The twist in this season is coming very late. But if I told you what it was at the beginning of this review, then there wouldn't be any fun in reading this. The date for the Morgan-Bennet nuptials are fast approaching. Masuka is planning the bachelor party, the food is being catered, and Deb is figuring out if she's a +1 for the wedding. Which, duh, she should be, because Anton is not only incredibly attractive, but also isn't creepily older than her, and isn't a serial killer. Anton should stick around, he's good for Deb - even if her relationship with him could hurt her chances of getting her Detective shield. Even she knows that he's good for her, but, she's a career lady, so she's pushing him away as much as she can.

It’s time to take the next step. Dexter and Miguel have been growing closer together in the Bromance department, but it seems that Miguel has become unsatisfied with where their relationship is right now. So he makes a proposition for Dexter. Miguel doesn’t want to play second fiddle, he wants to actually do the deed himself.

Dexter’s growing relationship with Miguel is continuing to push some boundaries, and possibly taking Dexter into an area more black than grey. It’s clear from the onset that Dexter is toying with the idea of letting Miguel more into his life. Harry is starting to be replaced by Miguel in all the daydreams, and the turnout is always positive – affirming that what Dexter is doing is something good.

Oh, have the marital problems already begun? I’m guessing it’s just a knee-jerk reaction that every man has when he encounters an unplanned pregnancy and a shot-gun proposal. The end of bachelorhood. In Dexter’s case, the end of playtime with his Dark Passenger.

Dexter Morgan, Family Man. Hmm, ok . . . I could potentially see where this is going. Dexter Morgan, Married Family Man. Ok –HOLD. UP. Dexter, being a sociopath and all, doesn’t really pick up social cues. After a completely botched attempt to announce the new baby to Astor and Cody, the oldest of the Bennett children points out that the two adults are not married. So Dexter, thinking that this family man – married family man thing could work out well to keep his cover (it sounds much better than “lives-alone-keeps-to-himself”) so he asks Rita to marry him. I kid you not, he really does.

Dexter is experimenting with adulthood. Although he hasn’t technically committed to raising the baby along with Rita, he’s still involved in her life. Personally, I think this is a pretty big deal, and probably says a lot about Rita – she’s still with a man whose child she is carrying, but who is, up until now, unwilling to fully commit to her. I can’t quite put my finger on what this says about Rita. Any ideas? So even though their relationship is in an awkward state of limbo, Dexter and Rita, along with the kids, engage in some grocery shopping.

Right now, Dexter isn’t sure how he feels about kids. Sure he likes them, and likes playing with them - but is he ready to deal with the idea of being responsible for one? Well, he’s going to have to deal with it, because Rita has exited the doctor’s office and confirmed that she really is pregnant.

Dexter - Recap & Review - Our Father

“Our Father”

Life is good for our beloved hero (or serial killer, really, take your pick). Last we left off Dexter Morgan, he had almost framed a man for his crimes, found out that his father committed suicide because of him, and killed a woman who proved to him that he could go onto bigger and better things. We are now prepared to enter, perhaps into the first stages of Dexter Morgan – the adult. He’s taken The Code of Harry, and made it his own, sure he’s still killing people, but this time around he’s in control of his own emotions, and actually his own life.
