At least the LaGuerta story line is picking up, thanks to the return of Captain Matthews, whose retirement hobby seems to be coming up with devastating one-liners for LaGuerta Friar’s Club roast (she is rather Godzillaesque, isn’t she?). Isaak was destined to die, but he deserved a better, bolder sendoff.Īs for the Miami Metro gang, Quinn’s story line takes an unfortunate turn when he learns one of the perks of George’s job is sleeping with the staff whenever he’s in the mood. Yes, he and Dexter had a strange kinship, but their swift shift from adversaries to BFFs didn’t work for me. His horrible aim allows us to hear more relationship advice from Isaak, who acts less like a stone-cold killer and more like Tim Robbins as he nears his end. Then George shows up, fires a round in Isaak’s gut, and scampers away. So how do they go out? Like suckas: Dexter stabs one at a gun range (in broad daylight) and Isaak ruins a perfectly good knife fight by shooting the other (again, daylight). His two would-be hitmen are so fearsome that this badass is quaking in his bespoke suit. If that’s true, it’s an unsatisfying end to one of this season’s emotional high points.Īnother bummer is Isaak’s demise. Like, the way I love M&Ms even though I shouldn’t.īut Deb’s line to Hannah in the hospital about “doing things for herself” seems to signal the resolution of this story line, as if she’s somehow moved past all of her messy romantic feelings. “We endure”? That’s all we get after Deb tells her brother she like-likes him? Points awarded for this pitch-perfect bit of awkwardness as Dexter tries to relate:ĭexter: It’s logical. During their heart-to-heart at the first arson scene, Dexter sounds like he prepped by watching Dr. As agonizing as their chat on the porch was last week, the aftermath felt a little too tidy. I’d trade the answer to that question for more awkward emo-talk between Deb and Dexter, which is partly where this episode fell flat. Still, neither Hannah’s fear of water nor her kidnapping is enough to keep these two crazy kids apart, thanks to some awkward FaceTime chats and this touching exchange:ĪBut who’s “Bobby,” the name scrawled on the elevator door? ![]() In the “not-so-shocking revelations” category, it turns out Hannah has daddy issues, dating back to when hers threw her in a lake before she could swim. It’s surprising to see Hannah on the Slice of Life boat tour - for Dexter, that’s like bringing her home to meet his parents. That’s not to say there weren’t some major developments, beginning with the cutest darn couple of wackjobs on television since Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. But in a season that’s reminded us how good this series can still be, last night was a letdown. Granted, following the sublime “Argentina” was a tough task. By the time the credits rolled, I wondered what Dex would have to say about my disappointment. Not that he’d know from experience, of course - when it comes to feelings, he speaks with the curious detachment of a sociologist from another universe. “There are no two stronger human emotions than fear and love,” says Dexter at the start of last night’s episode. ![]()
