So was it Trinity after all? I think so. But I also think that the vacation murderer is still on the lose. That was too convenient for his gf to kill him. And what about Batista being transferred?

And Tinity is married with kids? Didn't see that one coming.

Very interesting.

I think this show still has it.

I thought something was funny timeline-wise about Lundy dying and Trinity getting to his third victim so soon in the season. We're not even halfway through it, right?

I didn't see the whole family man thing coming, either. Also, the scene with Deb in the parking lot makes me wonder if this is the season where Dexter reveals himself to Deb.

Nice rack on the reporter.

Each season, in the end, has Dex evolve some way in his relationship with Rita. I'm sure that by stalking Trinity, he somehow finds a way to seamlessly leave his "passenger" in hiding without a secondary apartment.

Dex would never tell Deb about his psycho-killer persona. She'd simply go insane if he did, most likely. And in regards to a previous comment, loose-cannon has always been the way to describe her character-type. She had some trauma following the Ice Truck Killer, and I'm sure this'll be swept under a rug at some point.

The Batista-LaGuarda relationship is just a time-waster. I'm sure Batista will just go I DON'T NEED TO TRANSFER IF WE BREAK UP ;-( Cue several episodes of toeing the line.

One thing that hasn't been unveiled is that the police need to be occupied with something. Like the Vacation Murderer turning out to not be the guy who got capped by his girlfriend in the previous episode. One mention in the trailer (probably out of context) is that they found two traces of DNA at "the crime scene". I assume that's going to be the Trinity Killer's scene, but that sounds sloppy.

maybe the trinity isnt sloppy.


remember he has been spreading some ashes on the ground at each crime scene. I guess they finally found it now. But, since lundy is dead, and dex took the recordings about trinity, its on him to stop trinity, the cops will never find him.

This part was shown in the season preview with trinity being a church deacon and the like. I actually thought he might be a preacher based on the preview. I wonder how he gets away with moving around so much since he has a family. Has he really changed jobs that often in the past 30 years? maybe he is with the military or civillian contractor in some way. That could explain all the cross country moves.

I dont think that he is moving around the country a lot. If you think about it, the timeline between stalking his first victim and killing his third could take somewhere around 2 weeks (a couple of days of stalking each, then 5 days for sure between 2nd and 3rd). I am betting he is taking "Business trips" to get away from his family for a couple of weeks.

Glad I finally caught up on the show. This season has been pretty good so far and I am anxious to see how it progresses with Dexter meeting Trinity.

Good episode for the most part, Rita is getting a little crazy for my taste. I'm sure Dex will 'learn' something from Trinity before the season is over, how to balance his life.

Is it a given that Trinity shot Deb and Lundy? It seems like Dex is jumping to conclusions based on what Harry is telling him. Either way he knows Trinity killed someone so he'll go after him, I'm just not 100% sold that it was Trinity.

who do you think it was? I suppose it could be another person, doubtful its anton though

I'm not saying it wasn't Trinity, that's who I thought it was after last weeks episode. I definetly don't think it was the vacation murderers, and there hasn't been any solid proof that Dexter found that it was Trinity unless I missed something. I wouldn't rule out Anton, but it would be pretty hard to believe he shot Deb.

That and there wasn't any indication that he was acting when deb told him about her and lundy's hook up...

Maybe Dexter realizes that the shooter was the REAL vacation killers. That storyline can't be done already.

given the fact that one of them is dead, and the other is in jail, i think it's winding its way down.

I think TMoney was saying that those might not have been the real vacation murderers.

ah.

gotcha.

i see your point, but i think the focal point of this season is trinity. i think the vacation killers were a side story served to, ultimately, throw the cops off of who really shot horseface and gundy.

Trinity is a bit too meticulous. It'll probably turn out that they didn't get the right vacation killer suspect lined up. Trinity would've taken the tape recorder or at least the tape inside of it. He saw Lundy talking in to it when they first crossed paths, so he would have definitely looked for it.

And the "second" set of DNA at Trinity's kill-site (assuming the preview was referring to that) is just bait to lead them astray.

That's the only reason I have any doubt that it may not have been Trinity. Also, if it was him, I'm not sure why not kill Deb.

But, I don't think many thieves just walk up and shoot people dead.

Did anyone else get a lingering vibe off Deb during the Rita/Deb/why-does-this-happen conversation?

I can see a situation where Deb questions the value of life and begins murdering. And Dexter either embraces it or "Brian's" her.

trinity is a deacon of a church? i love it

Still kinda pissed they killed off Lundy, but I understand why.

This was an enjoyable episode for me.

Hopefully Rita will STFU for a few episodes...

Good episode and answered quite a few questions.

Rita can diaf. Enjoyed the episode.

For a woman who lied about the number of her previous marriages and last hubby was druggy wife abuser, she sure cops an attitude.

On a side note, a cop dissapears (the chick cop he killed) and there's no mention of it?

I really like the Trinity angle. He is helping Dexter evolve and show real emotion. I can see the final Dexter ending with him being able to push down his "dark passenger" and live a normal life.

That was an intense scene when Dexter was holding Trinity's sister's ashes. Wow.

I'm not sure what to think about the Laguerta/Batista relationship. Is it a minor sub-plot diversion or will they got caught and kicked off the force?

And what is Deb's fascination with Harry's mistress? Is that a new major angle for the show?

Finally, I love how the show ended when Deb locks his new storage place and says "you have some dangerous things in there". The look on his face was perfect.

The fascination was there last season. She started working on it after record keeper lady died...

She seemed excited, I think she's figured out that they're actually related.

The Laquerta plot line was just a diversion. Notice how it goes back to the exact same after each one, her and angel break up... everything stays the same, she boinks the fiance of the woman that replaces her as commander... and magically... everything ends up the same in the end. Every damn season she is effing someone else on the force and nothing ever comes of it... its a stupid crutch that they need to knock off.

Angel/Laguerta thing will come back and there will be a you-know-what storm.

Also, Dexter holding Arthur's sister's ashes was an awesome scene. I heard Arthur coming back and was all "PUT THE VASE DOWN. GONNA GET CAUGHT " Turns out Dex was testing him, given his demeanor in how he turned. Awesome scene though. Starting to wonder if Arthur's whole family knows that he kills people. Note how his son, at the build, went back to work ASAP after getting a glare from his old man. It'd also explain why he's so caring and relaxed around them. Sounds far-fetched, but if the mom was the same as him (or accepting), the kids could easily have been raised to know/respect the old man's dark passenger.

Hopefully this ep also will shut Rita up for a while. You know another semi-arc will kick off regarding her, though. She won't stay quiet the rest of the season.

Also, after seeing the vacation murder thing line up, I'm thinking it actually was Anton that capped Lundy. As out of character/odd it sounds, it fits best by this point. The girl confessed to helping with the murders, but not Lundy. If she was a fanatic, she would've accepted Lundy's as well. She wasn't pressured or forced in to admitting credit for the others. Plus, the show seems really strongly angled toward Trinity having done it. Seems like a red herring. Anton vanished entirely, as well (of course there was the abrupt break-up to cover that). Trinity would've finished her. I find it odd, though, that Anton would've aimed for her abdomen, something that could've been a definite kill shot if he was off.

As much as I didn't like the idea, Anton seems like the ideal murderer by this point.

Good point. Maybe they'll revisit that at some point.

The Angel/Laguerta thing is instant snooze-fest. I tune out whenever either character is on screen.

Otherwise, good episode.

Its too bad, because Angel used to be an interesting character.

If memory serves me, didn't Dex leave clues hinting that she left the country? He bought her tickets to some ferry leaving the states one-way. Onlookers would just see it as she packed up and left following what happened to her family.

They don't usually mention anything about the people he's killed do they? A lot of them are wanted for murder and then they're gone. The entire show is hard to believe, I just take it for what it is, very entertaining but would never happen.

And I agree, Angel used to be one of the best characters, now he's boring. Maybe this story line will get rid of Laguerta somehow....

Damn, I was just about to be pissed with this last episode thinking he didn't do near as much legwork to confirm the photographer was the killer, but it looks like that was the point to be made. Nice.

The writers are actually doing some interesting stuff this season.

Good thing, since the whole overarching pursuit with several fulfillment kills interspersed formula was getting kind of tired.

HA!
At my office and just looked down on my desk to see a file folder labeled TRINITY. Had to double take before I remembered I'm working on a project for Trinity Church. Thought this season was getting the best of me for a second.

good episode- Harry with the line of the show -This is your new mentor, can't even kill a deer

Yeah, I got a little pissed at that too. So the point is, Dexter is being pulled apart in so many different directions (work, Rita, the kids, Trinity, Deb) that to satisfy his Dark Passenger he gets careless and kills an innocent person?

I don't know, I didn't get that vibe at all from that episode. He saw the assistant coming out of the studio right before he went in snooping. He never makes that kind of mistake, when there obviously can be another culprit.
