You wanted it -- you got it!
Rita having an affair? Is it bad that my first thought was -- good, maybe she'll leave Dexter and be out of our lives, finally? I also like how Masuka's feelings looked genuinely hurt with seeing Rita and their neighbor sharing a kiss. I wonder if he's got something in his past -- not necessarily him, per se -- but maybe a parent leaving the other for someone else and that he bore witness to it. It wouldn't entirely far-fetched. After all, using his perversion and twisted thoughts (that just make him one of the most delicious characters ever!) as a defense mechanism may have him just fearful of intimacy.
Dexter (as Kyle) shows his true colors to Arthur "Trinity" Mitchell. However, we see Trinity's real colors with his family. Wifey Sally is in denial and beaten both physically and mentally. Sonny boy Jonah is also a little bowl brimming with anger and little girl Becca is well on her way to joining the local house of ill repute. Not much on television makes me scream or talk out loud but throwing the urn of Vera's ashes at the wall made me gasp and think, oh Jonah done did it now.
Of course, I like how "Kyle" thought he could just get away with stabbing Arthur with his family in the next room and just be done with it. He wants this kills so bad, he's willing to do it with unconventional means. Dexter, please -- take a step back. Everyone now knows you want to kill this guy. You have to find a way to get him on the table and find a way to not suspect you first. It's bad enough you killed that photographer guy who was just a douche, not a killer.
Now the part that shocked the hell out of me was that reporter chick Christine Hill. As soon as they figured out that Deb's shooter was not over 6 foot tall, I immediately thought of her. I mean, judging by the history of this show, they introduce people for a reason and if someone is killing, we most likely have met them already.
I knew she was a bit unstable. The way she used Quinn for information. I knew she would stop at nothing to get the good story. However, just how far would she go?
Then started to get all "label-y" with him, and you saw he was starting to get beat down with stopping by for Thanksgiving. You could see that he was starting to get a little attached to her. Speaking from a female point of view, and you like a guy, how many times do you make dinner to show you care? It seemed to me she wanted the semblance of a relationship but at the same time, had the ability to get all psycho stalkery on him.
Then I thought...if she shot Lundy, clearly there was more to it than just getting a story. There was something personal there. My first thought was she probably had an affair with him when he was in Miami at one point and didn't like to compete with Deb. You know, woman scorned, etc etc.
But then when we see Trinity at her door in that last scene, again, I gasped out loud! Who saw that one coming? But now it makes sense. Whether she is the product of Arthur and his wife now, I don't know. If she was raised by him, clearly she has the prototypical Daddy issues and is a lot like the younger daughter Rebecca in that she not only thrives on male attention, she throws her sexuality out there to get what she wants.
Maybe she did have a relationship with Lundy...then again, Deb said the look on his face didn't indicate there was something to be concerned about prior to the shooting. However, it's clear to me she is using the Trinity Killer as a way to promote her own self-interests, but at the same time still doing anything to protect her daddy, even killing.
Wow. Just when I thought Dexter was already the best show on television, they continually prove it by making me see something I NEVER EVER expected!!!
Three more weeks left.
