Finally, an episode that delivers the kind of creepy psycho edgy suspense that this show is known for! I was really starting to feel down about this season, but if this is all a setup for getting Deb to learn the truth and have it seem plausible that she wouldn't turn in Dexter immediately, then it's worth it, because I think they're on the verge of pulling that tricky plot-twist off. I used to wonder whether it was even possible.
I think this is the first time Lumen really seemed scary. Maybe it's realistic that a previously normal person wouldn't jump feet first into psycho-hood from the first.
However, I gotta wonder whether it's going to make sense in the end that Jordan would give the cops a witness against him, even as part of a nefarious plot. When Dexter and Lumen are neutralized by Miami PD, won't Jordan's ass still be in a sling? Is he just crazy and overconfident, or does he have another trick up his sleeve.
I have this weird feeling that Lumen is gonna take the fall for Dex.
Yeah, and Dex will have to accept her sacrifice, since he's got kids to raise.
I'd like Lumen to be in prison and not dead at the end of the season, leaving open a hope for an eventual reunion with Dex. Dang, they might have more than just one more season in this story.
Maybe this show will turn into Crash (not the Don Cheadle racism movie, the James Spader "car crashes make me horny" movie) where in order to ignite the passion, Lumen and Dexter have to kill someone beforehand.
Lovely idea.
I really want them to do one season (the final one, I suppose) where Dexter just goes increasingly nuts. I thought that if Deb learns the truth, then there's only one more season possible, and there hasn't been setup for Dexter going off the rails, but now I wonder if Lumen might become a replacement for Deb's role in the story as a kind of emotional counterweight to Dexter.
We could have a season where Lumen willingly takes the heat for the murders and allows Dexter to get off the hook for the sake of the kids. Then through some legal maneuvering, she's released from prison and re-enters the story the following season. After that, anything's possible. What if Lumen and Deb both know the truth. They don't like each other!
And with Lumen in the show, it's possible for Deb to die.
