Well, Lumen got the happy ending that I so wanted for her. The look of relief on her face, riding the boat into the moon lit sky said it all. She was finally free. Free to start her life over. But this is Dexter afterall, so I couldn't really enjoy the moment like she was clearly enjoying it because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sure enough, the next morning, Lumen had to end her relationship and move on. It was inevitable because she couldn't start fresh if she had a constant reminder of what she did and what happened to her. With Dexter around, she would always be forced to relive it.

There was one scene in particular that had me  p i s s i n g  in my pants because I thought this was the moment of truth where Deb finally discovers Dexter's secret. When she stumbled upon Jordan Chase's body and "saw" the two people behind the plastic sheet separating her from them, I was sure that Dexter would step out and reveal himself. But Deb being Deb, empathized with #13 (Lumen) and lets her and her boyfriend (Dexter) walk without ever seeing either one's face. So, this grand reveal will have to wait another season.

Now about Quinn. I kinda knew that he would be saved at the 11th hour by the hands of Dexter and that he would contaminate the blood on Quinn's shoes so that it would tie him to Liddy's murder and I'm glad. As annoying as Quinn can be sometimes, he does bring a lot to the team and if he were to leave, it would kind of mess up the dynamic of the department. Really cool to see Cody and Astor back and it looks like they will be living with Dexter once again...at least for the Summer anyway.
