Amazing episode. I agree that Speltzer made it extremely easy for Deb to make the first step towards accepting Dexter, but I don't think that Trinity of all people would make it harder. He might have been an exemplary citizen, but he killed Rita and was responsible for Lundy's death too. Trinity was way more personal than some sick guy killing strangers.
I love this show for not walking away from important issues, like Rita and Harrison. Deb is amazing. And it's great to see how much Dexter cares about their relationship.
Hannah is still creepy. She will end up on the table, I'm sure of it. Isaak works for me as a villain. I have no idea where this whole Russian mob thing will go from now, but it scares the shit out of me.

I thought Victor was his son, based on that picture.

Great season, this is the first season i have actually watched each episode as they came out instead of waiting until the end to marathon.

Speltzer's wearing of a bull mask and his stalking of victims in a maze references a mythic Greek creature, the Minotaur, half-man, half-bull, kept in an elabarote Labyrinth on Crete. As tribute to Crete, every year Athenian youths and maidens would be sent into the Labyrinth and guess who would go after them.... so our latest villain to be despatched by Dexter chose an appropriate model to mirror his own monstruous nature.... half-human, half-"beast." Interesting that when Deb asked Dexter what her gladness at Speltzer's death made her, Dex replied, "you're human." Is Dex himself, with his Dark Passanger, something like the Minotaur? What does it mean to be human? Do we all have a Dark Passanger?

Then again, maybe Victor is Isaac's son and they hid the relationship in order to present no weaknesses to their enemies. Either way, it's very personal.

I agree with . The picture was hidden. I immediately thought lover too. The reviewer is right, Speltzer was tailor made for getting Deb on board. He could not be more evil if he tried. I guess that is why Dexter chose him. He was an easy sell. I think the revelation that Victor wasn't just another employee to Isaac has just given the whole mob mess a needed edge. It's now personal and people have to die for it to end. Quinn is just a disaster, I can't believe his partner supports his decision to date someone that is a part of their investigation into the murder of one of their own. Hopefully, it will end up being worthwhile in terms of information.

I also thought that Victor was his son or some relative. I didnt make the leap to lover, but it will be interesting to see what their relationship actually was...

Unless I'm mistaken the picture was hidden behind another picture. That leads one to believe they were lovers.

umm, how did you get "lover" out of that picture with isaak and victor?
couldn't they be related somehow? father/son or uncle/nephew?
Dexter : Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry if for you - always. I'll keep it with mine,

jumping straight to lovers seems kind of odd.
