Jennifer Carpenter plays Debra and Michael C. Hall is Dexter in Showtime’s serial-killer drama.
Sunday night's season seven opener of “Dexter” could be renamed “Deborah.” Either way, it’s a killer.
Season six ended last December with the moment fans always knew would arrive someday.
Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), who is a cop, learns her adopted brother, Dexter (Michael C. Hall), with whom she has been falling in romantic love, is a serial killer.
Not news to us. Big news to Deb, and not something she gets a lot of time to digest.
Since she catches him in the act, she sees only two options, neither of which she likes.
If she turns him in, he will go to prison forever, taking away her only family and her best friend.
If she doesn’t, she betrays her life’s work. Covering up serial killing is considered bad form for police officers and even in Miami it’s probably illegal.
She doesn’t cuff and book him immediately — which is less a spoiler than just common sense. “Dexter” is set to run two more seasons, including this one, and if Dex goes up the river, the show really will need to be retitled “Deb.”
Still, Deb’s discovery changes the game forever, and not just for her. The effect of Deb discovering his secret has been Dexter’s greatest fear. If anything could change him, this would be it.
He has always declared, however, that he is what he is. His late father Harry (James Remar) drops in several times Sunday night to reaffirm that conclusion.
Some “Dexter” fans have thought the show meandered around for the last couple of seasons as if it were waiting for something to happen.
Now it has. And so we all face an equally ultimate and inevitable question: Just how badly will this all end?
