Not a whole lot happened here. The entire episode was basically Dexter trying to remember where he had hidden the body from previous episode. After his car accident and trip to the hospital, it became a race to find the body before someone else stumbled across it. Something looks to be brewing between Dex and Quinn, especially after Dex caught him red handed stealing money from a crime scene. Everyone raves that Season 4 is the best. So far the episodes haven't wowed me like I was expecting. Then again, I probably am spoiled after last season.

Really good episode with one hell of a cliffhanger. I called it. I just didn't think it would happen so soon into the new season. I had it pegged for a the season finale. When Lundy and Deb walk out to the parking lot and kiss, I could feel the dread in the air, a sense of foreboding doom. So, it was no shock to me that Lundy gets shot. What was shocking was that Deb also gets dropped by the gunmen. We don't see who fired the shots, but it's pretty clear that it's the Trinity Killer. Well, Deb is most likely alive, but I can't say the same about Lundy. Bummer. I liked the character. Keith Carradine is/was fantastic in the role.

Also interesting was the cat and mouse game between Dexter and the Cop who murdered her own family. She was cold and heartless and had zero remorse for what she did. I thought it was pretty scary that he can read into people so well that he could predict her behavior and hide in his own house and wait for her to come to him. Freaky.

Based on the first few episodes of Season 4, I didn't think that Arthur, aka the Trinity Killer and Dexter would cross paths so soon. And I certainly didn't think that they would bond over common ground of having a family and hiding their deep dark secret. Watching their scenes together in this episode was was pretty cool. I just like seeing good actors working and playing off each other, elevating their craft to a higher level.

So now Dexter has given up his apartment and gotten his own little shack in the backyard. This has trouble written all over it. Something bad is definitely going to happen in the future for him and the family. My guess is that Arthur finds out who and what Dexter is and will break into the shack to retrieve incriminating evidence.....his hammer.

FYI, the last thing I was expecting was to see the Trinity Killer is a Preacher. It's like Footloose all over again.

It was only a matter of time before Dexter  f u c k e d  up and killed an innocent man because he was convinced he was "guilty". Although he showed some remorse at the end, I wonder how much this will affect him in the foreseeable future. Will it cloud his perception of Arthur? Will it make him think twice about killing him? And speaking of Arthur, who did he make that coffin for? He has already done his "Cycle of Three", so it's not going to be for any of those victims. Does this mean that he is on to Dexter and knows about him? Hmmm.... The deer scene was interesting in revealing something about Arthur. He can kill innocent people, but nearly comes to tears when he runs over a deer and can't bring himself to put it out of its misery. I suspect that he has multiple personalities and doesn't know one from the other.

Now Quinn had to turn into Doakes by tailing Dexter to the Nite Club. We all saw what happened to Doakes when he got close and discovered Dexter's secret. The same is gonna befall Quinn unless he gets sidetracked and moves onto something else. Not likely.

Whoooooooooooooooooooooa! Talk about the greatest Thanksgiving episode ever! That was intense and the twist at the end just absolutely floored me! When Deb finally sees that something doesn't add up regarding how Christine could have known details about her shooting, and there is a knock on Christine's door, I was expecting to see Deb there to confront her. But when she opens the door to reveal Arthur, I said to myself "he's gonna kill her for.....whatever reason". But to have her blurt out "Hi, Dad" is something I NEVER saw coming. Wow.

And that's just all the "minor" stuff for the episode. The best was Dexter having Thanksgiving dinner with Arthur's family and finding out that they are more or less prisoners in their own house. It was very revealing and when Jonah finally snaps and tells his Dad what he really thinks of him....it was awesome. This is the dinner from hell and when Dexter finally gets out of there and returns home to his own family, I felt very relieved as he did. Rita's got some 'splainin' to do now that she kissed her neighbor, Elliot. Unbeknownst to her or anyone else, Masuka saw the whole thing. It's clear that he will be the one that has to tell Dexter what is going on.

This is by far the best episode of this season. Powerhouse performances. The season is really shaping up to be an amazing one. I was premature to say otherwise based on the first couple of episodes.

When Dexter and Arthur do that slow-mo walk to where they come face to face in the Police Station, I nearly  p i s s  myself. It was like watching Rocky Balboa and Clubber Lang squaring off for the final showdown. I CANT'T WAIT to see what happens next! Arthur's got some serious balls to walk into the Station to confront Dexter like that. The entire episode was crazy good. The cat and mouse game the two were playing the entire time was thrilling. I didn't know who would get the better of the other. I don't know how Dexter isn't in a mental institution from having to juggle so many personalities, especially in this episode. A Father, Brother, Husband, Serial Killer and "Kyle". So much stuff went down in this one.

Christine is one messed up chick. I thought Deb knew that she was the one that shot her and Lundy given that they had discovered the height of the shooter earlier. But I was wrong in thinking that because it didn't make sense for Deb to walk into Christine's home without any kind of backup. I was literally thinking "this is the dumbest thing you could ever do because she is going to pull a gun on you", which is exactly what she does. She pulls the gun out and then......blows her own brains out after confessing that her father is the Trinity Killer and that she was the one that shot and killed Lundy and shot Deb.

Dexter was a busy boy, planting all that evidence to make it look like the Trucker was the Trinity Killer, all in the hopes to have that one last confrontation with Arthur. Sheesh! I was bit surprised that Rita confessed to kissing Elliot. I thought they were going to drag that arc out a bit longer and keep Masuda twisting in the wind of whether or not to tell Dexter about what he saw. Guess not. I did enjoy Dexter knocking Elliot on his ass though. There was even a moment of levity when Angel and Maria were able to stick to their boss who was trying to get them fired for having an in-office romance, by turning the situation into a positive by getting married. Haha.

One last episode. Saving the Season Finale for tonight to watch. This has been a fantastic season!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Oksy, I get why Season 4 is considered the best, because it is the best season I've seen so far. I really didn't think anything could top last season with Jimmy Smits, but boy was I ever proven wrong here. John Lithgow OWNED it here and the pacing of the entire season was exactly what it needed to be to build up the the Finale in such a grand way. And I have to tip my cap to Jennifer Carpenter, who season after season gives amazing performances that usually end up tugging the heart strings. Last, but certainly not least, Michael C. Hall was brilliant here, channeling so many different personalities and doing it with such conviction just goes to show what an amazing actor he is.

I HIGHLY recommend this as a BUY!!!! You MUST OWN THIS!!

Can't wait to get Season 5. I don't have any idea where it's gonna go from here. But my biggest concern is the inevitable letdown to follow an amazing season. I just don't want it to crash and burn because the first four seasons have been top notch all the way through.
