Fair.
Kill him.
If I kill Kurt, that’s just another secret.
Yeah.
It’s looking more and more like Deb’s right.
I may have to kill him.
Have you heard?
Kurt’s been released.
Holy shit, that’s great.
Yep.
I’m going to have to kill him.
Dexter’s urge to kill was on full display in Skin of Her Teeth.
And we got a lot of vintage Dexter elements in this episode.
We had Dexter breaking down an official crime scene for Angela.
We also had Dexter breaking and entering and snooping around looking for clues.
And finally we had confrontational Dexter, where he tried using intimidation tactics
to back Kurt off from Harrison.
But Dexter once again proved that he is well past his prime and completely shot.
Too many tuna sandwiches, and as a result, Dexter gets blindsided by Kurt’s henchman.
But even without next week’s preview, we could assume Dexter would soon get the best
of this thug, even if he endures some damage for his trouble.
Kurt was arrested this episode, but his time in custody was shorter than some of Sugar
Ray Leonard’s retirements.
Kurt was soon released, and his entire defense was using his father as a scapegoat.
Kurt recalled how he saw how his old man treat working girls from back when he was a kid,
and when he was older and driving trucks with his old man, he said he saw Iris hop a ride
with Pops.
But his story didn’t match the flashback scene.
Kurt’s father would have looked older 25 years prior, and there is no sign of him gassing
up near where the truck picked her up.
The driver identified himself as Kurt, but even if they shared a name, Pops is making
a convenient scapegoat with shared DNA.
Although I do suspect there is truth that Kurt’s origins a whack job murderer probably
stemmed from his experiences with his old man and his treatment of working girls.
Regardless, Kurt was set free, and he knows basically everything.
He knows Dexter is the one responsible for murdering his son Matt, and even during his
brief stint in custody, Kurt showed Dexter that his reach extends beyond the confines
of a small town jail cell.
That brings us to Harrison, and I STILL remain convinced he does NOT have a dark passenger
in the same contest as his old man.
He may have a darkness and dark memories of poor Rita’s death at the hands of Trinity,
but I still think he’s basically good, not a whack job murderer like Dexter.
An eye for an eye, a son for a son.
That’s where this is all building, right?
Foreshadowing of Harrison’s demise has been THE constant theme all season!
That by being around Harrison, Dexter puts his life in danger.
The foreshadowing was there all the way back in the premiere episode of Dexter New Blood.
When Harrison arrived, and Deb scolded him - well there it is.
And then we also have the majestic white buck, being violently destroyed right before Dexter’s
eyes.
That broke him, because the white buck symbolized his salvation through his continued daily
routine.
The thrill of the hunt, without the climax of the kill.
And when the majestic white buck went down, Dexter killed again, and then he welcomed
Harrison into his life.
Harrison became the new symbol for his salvation, and Harrison will meet the same ill fate as
his predecessor.
I think Harrison is doomed to be killed right before Dexter’s very eyes.
Matt Caldwell killed the majestic white buck, and I firmly believe that Kurt Caldwell is
going to kill Harrison.
An eye for an eye, a son for a son.
I suspect Dexter will avenge his son, and that Dexter WILL get one final kill, his last
victim likely being Kurt Caldwell himself.
The kill will be glorious, but it will be a bittersweet act of vengeance.
This will provide little comfort for Dexter.
He avenged Deb’s death, but it didn’t bring Deb back.
And assuming things play out the way I expect, Dexter killing Kurt Caldwell won’t bring
Harrison back, either.
And I suspect it will be at THIS point, when Dexter is nearly broken, when he’s at his
absolute lowest point in his entire existence - that’s when his real doom will take shape.
The heroes in Dexter New Blood are Molly Park the true crime podcaster, and the big hero
will be Chief Angela Bishop.
They’re already onto Dexter, the pieces of the puzzle are all out there.
They are GOING to figure out that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Another assist from elsewhere might be forthcoming, but all of the pieces of the puzzle are there.
We know Molly had a theory that Doakes was the wrong guy.
Angela knows he was a bad-ass blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro.
Molly will know that the Butcher used blood slides, and if Batista figures in more, they
may also learn that LaGuerta believed Dexter was the Bay Harbor Butcher.
They’re already onto Dexter’s lying and a lot of his questionably shady behavior.
We know next week Miles is going to explain to Angela that Dexter jabbed him with a needle.
And who knows what other pieces of the puzzle Molly might be able to figure out, even without
Batista helping.
Molly knows Doakes was out of the country during some of the Butcher murders, and Molly
also knows that Debra Morgan was shot when Lundy was killed during the Trinity investigation,
and Molly also might perhaps know about that the very same Debra Morgan was once engaged
to the Ice Truck Killer.
Oof madone!
The one character I do wonder about, is whether there is any possibility we will see Matthews
again.
He knew that Dexter was the biological brother of Brian Moser, and Matthews also knew that
Dexter’s mother was murdered in front of him before Harry took him in.
What else did Matthews know?
Perhaps no more than what was already revealed, but there was always a sense that Matthews
knew much more about what Dexter was.
Maybe I’ve always read something that wasn’t there.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Batista again, and I wonder if Matthews might make
a surprise cameo, or possibly even Harry.
But Dexter is going down, and it WILL be ironic that the woman he saved - Molly - she will
be the one who helps bring him down.
But the big hero will be Chief Angela Bishop.
She will be the one to finally stop our favorite nut job serial killer, Dexter Morgan, the
Bay Harbor Butcher himself.
And at long last, Sergeant Doakes will be vindicated.
Actually, a better ending would be having Dexter wake up in the year 2007 where he is
promptly arrested by Doakes, who in turn is honored by Frank Lundy on behalf of the FBI
for his excellence in law enforcement.
Dexter dies in a prison fight, and Rita and Lila engage in a wild cat fight at Dexter’s
funeral.
Masuka and Deb get married and have many mother effin’ roly-poly chubby cheeked shit machines,
where they live happily ever after.
And then Matthews and Batista become roommates, and Doakes is later elected Mayor of Miami
in a landslide victory.
Think of all the spinoffs, Deb & Masuka together forever, Mayor Doakes rules Miami with a lovable
iron fist, and Batista and Matthews become a modern day Odd Couple.
Where do I sign?
But the ending I’m expecting.
Dexter witnesses Kurt kill Harrison, Dexter avenges Harrison, and then Angela takes Dexter
down.
The end.
Am I right?
Only 3 episodes left and we will know soon enough, and I can’t wait.
Thanks for watching everyone, I hope you enjoyed, and have a wonderful night.
Right in front of Dexter and his brother Brian.
Brian Moser?
The Ice Truck Killer, that was Dexter’s brother?
Yeah.
No, Kurt and I were sitting at the bar and Jim was actually sitting at this table.
I mean can you hear what Brian and Fred are fighting about from over here?
The Bay Harbor Butcher took blood slides from his victims.
Dexter is a blood spatter analyst.
And Doakes always thought there was something off about Dexter.
You’re connected to this.
I don’t know how, but I’m going to find out and some of what I find is gonna stick
to yo’ ass.
First Kurt is creepy, and now Jim.
If he wasn’t your boyfriend, I would totally do a deep dive.
I was just looking more closely at the dates of James’s Special Forces missions and–we
have a positive idea on the body.
And there may be an additional date which puts him out of the country.
The burn victim is Sergeant Doakes.
He said Doakes was out of the country doing some classified shit when some of the BHB
killings took place.
Why is Dexter in handcuffs?
I have proof he’s the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Doakes is the Bay Harbor Butcher, have you lost your mind?
It’s all over the station.
You tried to frame Dexter.
You know that’s not true.
Do I?
Jesus f’ing Christ, you’re The Bay Harbor Butcher.
I really hate that name.
I always knew there was something with you.
But this shit?
What can I say, you were right about me.
You wanna make a change Morgan, now’s the time.
All you gotta do is let me out of here.
It’s over man.
It is over when I say it is!
What if Doakes was onto him?
Jesus, what if Dexter is the real Bay Harbor Butcher?
What if he isn’t?
End it now.
Take responsibility for who you are, man.
We’ll go to the station together, I’ll help you.
We found definitive proof in that boathouse that Doakes was the Bay Harbor Butcher, and
that despite me advising you to cease and desist, you continued on this reckless course.
Then we discovered the link.
They had all committed crimes they had gotten away with.
The Bay Harbor Butcher could still be out there, still feeling all butchery.
Are you The Bay Harbor Butcher?
This isn’t the place to talk about this.
Deb?
He did this.
He’s The Bay Harbor Butcher.
He has to be.
You’re a good cop.
You’re a good person.
You’re not like him.
Put him down!
Dex?
Next to his own severed head, a head that at this time has no name.
I know his name.
Is there any progress on putting up that stop sign over by Lewis’s package store?
That’s an accident waiting to happen.
Surprise, Motherf**ker!
