I have to hand it to Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Debra in the Dexter series. She really has come a long way since the show first started out.
This week’s Dexter episode, the season finale, in fact, was really all about her.
The Travis storyline was kind of predictable. And despite some chilling scenes from Dexter, it was Debra’s storyline that carried this whole thing to the end.
Debra was having the worst day of her life and the fact that she has admitted to her therapist that she may love her foster brother in a different way, puts this whole thing in a different light.
I don’t exactly like the fact that Debra all of a sudden realizes she loves Dexter more than a brother, as to me, they have always been siblings. But I guess it makes sense for the writers to arrive at this storyline. And the confusion in her mind makes this new angle more complex.
In addition, there is also this pressure from work, leading to Deb’s meltdown and I was quite apprehensive that she would jump off the building in once scene.
But alas, the writers don’t want to end it the easy way. Debra is about to witness his brother, the man she loves, kill the man her police force is after.
And then she finally knows. Or at least what I hope is the idea that finally, Debra sees everything we’ve been hoping she gets.
Now where does that lead Dexter and Debra’s relationship next season?
