Dexter and the Trinity Aftermath

There is some speculation Rita really isn't dead. Although the scene in the bathroom might have looked a bit dream-like, there was the whole coming into the house, the purse, Harrison's crying and so on.

So, what about Trinity? He came to the station, at least one person, Batista, saw him, probably many others can ID him as the killer now they know who he is. Perhaps they saw him shake Dexter's hand, look at his badge. So, the questions begin.

Why would Trinity come to the station, why target Rita and Dexter? Rita was not consistent with his cycle as she was not a single woman and his killing of a 10 year old was interrupted and not complete. Arthur's family know Dexter as Kyle Butler which will be very hard to explain if they ever see him and make the connection. Why would Dexter be hanging around with Arthur? Then not being able to find Arthur and with Deb's new knowledge about Dexter's history.

Dexter might be able to construct a plausible reason for meeting and hanging out with Arthur but why hide in the Kyle Butler persona. If he knew something why not go to his colleagues? Then there was the issue of him being there so quickly and the family seeing him there because he was looking for Arthur. Very complicated.

Rita's death was a shock to me. While she was not supposed to be there and Trinity just happened on her when she came back from the Key's to get something (I don't remember what) Dexter still brought that trouble into his family. He already thinks he muffed the whole Trinity thing. More people died and so on. Now he could see himself as responsible for Rita's death.

Very complicated.

"I agree season 5 is going to be messy for Dexter, not even considering whatever emotional damage he has from losing Rita.

Arthur's family would definitely mention "Kyle" to the FBI, in fact they would probably ask about him and assume he was picked up in the house when it was raided. Sure, a Kyle Butler was killed, but either homicide or the FBI will determine that Kyle was killed prior to Dexter visiting the family and/or the family will see Kyle's photo and say that's not the same guy.

And I agree that too many people saw Dexter and Trinity together to not question Dexter about him. Rita's death just makes him look that much more suspicious. Even if he comes up with a plausible explanation for his relationship with Trinity's family, the cops he works with MUST have "gut" feelings about his suspicious behavior by now.

Dexter drove me crazy in season 4 with all the risks he was taking. I kept wanting him to just stop lying to Rita so much and quit leaving his family every single day and night to go out killing people. He broke the code all over the place with Trinity. Remember how careful he was in season one?

Rita's death FLOORED me. I had not heard all the hype about a dramatic season finale, and I was blown away. It actually was very sad. In my opinion, Rita represented the average viewer more than anyone else on the show- flawed, kind, and loved Dexter. And she wasn't a cop. So now the writers have severed that bond we had with Dexter (by killing our representative on the show). It will be interesting to see if they can get us back. Through whose eyes will we love Dexter now?"

The last scene of the last episode of season 4 was a mindblower to many fans. Some were sad or upset over Rita's death, and some were happy to see her go. Dexter learned that he cannot live a normal life, and will have to try another way. We will see his crumbling mental state as he tries to rebuild his life. Will he be a suspect in Rita's death, even for a short while? What will become of his children,specifically Harrison? The creaters and writers of season 5, have much to deal with. Too bad we have to wait so long for the new season to begin!

Small-time season 4 predictions (page: 1 2 3 4 5)

I just started re-watching season one despite the fact that I have much more important things to do. Here are a few smaller, less important, predictions I've made for season four:

1. Dexter will suddenly have an iPhone. This show is not immune to product placement and we've already got Dexter driving Ford vehicles and using a Mac laptop at home (despite the fact that seems very non-Dexter. Why would he spend SO MUCH more money for a computer when a cheaper pc would do everything he needs?). Since the new Dexter game is for the iPhone, I imagine Dexter will mysteriously have purchased an iPhone as a gift to himself before his child comes into the world.

2. Maybe Dexter will wear some Marc Ecko clothes. I think this is less likely, but Ecko is making the aforementioned Dexter game, so don't be surprised.

Kind of dumb, I know, but I'm sort of just thinking out loud here. Anybody else have any kind of small-time predictions?
