Storyline

Having rescued Travis at the church, Dexter now tries to figure out what the next tableau will be. With Travis having agreed to help him, Dexter gets him a room in a hotel to keep him safe. A clue from one of the paintings eventually leads Dexter to a Professor Casey, an avowed atheist. He tries to warn Casey about what may happen but the professor brushes him off, claiming to get threats all of the time. Unfortunately, the doomsday killer strikes again. When Travis disappears, Dexter traces him to the church. Dexter finds him alive but also makes a startling discovery. Meanwhile Batista takes Quinn to task when he fails to show up for work and apparently left his phone and gun behind in someone's car when he left the strip club. Debra decides to reopen the case of the dead call girl despite Capt. Laguerta's objections.

User Reviews

I don't know what all the fuss is about...

Referring back to the title, I really don't know why everyone was that disappointed in the twist at the end. For me, it made the entire episode, which without would have made surprisingly mundane viewing for a Dexter episode. I know there are some problems with it such as timings blah blah blah but I think it was a good idea on the writers part. I mean, Dexter see's his dad all the time doesn't he, and the writers even incorporated this idea into the Nebraska episode a few back, where we saw Dex's brother stab someone with a pitchfork. Okay, so maybe Dexter knows that these people aren't real but it still comes with the same basic idea. Also, there were a few more ends untied in this episode which I liked such as the fact the intern bought the hand and La Guerta's boss (forgot his name) was at the scene of the homicide case Deb just reopened. Hopefully it will be neatly wrapped back up again in the finale or even another twist, because previously to this episode, it's been a while since we've had a good one of those. Kudos to the writers for the great ending. The rest of the episode could have been better as I've felt it's been trailing a bit for a while now this season.
