. Dude, this is gonna just shatter her world view on everything.
What do you want me to say? I'm here because I lost it. Yes, I fucking lost it.
On a fucking cop. They were gonna find him. They were gonna find me with an unconscious man.
That's not.
Oh, cool.
I couldn't just let them find him. God damn it. I have to be the one to kill him.
Oh.
I have to know he's gone.
My family.
Exactly.
You can't think clearly because of them.
Oh, shit.
They've done this to you.
Oh, no.
Oh, I don't like this.
Yes.
It's ruining my life.
It is your life.
Yes.
All the above.
Been back checking Stan Bodry's truck and route stuck up a couple of past employers.
They put him 3,000 miles away from Pittsburgh and 89.
In Sacramento and 92.
So he couldn't have been at those locations.
If he's not a guy, we're gonna look like fools.
I knew it wasn't Bodry.
Hey.
We believe in you, Masuka.
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I asked about the dates on this postmark.
Summer of 92, there was a bathtub murder.
Where was Stambodry?
In addition to those murders, there was a 10-year-old boy missing five days prior to the bathtub kill.
Sounds familiar.
So I called a few cities.
Ten-year-old boys missing?
Every time.
Ew.
Wow.
Let's check every Trinity city for missing 10-year-olds.
We may be looking at a whole new pattern.
Great scott.
This is heavy.
This is heavy, Doc.
Brian and Dexter and Looser?
Oh!
Ooh-hoo!
Yeah.
Ooh-hoo!
She just realized they're brothers!
We're out of bunks for the night.
There's a shot, Arthur, still, I'm just...
Bummer.
Budget cuts are getting worse and worse.
This guy looks familiar.
We figure we could at least do you the favor of calling your wife.
Have her come pick you out.
My wife?
Fucking A. God damn it, man. Oh.
How is it I can kill people and feel no regret?
The disappointing Rita makes me feel like the scum of the earth.
Come on. Scum of the earth.
First it was smashing that light, which was weird.
And then you punched Elliot, which actually light.
Hey.
Yeah, huh?
Pick a fight with a sheriff.
It's a whole side of you. I don't know, Dexter.
This darkness creeps in and takes over.
Makes you sound crazy.
Maybe I am.
Maybe I am.
No, I don't believe that.
Trying desperately not to be crazy.
Shit.
Hey, me and Dexter were thinking along the same lights.
Bring me your jewelry.
Gold, silver, anything with stone in it.
And all the cash in your purse.
Wow, dude.
What did you do?
Doctor, please, no.
Don't ever question me.
I gave you everything you have.
I will take it all away.
Wow, you do have a god complex in this house.
Someone stole something from me.
And I'm gonna find him
I just hope he doesn't find out his
I just hope he doesn't find out his son help Dexter
This is our chance
We'll live in fear
We already do
He's got a point
Yeah we could at least be free in fear
Then prisoners in fear
Thanks for your time deputy chief
I know you're busy
Jesus
Oh yeah
He told Dexter not to
Yeah on the golf course
Laura Moser was murdered
In that shipping container
She had two boys
One of those boys was Dexter
Oh
Yeah
Harry adopted him.
The other boy was too damaged by the incident.
Oh.
Your father wanted to protect you.
He didn't want either one of you to ever know.
Yeah.
Ah, shit, dude.
Naur.
Naur.
Nor.
Is Rita get to see the real Dexter?
Or the dark passenger Dexter, at least, I mean.
Dexter.
Whenever they picked up Paul, it was a relief.
My life got easier.
Oh.
The man physically abused her and mentally.
anguished her.
What's upsetting me
is the idea of losing you.
Oh, Rita.
Please fly to the keys tomorrow morning.
I want to meet you.
Truly, there's nowhere I'd rather be.
Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
I don't like it.
I don't like, I don't like, I don't like it.
Do you remember any little things about the van?
Was empty except for some papers.
There was a picture on it.
Do you remember what it looks like?
It's a picture of Jesus.
I suck a drawing, so this would not be helpful for me.
I was going to say, is it going to be the build flyer?
Yeah, that's what that's the one I was I just forgot the name four four walls is that what's called?
Yeah
Grimm
It's got to be a missing ten-year-old boy
Grim
Oh, Jesus Christ
Approximate age
10 years old
10? Yep, yep
Oh, I'm really
Oh, he's at the apartment? He's at the apartment
Oh no oh no oh no oh no he's not at the house
Oh, weird.
Shit!
Oh, please, Toby Demp's not home.
You're a little piggy, Dexter Morgan.
Nice little window into...
Debra!
Debra!
Disney World awaits.
They'll be safe there.
I've always wanted to go to Disney World, John.
Oh, that's Paul's parents.
Goofy grandparents.
I just got a few loose ends of time of work, and I'll see you tonight.
That's going to be a frigate release.
Can't wait to be with my family.
God, I hope we get to that honeymoon.
It's gonna be a wild little finish here, John.
Did he take his tools, pack a bag?
Does he have a passport?
I don't know.
When we got up this morning, he was gone.
Oh, Shaz-Bod.
You gotta get the hell out of there, dog.
Whoa!
It's the buzz!
Oh my god!
Hate that.
Hate that.
Whoa!
Do you sneak out of the back door?
Damn!
Damn, they know who he is now.
They got the name.
Dexter, where's your flag jacket?
I left it in the car.
Did you see this?
No, we're here.
Look.
Oh, look how weary she is of him.
Yeah, she's not looking at him the same.
Yeah, he's brothers with Biny.
It's the fucking karate kid.
Whoa.
You pull that shit again next time I won't be the one who's on my ass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, don't let them see you.
This poor family.
Yeah, God.
Oh, no.
No, that's not going to be your family.
Arthur left his family too late.
The damage was already done.
You can still save your family.
Jeez, dude, this debate is heavy.
Because long after you're executed,
they'll still have to go through life with your name branded across their foreheads.
Ooh.
I found another CI dad was sleeping with.
Laura Moser?
A woman named Laura Mose.
Yeah
Should it?
Look, she died, but she left behind two little boys.
Oh.
And one of those little boys was you.
Ooh.
Oh, shit.
Don't say the rest.
Don't know it.
The ice truck killer.
Oh.
The ice truck killer.
Oh.
And that's all she knows.
Think Brian knew about me.
He must have glommed onto you as a way to get to me.
Oh, this is good.
Did you see, it wasn't your fault?
He wasn't your fault.
If I've never been in your life.
Fuck you.
Oh.
If you hadn't been in my life, I wouldn't be who I am.
He's been the one constant.
The one constant.
Family runs deeper than blood.
No one would ever say that about Arthur.
Maybe Harry's wrong.
Maybe things could turn out differently for me.
You're a different guy.
Oh, the wind chill.
First-rate job. Congratulations.
It was Detective Morgan who brought these killings to the department's attention.
And Lundy.
Fuck, yes, Special Agent Lundy.
You can hear her voice.
We'll be taking over from here.
So after we do all the heavy lifting.
You get all the credits.
I'm sure they're grateful for all your hard work.
Oh yeah, they get to take credit for.
Oh, yeah.
Literally did all the work for this.
the work for them. It's all right, Dexter's gonna get the final word.
You're hoping.
Stupid car, I've been good to you. How dare you not work on me?
Who's my fucking oil captain?
Yeah.
Whoa!
Hello, Arthur Mitchell.
Wow.
Oh, finally, Jesus Christ.
I've been waiting for this so long.
I was following my path.
My path?
A man with a godlike complex would say that.
Yeah.
Such an effective little motif.
Oh, this is going to be his greatest blood vial.
I gave everything.
No, you took everything.
The future.
Their hope.
Christine even killed herself.
No.
What did you expect, dude?
She just wanted your approval and know you loved her.
and you told her no.
I prayed to be changed,
to be made different.
That's not trying.
That's waiting.
Do you stop?
Cool.
It's already over.
Oh.
Oh, is that the train?
Ugh.
You brought him down to the shelter,
right?
The bomb shelter?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't even realize.
It took me a moment to realize.
Oh.
Oh, you're gonna bludgeon him.
Woo!
Slice of life.
Holy shit.
Dude, you better get out to Rita.
It's nighttime now.
I wonder if Rita's looking at this same moon,
at this same moment.
I like that connected by light.
Hey, that's deep.
That's in such a rush to get Harrison organized.
I forgot my ID for the plane.
Oh.
So I'm zooming home for it.
Oh, and I know you're not into this stuff,
but the moon tonight is going to be amazing.
Oh.
Oh.
I'm so confused.
Please tell me something didn't happen.
Please tell me.
What the fuh.
Oh my God.
He didn't do anything.
Arthur.
Oh my God.
What?
Oh my God.
What?
What?
What?
What?
What?
Did Arthur do something?
Please tell me Arthur.
It wasn't there.
Oh my God!
No!
Holy fuck
Rita!
No, no, Rita!
What?
Oh, oh, oh, both of us.
Oh, no.
I thought I could change what I am, keep my family safe.
But it doesn't matter what I do.
What I choose.
I'm what's wrong.
I was so worried this is going to.
happened.
This is fate.
I didn't even want to say it in case it was going to happen, but I was worried.
Oh my God.
Wow.
I don't even know what to say, John.
I don't either.
Yeah, so that was season four.
guys um oh my god shit fuck rita punishing where do we go from here um all right well that was
season four um yeah uh if you are in youtube make sure you do all the YouTube stuff

to get them viewable here on
the YouTube's and if you are listening
to us on Apple or Spotify
if you don't mind dropping us a five-star rating
we would really appreciate
it
John I know we
gotta do this first oh yeah yeah we're just gonna keep ourselves a little bit on track there's a
stack shoots because yeah i get out of control when it comes to talking so it's a good idea
to hold me account we're both prone both have a lot of thoughts but we can be i think we can
be thorough but efficient just i'm assuming we have a lot of questions but just within one minute or
so how are you feeling oh this is you know still a bit of shell-shocked obviously
taken aback heartbroken
but this is a fantastic season
TV this was a really
fascinating story from top to bottom
excellent guest stars
because
you know John Lithgow
obviously is you know
going to be the one that everybody spotlights the most
but the
gal who played Christine
also great and a lot of other great
performers along the way as well
a lot of great plot lines a lot of great emotional
developments this was tremendous i agree with you it was definitely the best season is also the most
tragic and heartbreaking and there's been tragic and heartbreaking season so far i again i had a feeling
this an inclination this could happen but i didn't want to say i didn't want to possibly make it
come true i thought if i didn't say it it might not happen but i don't i don't know where we go from
here because dexter has been in a play i mean i'm going to save my my thoughts for the question
but again emotional engaging action-packed well I wouldn't say action-packed but just like the moments where we did get action and and Dexter dark passenger moments were incredible immersive and really there was so much suspense too this is probably one of the heaviest when it comes to suspense you know especially the tension between dexter and Arthur was incredible and their dialogue was so fascinating to watch especially when you see the trauma that has brought them to this point and
point in terms of where they are in the present and then but also they've had different nurturing
in terms of their parents and their mentorship so it's just really fascinating but we have a lot
of questions so we're going to get right into it and then i mean these are probably going to
address anything else yeah exactly exactly that's this this is a season where like the questions
are going to probably be pretty pointed i'm kind of sharing with saving my thoughts right now i'm
sure exactly thank you uh anyways vampire toad
this is a big season and a big finale.
Here, here.
What are your feelings about the way this season arc wrapped up?
How do you think Dexter is going to be affected
by the events of the finale?
With all this in mind,
how do you see season five,
probably my favorite season,
unfolding,
what are your expectations,
your worries,
or your hopes,
keep up the great reactions.
I really enjoy your friendship and commentary.
I can't wait for some great season five conversations.
Absolutely.
Love you, friend.
Love you, too, brother.
Love you,
T, you want to go first on this?
Sure. I mean, absolutely.
Quite a few questions in here to unpack, but...
I'm excited for season five, and yeah, we'll do our best.
I feel like we can be both eloquent but concise today.
But, yeah, I feel like I've heard a few people say
season five is their personal favorite whilst acknowledging,
like, everybody agrees on one through four,
and then I feel like from here on we're out of the realm of, you know,
unanimity. So I'm really excited to check out season five and two with this like direct fulcrum of a cliffhanger.
I only can imagine that this is going to do a huge number on Dexter's growth as a person,
especially due to, you know, all of the realizations he's having at the end of this,
him be like, no, no, no, I'm good for Deb. I'm good for my family. They love me. They want me in their lives.
And do they want what I bring to them? And I can be a force for good in their work.
and also a protector of sorts.
And so I am faithful that he's not going to go all the way off the deep end
because of his specific kid Harrison.
Cody and Astor, I don't even know what becomes of them.
They're still his kids.
Yeah, I feel like season five is going to be a heavy and a dark season for Dexter personally.
And in terms of the way this wrapped up, I mean, heart wrenching, certainly.
And I mean, it's less of a, you know, it's a less of a bummer that the FBI is going to basically
get the credit for this
knowing that
you know once
it's off of Miami Metro's
hands you know Dexter taking out
Trinity isn't as big of a problem
for the people we care the most about
but yeah man
the whole Rita thing I
it was such a
taught compelling
cat and mouse game and it was so
kind of you know you had that kind of
of catharsis breathe
out it's done and then yeah
that ending just freaking
Wallop. Yeah, and also too, obviously we make the comparisons and the parallels between Harrison, which just happened with the trauma and being born in blood, which, you know, with the title of the episode to Dexter. But I would also point out that Astor and Cody are now also in the position of Dexter where their mom was just slaughtered as well. And now Dexter has to become their hairy. So I would also point that out as well. I would also say that we are going to now have a season where Dexter is going to feel guilt that this is.
all his fault when he could have allowed this man to jump off the building when he had a chance to
take this man out but he threw his phone and got arrested when he took the call from Deb and
went to see her there were several chances to take this man out and Rita would still be alive
right now so Dexter is going to go through an internal crisis of his own of guilt of I could have
had him several times I could have let him jump to his fate but I didn't
because I had to get the kill.
And so, yeah, I think it creates a moral dilemma for Dexter,
but it also creates incredible drama as well for us, the viewer, and the audience.
And, you know, Dexter's going to really have to step up his game as a father
because now he's a single parent.
And I myself, and granted, my mother was not slaughtered like this,
but I know a thing or two about a parent having to be the mom and the dad at the same point
because my dad was incredible when it came to.
that he had four children by himself and it's not an easy job so i i feel for dexter and also my dad was
not a vigilante at the same time so i can only imagine the double duties of having to do mom and dad
plus everything else they was doing so we thought dexter was tired in the first episode uh you know
having a guilty conscious uh 24 7 plus being a vigilante i can imagine he's probably going to retire
from vigilante duties uh feeling the guilt and i know i'm probably going on and on right now because i've got
so many damn thoughts and we got so many damn questions and but actually this is this is not as
formidable of a block as some of these yes either either way season two i think had like a bunch of
either way if i was a writer i if i was a writer and i was writing season five there's a
myriad of ways i we could go with with season five in my mind with at least dexter's character
and also with the kids uh so and two the question becomes like what is the what is the trinity
bleed over going to be because it certainly
seems as though this was
a Trinity the first you know
the bathtub kill
so unless something awful
happened that is outside of that that
I can't see coming yeah I'm like this is gonna
how is Dexter getting tied up
in the Trinity the drags
of the Trinity case going to
factor in
Dexter's going to marry Arthur Mitchell's
wife and take and adopt his
children and then they're going to be one half of it now seriously
he's going to have five
kids. This is so
tragic. I'm like
I really am going to hate
not seeing Rita anymore like this is so
freaking awful and sad
and again like
I'm going to understand the perplexing
thought of that's going to be going through Dexter's mind
of why didn't I just
allow my ego to let this man
jump to his fate
so that's going to be
fascinating to watch
as we get into season five so
like I'm excited for season
season five from a
dramatic and character growth perspective
but I'm also it's a daunting thing
to have to go through
because we're gonna
if we thought we've seen Dexter
at his lowest point
I don't think we have
this is a different
kind of lowest point
and I really feel for him
so and the family of course
so yeah thank you
Vampire Toad hope we were able to answer
your question or questions
appreciate you being a royal reject
absolutely
You got the thing.
Lindsay du-de-de-de-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-h.
Here we go, John and Andrew, this, the time is here.
You've finished what may he consider a top-tier season finale.
Where do we go from here?
Who will Dexter become without Rita and what will happen to the kids?
Was it ever possible for Dexter to have it all, a real life and his hobby?
Or was this always a doomed reality?
Well, Lindsay, really, really appreciate the question.
I think I answered three quarters of the question just a moment ago.
But I will say, was it ever possible for Dexter to have it all a real life and his hobby?
I mean, I think he was going to retire after this finale.
I really, in my heart of hearts, believe that he was going to retire that hobby possibly
and just really focus on his life with Rita and the kids.
Yeah.
And that's where it seemed to the indication to me, at least my interpretation was.
So I think it was possible not to do both because it seemed like it was too much of a juggling act to do both.
As much as I appreciated that he was taking out the trash and being that vigilante.
And it was seriously a very dutiful thing that he was doing.
And like, and it was very noble.
And but it was also, it was a lot to have to be able to juggle family life and be this vigilante that takes out the human garbage.
It's a lot for any human to
I mean just being a family man is a lot
So to have to be able to do both
I think would be a bit much
And that's why I think
Had all this gone over smoothly
In the final episode here
And Rita did not meet her doom
From this horrific monster known as Arthur Mitchell
I really feel like Dexter could have had it all
While retiring the dark passenger
And he had accepted that
He told Harry and his subconscious here
When he was dressed up as the cop there
at the crime scene
or rather at Arthur Mitchell's home
that he was ready to have this life
with Deb
Oh, TEP, excuse me
That is his wife in real life at the time
But I mean with Rita, excuse me
I know you've been shipping them
No, that was only the one time
In the season one.
Just because these questions are quite similar
I'm going to pull in Riannan as well
Thank you for chiming in
And hi guys, first time question actor
Asker long time Dexter lover
Thank you for chiming in as well
Rianan asks
With the season four finale in mind
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
How do you feel about Rita's role
and character arc throughout the series?
Do you think her ending was inevitable
or could things have gone differently
if Dexter had made other choices?
Yeah, I mean, to this collective question,
like, I'm not sure I would imagine,
it's like if, yeah, if he'd got his guy
and Rita was fine and they got to have their little honeymoon,
I could certainly imagine a version of this
where if, I don't necessarily foresee him
in that case, retiring the Dark Passenger
completely, but certainly re-adjointed,
adjusting his work-life hobby balance and yeah being maybe a little less
chaotic in the application of some of that and I do love the you know tension that they
ring out of him in a season like this being like well I can't kill him yet I've got
stuff to learn and I still got to kind of understand a greater context about this guy who's you
know uniquely suited to shine some light on my own condition but yeah when it comes
to Rita like the I have to imagine that
This is going to send him into a spiral of sorts.
I think the grasp on humanity that he has right now,
tenuous though it may be,
is going to get more tenuous.
I don't foresee it 100.
I think that would be the question.
Will it break,
given that he still has the kids to ground him?
But will he be able to accept,
you know,
the responsibility of being their dad
and the implications of that,
given who he is?
But I think the fact that he finds little Harris
in this pool of blood
will ignite that sort of hairy instinct
of like I got to look out for this kid
at least. But it's
just so tragic with Rita.
I mean, I don't know what will happen to the kids.
I mean, on the one hand, I could see
Dexter having, you know, custody
or care of them. And at the same time, I could imagine
a version of this where that's not really
plausible or possible
or maybe, you know, social work or
whatever, you know, doesn't think that's the best
idea, but he can keep his biological son.
I honestly am not really sure what to
expect of the kids other than a lot of grieving and mourning and a funeral to start it's like we
ended season three on a marriage now we and start season five i assume on a funeral and uh i mean
rita's role has been really lovely and uh i mean her performance uh julie bends has been amazing
and the arc of the character like who she's grown into i know we have sat here and commented
so many times about you know the different emotions and and you know states of mind that she's
able to portray and going from somebody who was a lot more timid and fragile and who was clearly
still actively, you know, caught up in a lot of trauma to watch her do the work on that and to
really learn how to set boundaries. Like, she's kind of often her own show in a lot of ways. And it's
interesting to watch Dexter try and rise to the occasion for her. But, uh, but yeah, like the amount of
strength and growth that that character showed was a really vital and important, I think, presence on
the show and I do feel like
I feel like characters in that position are often
kind of unfairly
you know sort of cast into
like a you know I don't like this character
because they're getting in the way of the fun shit
that my protagonist is doing
but I really do love the motif of
you know him wondering
and dissecting the idea that Rita
and by proxy the kids keep him
and make him human and that
they inspire they are the seed
that grows the goodness that
you know if any goodness
takes place in there there's a seed from harry there's a seed from deb and there's a seed from
rita and the kids basically and they were probably the strongest most current vital one so uh i
mean just all of the love and and you know appreciation for the work that julie ben's put on
screen that they put on screen together and i just wonder where the context was like if this was
always part of one of the books or you know if this was always part of the plan or if she was just
ready to i'm sure at this point your star is probably more established and
more on the rise than at the start.
So maybe she wanted to move on.
I don't know, but either way.
I feel like things could have gone differently
if he had made some different choices in this season.
And I feel like things could have turned out differently
if she hadn't died.
And I am just so fascinated to see what the fallout
and what the unpacking of this is going to look like.
And these are all great points and good questions to ask John.
And it's never where I thought it would happen.
No, no, no, no, of course.
It hurts.
it's the first time we've gotten like a real this is going to this season is going to lead
directly into the next season for sure no for sure and again it at one time said it in my head
i'm like when he was looking at deborah's stuff and at the apartment and i was just worried like
i hope he doesn't find out the the actual address to to where dexter and and ria live but
you know that old saying history repeats itself over the cycle you know the vicious cycle repeats
and when it comes to being born in blood,
obviously with Harrison and all that.
But Rita's arc throughout this entire series
has been really, it's been fun to watch.
It's been tragic at the same point to watch,
but it's been very, it's been satisfying to watch,
is what I would say too, at the same point.
To see her be such a pushover at the beginning
and then to see her finally having her own agency
and to stand up for herself
and to be so direct with people and to feel her feelings.
And then the relationship that has blossom
over the last four seasons between her and Dexter,
it's really been, it's like a seed that you plant into the ground
and then you see it blossom into a beautiful flower.
It's really been beautiful to watch.
And like to see that flower just be ripped out from the ground
from John and I and all you who love this show,
it's really tragic to see.
I know I continue to use that word,
at nauseam, John.
But it's, like,
it, I was just getting choked up listening to John talk about Rita and just even
seeing the name, like, it's, that's, this character means a lot to, I'm going to
speak for you, John, to John myself, and I'm sure most of you all, like, I know John was
just making the point like, yeah, this character might get in the way of the, the fun stuff,
the dark past, I, I never like felt that way because like I felt like this character,
as John also just pointed out, and we've talked about this before in other reviews, she made Dexter
feel, and I know being the dark passenger, too, because of his traumatic past, you know,
he feels alive when he scratches that itch and he becomes the dark passenger and he's taking
out the human filth, which we all can appreciate, you know, I feel, that she allows him to
breathe and makes him feel alive and humanizes him. And it's really going to really be hard
to see. And when it comes to the kids next season, I could see a scenario where Rita's mom comes
back and helps out a little bit. I can see a scenario where Paul's parents have to help out a little bit
and do double kind of parenting duties kind of thing. So I'm curious. I mean, John also made the point
about social. We'll see. I don't know because I can imagine Dexter in his guilt and his haste is going to
feel again a lot of guilt. And maybe that's going to unfortunately transition and rub off over to the
kids and he's not going to be able to be there emotionally and physically for the children. So I worry about
that but I think that's going to be part of his emotional arc and his growth in the next season that he's got to be there for them, especially at this moment. So I'm really going to, and I know we're sure, I'm assuming we're going to get some moments here and there of Julie Ben's coming back when Dexter thinks about her. I wonder. But I'm really, I'm really going to miss having her on the show, man. It's, she is such a great character. She was really three dimensional. She had so many different complex layers to her. And it was just more than, Dexter, I want you to change and be the man.
I want you to be like just having the moment
where she confessed like what she did
and that when Dex was being
very simplistic in his emotional
intelligence of course to say
oh no it's fine like we'll get over it
kind of thing and like to see like
I'm glad that you're like not
you know you're not ripping my head off about
this that's sweet of you but like don't
don't you give a shit don't you care yeah I want you
to like you know give a damn about this
yeah some kind of strong reaction to this yeah
but then when she saw that he punched the man
who did this again you know
violence is not always the way obviously but like that showed like oh my god this man really does
care about me he loves me he'll fight for me uh you know if if another man puts his hands on me
and you know i was i was emotionally uh you know vulnerable in the moment and and i succumbed to
that that emotion type of thing but like i loved her so much and this is just again so heartbreaking
so uh i'm gonna be happy to at least hopefully see her in some moments but also it's going to
make me sad that she's not fully a part of the show anymore.
And I can only assume when they told Julie Ben's the show,
hey, this is for the betterment of the show, unfortunately.
But we're sorry, we have to kill off her character.
You can only imagine.
Again, if it's not a scheduling thing,
she must have went, oh, no, oh, I'd love to be on the show.
But she did a phenomenal job.
Like, praise to Julie Ben's.
Great job, seriously.
You really brought the character to life.
Like, incredible job.
And the chemistry between her and Michael C. Hall was absolutely phenomenal.
You really felt that they were just such a,
dynamic duo and you really bought that relationship and and all their all their strengths all
their things all the times that they conflicted with each other it was just it was just a wholesome
organic relationship from top to bottom I'm gonna miss her so much thank you so much for the
question of X absolutely for both Rianan and Lindsay yes for the questions if we appreciate it
and then Rianan has a follow-up here okay how does this twist compare to the other big
shocks and dexter up to this point um and loving the reactions thank you rey and we appreciate you so
much and for asking the question for the first time uh please ask more questions in the future
love to hear from you uh because we got the biny twist that was holy crap even deborah finding
out i don't know if that's a twist per se but i don't i'm i'm gonna go with reed i mean yes i know
you can say they were building up to this moment because the women in the bathtub and then a child
born out of blood and they called it
so if you probably rewatch it you're like they're building
up to this moment I'm gonna go with Rita
man I know it's recency biased
but the Biny one was huge
I'm not downplaying that
in any way
it's either that or this
yeah it's between those two it's like hey
it's literally right there they're both
they're both huge they're both huge
I'm not down playing Biny in any way
that was like holy shit
but
I think this one this one just
And again, I fell for binding.
They gave the fact that you can make me feel sympathy
for a man who is literally taking life
and not human garbage.
You know what I mean?
And because he didn't have that nurtureship
and that mentorship, rather.
And it gives you that sense of,
oh, wow, we really are a product of the environment around us
and that we grew up in.
You know what I mean?
So I felt for Biny.
And again, that twist was horrible.
It was crazy, rather.
and but this one just this hurts more this twist honestly it's more shocking in a way it's just more
painful and and cold and sad uh i mean yeah it's either that or or the ice truck
yeah the brian reveal the brian moser reveal uh it's either i think that in context is like
super strong and was a real fierce one-to punch with like oh we know who it is before the end of
the show and oh shit now we really know who it is
But this definitely was a gut punch and a wallop.
And whereas that, I think you could maybe more easy, not easily.
You could more readily, I think, unravel that than predict this.
I mean, her being off screen kind of tricks you into a false sense of security because you're like, yeah, she's going away on her trip.
But, but yeah, like once she gets back and it's that whole like, oh, you know, I forgot something at the house like, yeah, my stomach just started to sink.
And it's like you're either in for a sweet moment or.
or a not very sweet moment.
And I mean, yeah, like every season has had great twists
and great reveals, but I think these two
certainly take the cake in terms of just, again,
the magnitude of them, most certainly.
Yeah, thank you so much for the question.
We appreciate our questions, we appreciate it.
All right, Hunter Preston,
how do you feel about the villain of the season
slash week of Dexter at this point?
When Dexter came out, that was the mole.
for most shows, but by the time it ended, TV switched over to storylines told over multiple seasons.
Yeah, I mean, I think at the time this was coming out, you know, you're starting to crest
into having cable prestige television be more accessible to people and I think just a bigger
cultural force than ever before. I think you're transitioning out of the time when like network TV
is the main water cooler entertainment. And so yeah, I think it's a
fascinating thing to observe.
I like the fact that you have
a villain of the season, but you also
have some episodic nature
with each season, but you also have a
much stronger than I had even expected
through line of Dexter's
growth as a human to really make
everything feel serialized.
So I think it's
really cool to see that this might
have rubbed off on so many things
and I really enjoy the
way they orchestrate their storytelling.
For sure. No, I think this
might have been my favorite villain
of the four seasons so far
and I think John Lithgow
just again the way I mentioned it already
a few times the way he was able to flip on a dime
when it came to his emotions and the way
he expressed himself and the way he was able to
just change from scary to welcoming
to psychotic
it's really impressive and that again
just gets me so excited for him as
Dumbledore because Dumbledore is such a welcoming
it's such a welcoming person
but there's one specific scene in half-blood
prints where he freaks out on a certain
set of people. And now watching John Lithgow on this, I'm like, I get why they chose him. He's
perfect for this. So yeah, I would say him, but also to the parallels between him and Dexter are just so
fascinating. I loved all their dialogue together. And also too, like the fact that Dexter could have
taken him out so many different times, but I'm like, he wanted to really improve his family life.
And when he saw this facade that Arthur had created of this perfect family life, you know, he's like,
I've got more to, you know, I really am a perfectionist when it comes to this. And I really do care
about my family. They mean the world to me. I truly believe that. And I feel like this man can
put me in a position before I take him out, that he can put me in a position where I comfort them
and put them in a position that they feel that they are loved because I have another job to do. But I
still want them. And this guy also does something very similar, although he takes out good people. But
you know we have similar paths just on different ends of the spectrum but we are we are trying to be good family mental though that was obviously again a facade when it came to Arthur so I understand Dexter's propensity and need to try to learn from this guy for like hey this guy's bad news but I'll try to get something good out of him and I can understand that that's a very human emotion and again grounds it to reality at the end it was unfortunately for Rita's undoing and it's just something
sucks. But if Dexter had a crystal ball and would have known that and were just taking him out or let him fall to his doom. But, you know, again, I don't blame Dexter when it comes to that kind of thing. Because no one can, you know, and no one can know the future. If they did, you know, they'd make a million dollars betting on sports games and all that kind of stuff. And then they'd be Biff Tannen. You know, so it's tough. But again, it creates an interesting conflict between the two because they are very similar when it comes to, again, their traumas and their past where Arthur,
Not similar in terms of just they have trauma pass,
but Arthur was mentally or mentally anguished, physically abused,
and this led him down this path,
whereas Dexter witnessed an actual murder of his mother
and this led him here,
but the difference was that Dexter had Harry,
whereas Arthur did not.
So it creates an interesting dynamic between the two of them,
and I loved all their dialogue was so fascinating.
Yeah.
So great, my favorite villain so far, Ben,
I've loved all the villains, just to add that.
Yeah.
That's high praise for how good the villains have been up to this point.
Super dimensional, kaleidoscopic, fascinating performance character at all.
Yes.
Like truly standout amongst a bunch of standouts.
Yes.
Hunter Preston, follow up question.
This is a pretty quick one.
Do you think Dexter would have benefited any from the way TV shows are structured today?
Possibly.
I mean, I'm assuming when this came out that this probably came out with what is
By the week, I don't know, do you know the answer to that?
Yeah, like weekly.
Okay.
You might have some reason why there's a couple weeks between usually weekly.
I'm going to assume that the question then is like going to, would this have probably
been like more of a streaming thing and it comes out all at once?
I guess for like people nowadays, they would have probably liked that we can just binge it all
now, but I like the mystery of, I remember like just growing up with shows, having to wait
that week.
I know it sucked, but I also like that nuance and that mystery of like having to wait.
It kind of sucks, but anticipation is.
is a part of the is a part of fandom is a part of enjoying yeah especially a long form anything or or i don't know yeah like anticipation is often the most fun part of the cycle and so a thing like this i think benefits from that and i honestly i don't really think that it would have benefited from the way tv shows are structured today because a it's not all together super different uh in that you know every episode has to have its own isolated structure and you know uh
thematics and whatnot. And I think they're really strong at giving each episode, you know,
different themes for all the different characters to confront. And, you know, you need some
kind of strong crescendo or cliffhanger at the end of each episode to get us coming back each week.
So I feel like, you know, this is kind of perfect for what it is. And this has a lot of the
great benefits of being both a limited series or having, you know, again, an anthological quality
in that you have one major case or a couple major conflicts each season. But, you know, you have
the serial the super serialized elements that go across every season as well and so like I think yeah
like now shows now have learned from this and I feel like dropping this all at once once as a binge
wouldn't help it really in any way like it's good it would still be great but I feel like week to
week with the way they write it right now zero complaints and there's nothing about the current state
of things I wish this had yeah no no agree with you and last thing I'll say I would just say like
I would definitely enjoy this as a binge
even though we didn't like binge it all the way through
we did it over the course of a couple weeks or so
but if I watch this whole thing right away
I'd be like shit I want more
so like having the weekly again
it adds a mystery but it adds the I think you said it best
it adds that anticipation so that's why I miss
like having with my smallville with my boy meets world
Power Rangers what Batman the Animated series
Bobby's world what all these great shows we had that weekly
thing there was just a sense of nostalgia
you know a nostalgic thing with it
it but also too it just it was a really a sense of uh just i got to wait but i got to wait for
something great so like we are binging this but i am happy for the breaks we get in between the
binges you know we're watching this faster than i would prefer even though this has been a blast
and i've loved the uniqueness of this experience but like as a general viewer yeah for sure i totally
agree one a bar thank you for joining us hi and john hello to you so happy you are
are both doing this watch-along.
It's been a lot of fun
re-watching the series with you both.
Thank you so much.
This has been an absolute joy.
The season finale, Cemented Dexter,
is one of my all-time favorite shows.
I didn't see Rita's death coming.
I was in shock for days.
I can tell we are going to be.
My question is,
what other TV shows or movies
had a shock or unexpected twist
that really stuck with you afterward?
No spoilers, if possible.
Oh, okay. I won't go with spoilers.
I'll just say the movie then, I guess, right?
Sure, why not?
uh the departed the departed i'll just leave it at that if you're not going to go
spoilers but i'll just say in the movie theater i remember going in a certain scene holy
holy shit holy shit i'll just say that uh because i can't go with spoilers here so i'll leave it at that
oh my goodness gracious me i know there's going to be some other answer i wish i named uh i mean
uh game of thrones has a lot of really crazy twists in it um don't say a word
word judge um goodness gracious i mean obviously there's stuff like oh it's the sixth sense or i remember
when split came out and like the reveal of that was like that was awesome pretty crazy that was
a cultural moment yes um i did not know that i don't remember in the theater i was like what i know
there's going to be something i love uh yeah that we forget to mention but yeah uh there are so many
great you know telly twists and movie twists and stuff like that yeah uh walking dead i feel like had
some good ones back in its heyday.
Yeah, goodness.
I'm going to have to think some more on that one.
I would love to, without, yeah, like, doing the spoilers.
Just name them in the comments.
You know what?
I would also put Terminator 2 Judgment Day in there as well.
Not the ending or anything, but like there's a point in the first 20 or 30 minutes,
if you haven't seen the trailers to that film, where there's a twist in there.
And I would say that I would put that movie in there as well.
I think you know what I'm talking about, right?
I think maybe.
Okay, well, we'll talk about it.
I can't talk spoilers because otherwise I would go more into context.
Yeah.
But if you know the plot of the first film and then when a certain thing gets revealed in the second film, you're like, oh my God, that's where we're going in this film, that is incredible.
I did not see that coming because I didn't watch the trailer to this movie where trailers a lot of time spoil things.
Yeah.
And I know James Cameron was not happy with the trailer.
So yeah, I would say terminating.
or two judgment day.
All righty.
Let's go with that.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate you, Juan.
Nick at night.
Oh, I love him.
That is great.
Hey, John Andrew, what's up, Nick?
Hope you enjoyed season four as much as I did.
Favorite season so far and tragic one, too.
I think it's the best season with all its reveals in Dexter meeting,
another killer as twisted as the ice cream truck killer.
I told you that's the name.
My question is, what do you think about dead?
finally learning about Dexter's connection to the ice cream truck killer and do you think it will
affect their relationship going forward thanks for all the hard work uh thanks for all the hard work guys
you're the best well nick thank you for getting the the ice cream truck killer name right
we appreciate that first of all um i know guys um so i thought that was fascinating the way
deb found out first and foremost and then the way she got it out of matthews because
Matthews is like okay
she is a detective
after all this isn't just some random
regular person coming up to me
I'm not gonna bullshit her
well yeah and like with that
interaction we saw with Dexter like clearly
he does he is a person some of the time
and it's like she's done the work she knows
she knows so now it's
yeah he just has to be there to
validate yeah I thought it was
fascinating the way Dexter was able
to on a dime
was able to react the way he did when he's like
oh she doesn't know that I've got the dark
passenger, so I'm just going to react as naturally as possible so I can sort of pull myself
out of the heat that I'm in right now with Deb finding out this information. And also the fact
that I didn't know that Deborah was raised, not Deborah, that Laura Moser was my mom and
that Brian was my brother. I didn't know that. What? What? Like, that was a good save on Dexter. I'll
give her that. But Deborah is very savvy. We've talked about how emotional she is. We've talked
about how impulsive she can be and that she wears her heart in her sleeve and by the way i just
want to give jess jessica jennifer carpenter her due her acting display this season the way she's
able to really let her emotions out and express herself if she was not nominated for an emmy
and again this is really not recency bias and also the fact that i'm so damn attracted to her but
if if she was not nominated for an emmy this season i really think they really shunned her
honestly that's just my opinion subjectively of course but she was that good honestly yeah having said
that deb is very savvy when it comes to her investigation skills she's not dumb she you like the fact
that she got as far she did with the trinity killer was impressive and just everything she's ever
been able to solve up to this point she's very good at her job something tells me she's going to
find out a lot more about her brother in the coming seasons that's just a me guess uh prediction rather
so there are interactions in the future especially also too now dexter is in a very emotionally
vulnerable place too as she is she lost the love of her life as well with lundie and that was stolen
from her as was dexter's as well this season so dexter they're going to need each other first of all
first and foremost but something tells me this is not over that you know she's
going to. Usually what happens in movies and TV shows, at least what I've learned, John,
the truth usually comes out at some point. And granted, Rita didn't learn exactly. I mean,
I don't know what the interaction was between Arthur Mitchell and Rita. I don't know if he said,
Dexter, the man you're married to is really a dark passenger. This is what he does. I have no
idea what their interaction. So I don't know if she really learned the truth in her final
dark moments or tragic final moments rather
but I have a feeling that Deb is going to find out
or figure out the truth she's that that good at her job
and that savvy and that smart what about you
yeah I mean I think this is definitely going to be something
that is looming over the next season for sure
I think that
you know I really appreciated the exchange that they had together
she yeah I absolutely agree she has been
incredible across the entire show especially over the course of the season and deb has had a
fuck ton of things to contend with and to go through and uh and her performances are just so vulnerable
and so vivid and uh and yeah she is an an incredible incredible performer uh and yeah i loved
that they you know really just touch on the fact like i love their exchange at the you know Mitchell house
where she's yeah telling him the information and he doesn't give her all of his knowledge but they
have a very lovely and painful little moment there and i think it kind of rips that wound back
open for him and it comes with a different context for him to be acknowledging it with his sister
uh you know it's just a different and but equally striking kind of emotional thing even
for somebody who struggles to understand you know the idea of their own
emotions. So yeah, I mean, I have to imagine that her knowing this is going to be a thing that
gets discussed talked about and that is something that can shed to some level of, like I have to
imagine some tension will arise out of it because, you know, if we, I don't know, I have to assume
that he's going to call it in to the police to Metro and then she's going to know about the intimate
details of the crime scene and how that is similar to what Dexter went through.
The bathtub.
Yeah, and I don't know, I have a feeling they're going to be, you know,
investigative reasons to bring it back up, but also, yeah, like if Dexter is leading a
double life, it's going to give her a new reason to be suspicious, but it could also bring
them closer in that, you know, it's another thing that Harry left them to contend with and
that he lied about in order to protect them.
And that's just a thing that when shared is a,
unique point of, of, uh, identification for two people who were the benefactors of that
lie. So, um, yeah, man. It's a really heavy revelation. I, and, uh, watching. I liked that that,
I like the up and downs and the backs and forth. Like, they really smartly, I think, beat these
storylines out over the course of a season. And so that thread could have been left with her
just deciding to not to. And I think the way it ultimately came back around and fulfilled itself.
was nicely handled and yeah I'm just I'm fascinated to know what's going to do to them especially
because Deb is about to become most of his you know humanity and support system for sure I agree
with you and I think that's going to be if she does really find out the truth like it might either bring
her bring her some closure and like why Harry was so dismissive and was not there for her because
she was trying to he was trying to contain this boy who had this tragic thing happened to him
and like really contain the dark passenger and that it's not that he didn't love you deb he did
but like he was trying to like keep the leash on this kid you know what i mean so and he
he thought you could handle yourself so it might it could bring her closure or it could bring resentment
towards dexter so we'll see and also one last thing i want to get to before we get to our boy j rushden
here john you know we did get asked the question about what was the more one of the most shocking
twist we didn't even mention christine hill that was quite a
of two ways too. I did forget to mention that.
That was quite a two.
I kind of packaged it up in there, but yeah, that was an incredible, yeah.
Yeah, I just wanted, I just wanted to, I just wanted to bring awareness to that.
That was quite a twist too, because I was like under the impression she was just
writing and had ambitious goals of her own and she was just using Quinn, which she was.
But I did not expect her to feed the, the Trinity Killer's daughter.
So that was quite an...
And just another shard of this guy's weird history that we know.
never get the full picture of, but that it is just so sorted and twisting and winding.
I mean, yeah, you could almost make a show just Arthur.
Yeah.
Well, that's the sign of a great show is like there is when you can imagine episodes of like
a show running alongside this.
Like I could imagine watching something that, yeah, focuses on this character or that
character because the life and the circumstance they've drawn is just that rich and
interesting.
I agree with you.
Also, just a couple quick shoutouts because I,
completely blank severance
great twists on that show
holy shit that show with the
twists and the mysteries
saw movies I'm a big sucker for saw
those are predicated on twists but also
shouts out scream
great movie great twists at least
early on especially
some good reveals across the franchise
and I will say
the identity
the movie identity the James Mangold
with John Cusack and a whole bunch of people
that movie I remember at the time
blew my mind with that twist and I saw that like when I was kind of like a you know literally have
no idea what the twist is slightly yeah don't don't look it up maybe I'll react to it if you guys
think I should save it and see if you if you guess it yeah like the sixth sense I've never seen
that film but I do know the twist because everyone is pointed it yeah but I would still love to see
that movie if you guys think that'd be reactionary worthy but the missed I don't know if that
counts as a twist it's more of a more of a shocking weird reveal but yeah they'll keep coming
to us. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But thank you so much, Nick and Knight for the question. We appreciate
you so much for being a royal reject. Jay Rushden. What up, Jay, and this is our final
question. Finally, we got Dexter Thanksgiving show. Question, what is your favorite Thanksgiving
food there? Oh, that's a tricky one. I got my answer, John. We'll go. Go for it. Oh, when the
bike messengers are not knocking me over, it's got to be the cranberries. I've made a good, I've made a good
homemade cranberry
I love them
in the canned shape too
but I've made a homemade
cranberry sauce
once or twice
I would like to be serious
and not give
a Sam Rami
Spider-Man reference
I would say
man I love yam
sweet potatoes
those are really good
I've really grown
to love turkey
with gravy I used to
hate it I used to think
turkey was so dry
and not good
but then when I started
doing gravy
a really good gravy
can accentuate so many
Thanksgiving dishes
low key
even though that's not like
it's a sauce
more than it is a food
I would, I would say gravy.
I mean, you say low key, but what about Thor?
Eh, hey, hey.
It's not as traditional, but it's traditional my family.
My grandma, my mom, me, we would make a, like a risotto on Thanksgiving.
It's pretty great.
Do love a gravy.
Love a biscuit.
We would also make, like, homemade little biscuits.
You know, you put some, like, pumpkin butter or some honey on that.
Ooh, John.
Real delicious.
Stop buttering me up.
It's weird.
It's like all the little side character.
MVP's. I also love to make, you know, like a, like I said, bourbon pecan pie or a pumpkin
pie or something like that. I love pumpkin pie. My favorite. Yeah. Yeah, I would also say sweet potato
parmesan, chicken casciatore. Oh, okay. Okay. These are some good things here. Along with the
classics, obviously. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Throw a good green bean or a mushroom on the side, you know?
Yeah, yeah, no, for sure. I'll eat anything at Thanksgiving table because I'm so thankful.
I'm thankful for you. I'm thankful for everyone here at Reject Nation for the whole team here.
thankful for all you guys.
Oddly enough, I'm not a big stuffing guy,
which I know is like Thanksgiving blasphemy,
but, you know, to each their own.
Yeah, no, for sure.
Yeah, no, no, I feel you.
But yeah, let us know in the comments.
What I would love to know a few things.
First of all, is this your favorite season of Dexter?
How would you rank it so far through the first four seasons?
If you want to tell us the whole thing, that's fine as well.
Oh, and mashed potatoes are great.
And what do you think about mashed potatoes as well?
We'd love to hear your thoughts when it comes to that.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
We want to know about that.
Also, when it comes to seasons 1 through 4,
don't go past.
What are some of the best twists when it comes to this show?
We'd love to hear.
Or just favorite twist in a movie or TV show as well.
You can mention that as well.
We appreciate you guys.
If you stuck with us this long, you guys are the best.
This was seriously.
Like, thank you.
This was great.
This was so well acted, so well written.
Oh, my God.
So great guest stars, multiple.
Yeah.
So taught.
Like, this is a show worth.
at least up till now worth studying.
Oh, my God.
I can't say enough about how great this was,
even though I am in shock and heartbroken and all that.
Agreed, agreed.
The first four seasons have been nothing short of,
holy crap, amazing, and also sad and tragic and immersive,
and I've enjoyed every single moment of it,
and I can't wait to continue as well.
Even if it's not as good as the first four seasons,
I'm still so intrigued by all these characters
and just to see where we go from here.
So again, if you've stayed with us this long,
we really appreciate you.
And yeah, just again, make sure you hit that notification.
By the way, you're notified whenever more Dexter videos drop.
Hopefully we will be coming soon to you with Season 5.
And just whatever videos, whatever else videos we drop here at the Rio Regiix.
So stay safe.
Take care.
Stay out of the bathtub.
Oh, God.
We love you, Rita.
So much.
Love you, Rita.
Thank you.
Thank you.
