I couldn't disagree more with the reviewer comparing Camilla to a "whining dying lady" and writing Dexter is "not about a fat woman crying every week". First she has cancer and all people suffering in the world deserve respect. Second she was like the mother Dexter never had. And last but not least, her swan song was very important to hear. So I'm glad this episode was a special Camilla. Thanks to her euthanasia was covered. It was very interesting because I don't know about America but in France the subject is highly controversial and even a law, the Vincent Humbert one, was signed by 300 000 people ! The episode was also a bit religious as Dex learned more about mercy, when he thought he already knew all about it. I also found interesting that Camilla knew more about his brother than she told him when health wasn't an issue. And what Dex told her before she died was just priceless. So I'm sad Camilla is gone now even if she was playing a minor role. May her fictional soul rest in peace.
Next, Albert Chung. This episode made me realize how funny Vince can be. All his Asian jokes were good and I think it's the funniest Dexter episode so far. The socks, the news coverage, the photo on the newspaper. The new "vilain of the week" was so smoothly introduced and his impact on the season so important. All the characters were revolving around him. First Ellen Wolf morality was questioned. The meeting between her and Miguel was entertaining and for once we weren't the only one watching, Dex was too as he was smiling in the background thinking they were like sharks fighting in a fish tank. Second Miguel used Chung as an excuse to place Ellen on Dex slice list. By the way I can't wait to see what will happen to Miguel now Ellen and Maria have teamed up. After hesitating he refused because she's just doing her job. But instead of weakening their friendship, it made it stronger and now Dex and Miguel are true friends. It was interesting to hear Miguel saying Dex did the hard thing, saying no.
Last but not least, Deb and the Skinner case. Jennifer Carpenter is such a talented actress ! The scene where she reveals her lead to Batista and Quinn was mesmerizing and so funny. The crazy camera angles, the café overdose, the papers all around the floor, her acting Moreover it made the whole Quinn arc even more mysterious because I still can't picture his role this season. And what about Yuki showing up all the time from nowhere ? Sometimes I even wonder about Batista's new girl friend. Anton also had a very important role and I can't wait to see what happens in the upcoming episodes. There're so many characters involved ! It's a bit like if Deb was trying to figure out the puzzles the Skinner made up for her, of course I'm referring to her past bad experiences.
So I'm glad Dexter is right back on track because I was quite disappointed by all the butchery that happened in the previous episodes. I really liked All in the Family but Turning Biminese and Sì Se Puede were too much for me to handle. For me Dexter is not about a serial killer slicing bad people into pieces, it's about a broken human being trying to reconnect emotionally with the world. Rita, the kids, the upcoming baby, his work pals and new best friend Miguel, his lovely swearing sister I want him to get better because if someone like Dex can be fixed, then it means there's hope and impossible things can be accomplished.
