Man it feels to to be right. Like I predicted, Dexter was kidnapped for his bachelor party and NOT by the skinner. It was great watching Dexter's reactions to all the debauchery happening around him.

This episode was great. Maybe the best in the season. To me, there were so many funny lines (or non-lines; Masuka pointing to his pubic area). Deb has begun to find out the truth about Harry and has requested more information about him and his C.I.'s. She's going to find out about Harry and Dexter's real mom. Maybe she'll even find out about Rudy being Dexter's brother. That'd be great. I wonder if when she found out, she would think she has to keep it a secret from Dexter.

I loved that Masuka was stoked because the Tammy girl he was with had issues. By his logic, that means they are compatible. I hope something comes from this relationship. Masuka could use some drama.

And what about Deb and Quinn? I really like him so I would love if them two got together. I don't know if it will really happen since they spent so much time building up Anton's character. Perhaps they're simply planting the seeds of a future love story for another season.

I like the idea of Deb being Dexter's best man. It's not going to help Deb's image, but its a sweet notion on Dexter's part.

Miguel's last moments were amazing! I felt like a dork because I literally said, "Yes!!!!!!" when Dexter told Miguel he killed his brother. The way he said it was so perfect.

The Skinner is still out there though. Something's gonna happen between him and Dex. He probably won't take to kindly Dexter pinning Miguel's murder on him.

It saddens me that after next week, we have to wait another 9 months till another Dexter. This season went by too fast. I wish there were more. It's definitely better than season two.

"True friends know when to bury the hatchet," a timely quote from Migel to say the least. I loved the surprise twist at the beginning, was not expecting that one. (Loved the batchelor party scene too) wont spoil the party for the viewers on the west coast, but another great job in building the tension to the season finale. Hard to believe there is only one show left in this seaon. Darn it.
