I love everything about this season, but the two elements that stand-out even above everything else is how far Deb has come - think back to how uncertain she was in season 1; from season 1 through season 5 she grew so much. And Dex and Lumen's relationship; the growth, how they started out not trusting each other at all up to this point (and through the end of the season, since you've seen it all by now), it's so satisfying seeing them slowly - and realistically - begin to trust and respect and love each other. Again, it all starts (to me) in episode 6 when Lumen calls Dex to help her with the dentist... "Lumenthal; no relation" and "you sure know a lot about blood", her realizing he's a "cop", how tense that scene is, but then she's proven right and he helps her escape, sends her to his old house and cleans up after her... just the little moments along the way after that, her saving him when she's the lookout, him saving her then them killing the security dude, him beginning to trust her and having her help him, eventually him letting her make the kill, sharing that together... fuck it's so good. I just lament how good season 6 could've been had they followed the thread of Dex and Lumen's relationship. Even if she would've still left, we should've felt the repercussions of Lumen having been in Dex's life. (Like, you know... Deb thinking about how Lumen fit the profile, came out of nowhere, was Dex's secret tenant, then disappeared immediately after Jordan Chase died... and lots of little things along the way, of course, the scratched disc, and Dex saying he thought somebody could get over having been through that. No way Deb doesn't put the pieces together after the fact, once Lumen leaves.)

When Deb told Quinn that her shooting Fuentes dead did not bother her, did you think this was a signal that Deb would be okay with finding out Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher?
