For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it's an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur's psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests. Batista gets closure on an old case, while Debra uses the holiday to continue her investigation of the Trinity Killer, a pursuit which threatens her brother's safety and brings to light surprising revelations about someone else close to her.

i love dexter

we find in the previous episodes that Dexter's character foil isn't who Dexter makes him out to be. trinity is not the family man we see but actually an abusive parent making his picture perfect family into reality. Though his kids don't seem to think so. This episode can reflect onto any parent with a picture perfect family so they can realize that everything isn't what it seems. That their daughter might be miserable from a harsh break up or that his son doesn't want to be involved in sports he was forced to in the first place.

this episode was scary fun though i think the laguerta and i forget his name homicide detective's side story is boring. and I've been noticing that every episode's ending gives a juicy cliffhanger. i like that unlike season 3. season 3 was really bad in my opinion
