Yes it does. why didnt he tip-off the police with every single one of the countless murderers, like mentioned in this episode, they probably wouldve all been killed by law, instead of killing them by himself? Its his dark passenger. His "Need" to do it, the same Need that Lumen now feels. Thats why he sympathizes with her, even helps her, and who knows, even accepts her as "partner" (like mentioned in the end of e07) | ||

What's up with the preview showing Deb catching Dexter in his ritual and yet didn't have that in the last episode? Total blue-baller. what preview are you talking about? This one? + Show Spoiler + If so...i dont see anything even remotely related to "deb catching dexter in his ritual". | ||

Dexter can sympathize all he wants, it doesn't mean he should derail the investigation and help her kill them. The cops were onto them. Like he said, it would probably be just a matter of time before they were all caught. | ||

Also I don't understand why he didn't just let the cops deal with the bad guys. It doesn't matter what Lumen wants. You act like Dexter is a mentally solid, stable person. He relates to her and he believes that he can trust her. | ||

Have you even watched the whole series? | ||

Lumen is ruining the whole season IMO. But lets see what that corrupted cop and quinn can do to spicy things up. Masuka > greatest in the serie. Glad the writers finally noticed his humorous side. | ||

It was pretty funny when Dexter showed Lumen the photo of the motivational speaker and Masuka and she said "I've never seen that guy before, but he's definitely a freak." and Dexter said "No not the bald guy, the one next to him." | ||

Dexter kills people that fit his code, these men all participated in a rape then kill spree of 12 women which definitely fits them in the code. So Dexter, while knowing how Lumen feels and sympathizing for her need is doing the kills for both of them. | ||

If he let the cops handle it, they would probably catch them too. He derailed the investigation because she wants to kill them herself (or have Dexter do it and be in the room). They weren't on his radar, he didn't stalk them. A couple eps ago he urged her to forget about it and get on with her life. He wasn't going to pursue the matter himself. | ||

He wasn't going to pursue the matter himself. where does the "sort of" come from in " sort of fit his code"? his code is kill people who have killed other people, basically. they fit his code just as much as everyone else he has killed. in fact i was surprised he wasnt more enthusiastic about it in the first place. i was more questioning his thinking when he said "let the cops handle it" than when he agreed to help Lumen. | ||

Dexter is in my opinion a really bad show and has been ever since the first episode, but i tolerate it and keep watching because of the interesting premise of an actual anti-hero.

So basically it's a choice between killing a victim or her rapists, there's no other way not to get caught. | ||

It's very clear from the end of the ep that he's come to see Lumen as his partner and not just some girl he's helping out. This episode was a total get from point A to B. | ||
