Brilliant! That’s all I can say. The writers came up with just the right amount of shock twists to satisfy all of us Dexter fans.
Poor Doakes, though. I really wanted him to survive (like he does in the books that the series is based on). But alas, he is no more thanks to evil Lila who went on the rampage (hence the title of this week’s episode).
First, she turned Doakes into a human fireball (thus bringing the Bay Harbour Butcher case to a neat conclusion), then tried cremating Dexter and Rita’s kids when she realized she was about to be shafted by our favourite serial killer. But the Dark Defender had his day. He saved little Astor and Cody from the flames, and slienced Lila once and for all after she fled to Paris. Phew!
Favourite scene of the night was Dexter getting ready for work, which gave new meaning to the opening credits.
