Rebecca is thankful for an extension on a school paper and for the nice home. Jonah is thankful for the home and for God. Watch the show. He yells that she is not Vera, nor is she a prisoner or still eight years old.
Jonah grabs a Four Walls One Heart plaque and shatters a mirror with it. Infuriated, Arthur lunges toward Jonah. Rebecca interferes, but her father tosses her across the room. Arthur attacks Jonah, pushes him down in a chair, and tightens his hands around his neck. Sally and Rebecca fearfully hold on to each other. There, he slams the door and grabs a large knife.
They throw themselves at Arthur and they embrace each other. Arthur appears to be terrified and Dexter quickly walks out, past a stunned Jonah. He then follows Arthur to a parking garage and begins to watch him. When Arthur begins to stalk them, Dexter assumes the young woman is his target.
At one point, the little boy goes off alone to play a game, and Arthur uses the info from the car decals to con him. He approaches the boy, calls him by his name, flashes a badge, and lies that his parents have been in a car accident. He insists that Scott go with him to the hospital, assuring him that his sister is already in the patrol car.
Scott believes Arthur and accompanies him to the parking garage. However, when Scott sees the van, he realizes that Arthur is lying, but it's too late. Arthur chloroforms him and shoves him into his van. Dexter tries to unsuccessfully stop the kidnapping but Arthur squeals out of the garage. Dexter runs back to his car and receives a phone call. Dexter, though, thinks the boy will die. He has never known Arthur to take a child before and wonders if this is something new.
Dexter finds Jonah home alone and he learns that Arthur is on a trip for a couple of days. Just then, Sally and Rebecca arrive home and Dexter disappears. Scott wakes up in an underground bomb shelter furnished with bunk beds, a table, and shelves. Arthur is setting up a toy train railroad on the floor. When he finishes, Arthur watches it with childish glee, making sound effects as it loops around the track. Terrified, Scott retreats into the bottom bunk.
He searches online for missing boys and discovers that five days before a bathtub murder, a ten-year-old boy always disappeared. Now he realizes that Arthur leaves behind four victims, not three. In the fallout shelter, Arthur is still playing with the toy train.
Scott is hungry, but Arthur wants him to put on a pair of cowboy pajamas. Scott, though, refuses to comply. Father drinks and mother pays the price. He concludes that the Four Walls build site is a perfect place to bury a kid, and it may be where Scott is being held captive. Donned in his kill outfit, Dexter is pacing through a house under construction, but finds nothing. He finds school stuff, Bible stuff, a hardware store, a real estate agency, and the local paper. Ominously, Arthur is loading bags of cement mix into the back of his van.
Unexpectedly, Christine calls and insists that she really needs to see him. Arthur brushes her off, saying they only meet twice a year because he has a full life, and his family needs him.
I need you. More than they do. Arthur re-enters the bomb shelter carrying a tray of burgers, fries, and sodas. He kicks the dust off his shoes and sits down. Scott asks if he can go home. He tells a very hungry Scott that he can eat after he puts on his pajamas.
In the fallout shelter, the model train is still looping around its miniature track. In frustration, Scott kicks the train off the track. As Arthur softly sings along, he begins to cry.
Scott offers to play with the trains a little longer, adding that Arthur can take him home afterward. So innocent. Then Arthur takes a small plastic cup of vanilla ice cream from a freezer, and secretly mixes in a capsule of white powder.
Scott smiles and begins to eat the ice cream. In the backyard of an empty house, Dexter discovers an old, underground bomb shelter. The model train is still set up on the floor and the record player is also there. Dexter notices the empty ice cream cup and is annoyed that he just missed them. In a parking garage, Arthur is meeting with his eldest daughter, Christine. For years, she thought it was a dream until it happened again in the same house thirty years later.
Arthur tries to convince her that it was a dream but Christine pulls out postcards he had sent her from places where a woman was murdered in a bathtub. She then tells Arthur that she protected him by murdering Frank Lundy because he was getting too close. After she saw them bump into each other at the plaza, she shot Lundy and made it look like the Vacation Murderers. He kisses her on the forehead, hugs her, and tells her to go home.
Still in the bomb shelter, Dexter notices the dust on the floor where Arthur kicked it off his shoes. He drips a little water on the spot and it turns into wet cement. He realizes that Arthur encases the boys to preserve their innocence and rushes back to the Four Walls site. Arthur forbids him to come any closer and insists that he needs to do this. As the bag sinks, the two men begin to battle.
Dexter quickly pulls Scott out of the cement, finding him unconscious, but alive. Arthur, though, has escaped. They have arrived to take her to the police station. Christine insists her mother became accidentally pregnant, and she never met her father. To have time to kill Arthur, Dexter decides to frame someone else. Turning his attention to the TV, he watches a news report about Scott Smith who is now safely back at home. This is clearly a lie as he then takes out a Greater Miami phone book.
Arthur is breaking into a house when the owner returns. Outraged, the young man assumes Arthur is a robber. When the man threatens to call the cops, Arthur glares at him. Later, Dexter works the crime scene where the young man is lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with a swollen eye. He realizes that Arthur is in Miami and looking for him. Angel and Debra search Christine's apartment where they find packets of postcards under her bed.
When another Kyle Butler answers his door, Dexter jabs him in the neck with a syringe of M He drags Kyle into the apartment and waits for Arthur to arrive. When he spots Arthur through the window, he stands against the wall, holding his syringe. The door swings open and Arthur is silhouetted in the frame. Dexter realizes what warned Arthur away when he sees Christmas card photos of Kyle and his dog placed by the door.
Angel shows Christine the postcards they found in her apartment and she claims to have never seen them before. Curious as to why Christine has failed to answer her phone, Arthur swings by her apartment. When he sees the police tape on her door, he walks on by. Afterward, she, Angel, and Quinn decide to let Christine go, in the hope that she will lead them straight to Trinity. Dexter heads out to kill Stan Beaudry and set him up as Trinity. Dexter again demands fifty thousand and Arthur says he needs one more day.
Christine says she loves him, but he remains silent. They bicker over a drop location and settle on a marina entrance. Dexter recognizes the music in the background and realizes that Arthur is at the arcade where he abducted Scott Smith. He thinks Arthur is stalking another little boy, and takes off to catch him in the act. After a call from Christine, Debra and Quinn rush to her apartment, believing that she wishes to confess.
For a few minutes, Christine talks about how futile it was to try and make her father love her. She finally confesses to shooting Debra and Lundy, and asks if Debra can forgive her. Suddenly, Christine pulls out a gun from under a sofa cushion, places it under her chin, and pulls the trigger. Quinn hears the shot and races upstairs to find Christine in a pool of blood with the gun still in her hand. Debra is distraught.
Dexter is at the arcade searching for Arthur, but unable to find him. A distressed Debra calls Dexter, saying she needs to see him. To be a good brother, Dexter heads back to the station, unaware that Arthur is following him. From the police parking lot, Arthur watches Dexter enter the station. Arthur glances around and enters the room with the Trinity whiteboards. To his horror, Dexter notices him through the glass -- and Arthur notices him.
They walk toward each other, staring the whole way. Somewhere inside, an inner voice pokes at him, reminding him of his calling. While Dexter may have decided toward the end of his run as a killer that he no longer needs the Code, that doesn't mean his demons have left.
The Trinity Killer took Dexter's wife away, scarring Dexter more deeply than any blade could mark human flesh. It's not much of a stretch to think that the Dark Passenger could return, but this time, what if it bears a new face?
A simple reminder of who Dexter is and what he's capable of wouldn't take much dialogue — Lithgow probably doesn't need more than a day on set to deliver an emotionally compelling exchange with Dexter.
Their scene s could be the catalyst that causes Dexter to return to his murderous life, or it might be a final catharsis for the former forensics master. Although The Trinity Killer is back, that doesn't mean Dexter will snap and murder the first person he thinks deserves it.
Let's be honest, though: What is "Dexter" without a high body count? In , a year after the finale, he discussed the reaction with The Daily Beast. He said: "I thought it was narratively satisfying—but it was not so savory. Just inherently because of how long we'd done it, because of the storytelling capital we'd spent, because our writers may have been gassed," Hall said. Showtime has yet to announce an official return date for Hall and Dexter but it is expected to premiere in fall Read more.
Newsweek magazine delivered to your door Unlimited access to Newsweek. Unlimited access to Newsweek. Arthur tells Dexter he prayed to be changed and stop being a monster, saying it worked because Dexter caught and will kill him.
Fake my own death and start over again? The irony is that this is exactly what Dexter does in the season 8 finale. After sending Harrison and Hannah away and faking his own death by heading into a storm at sea, Dexter adopts a new identity , first in Oregon, and later in upstate New York.
