"I think season 4 is too early for someone to find out about Dexter's secret, except possibly for Deb.

I mean - Lundy's job it to catch killers - it's hardly likely that he'd find out that Dexter was a killer and then do nothing with that information. If that happened, and Dexter found out that Lundy knew, I think he'd have to kill him. Or get Simmons to kill him - I don't know.

The other possibility is that someone (probably Lundy) witnesses Dexter abduct someone or stalk someone, and starts to get suspicious, but doesn't yet have enough evidence on which to arrest him. Season 5 could then be about finding that evidence (without Dexter knowing that he is being watched)."

"I still don't know where you're getting this idea from.

I've watched season 2 like six times, and I don't even recall Lundy mentioning Dexter much. I think he talked about Dexter with Deb maybe twice - once when she was complaining about Lila and the other time when she was saying how Dexter was the golden child and not her.

Lundy also only really had two major conversations with Dexter - one in the field morgue and one when he interviewed Dexter about his cases.

Lundy COULD have become suspicious of Dexter based on his poor performance in the interview - Dexter worried that Lundy would start to suspect him as a result - but he didn't.

If Lundy had been suspicious, he's too good a detective to do nothing with that suspicion. He'd have been asking Deb more questions about Dexter's background, his adoption, what he was like growing up - but not in the way to make her suspicious as to why he was asking. After all, we know that the team made sure that they found the same information about Doakes' background before identifying him as a suspect.

I will agree that Lundy may not have been completely convinced that Doakes was their man, and maybe still isn't 100% convinced, but I don't think he ever specifically raised Dexter as an alternative suspect. "

""I just read the episode 12 transcrpt again""

"From Television Without Pity. They're recaps actually - but they're so detailed they're almost transcripts.

Here's the one for Season 2 Episode 12:

"I would like to see at least half a season of Dexter in prison,see how he survives,look at his alliances,he could get out on a technicality with no police job to investigate killers, how will he feed his craving how would he be as a broken man, i dont think he can be martyred as a hero in the end he has got to be showen as a cold blooded killer for final message.Only way we could accept it when hes finally taken down."

"I think that would be cool too - just so long as it doesn't turn people off like the prison storyline did in My Name is Earl (I wish that show hadn't got axed - boooo!)

Maybe he could get arrested for something non serial-killer related, or maybe even wrongly convicted, so Rita and Deb would still be sympathetic to him and people wouldn't know his full secret?

Just imagine him in prison though. A whole smorgasbord of potential targets all lined up, and the knowledge that a lot of prison kills never get proven. I don't think he'd be able to help himself.

Going to prison for something unrelated might also affect what ultimately happens to Dexter. He might decide that life in prison (at best) or 10 years on death row isn't worth it, and he'd rather let himself be killed rather than face that. Alternatively, he could really enjoy having access to all those victims and think it was some kind of picnic, and no longer worry about getting caught."

"Sure - but only if you get caught - and prisoner code says you don't 'rat' on fellow inmates. Ever watched Oz?

The inmate code of silence combined with Dexter's efficient kill methods - he could have an absolute field day. And there'd be many potential suspects other than him.
