During this season, Dexter bonded closely with Dr. Vogel, who he would see as a mother. While this was happening, there was some madness happening down at Miami Metro, with a new crazed serial killer known as the brain surgeon, who would saw off the back pieces of peoples brains, then proceed to remove the gland which makes them feel empathy. That is the trade of a psychopath, They cannot feel empathy.
The Brain Surgeon started to send the offcuts of the brain to Doctor Vogel, for an unknown reason. Dexter seeing this as a threat, took out the brain surgeon.
While this is going on, Dexter has taken on a protege, someone quite like him, who he will teach the code to.
Right after, Hannah Mckay, Dexter's ex-girlfriend, returns to him. She is wanted by the police, and Dexter was the one who 'snitched' on her. She loves him nonetheless, and Dexter finds emotions with her he has never felt before, and he decides that he should live another life with her. After being re-united with her, his urge to kill has died down, and now he plans to move to Argentina with her.
Alas, there are complications. One day, Dexter comes home to see his protege, dead on his home table. Though, the protege has had the back of his head removed, with great precision, just as the brain surgeon would have. After finding some DNA of his, he does a scan in the Miami Metro database, and it shows that the DNA belongs to the son of Doctor Vogel.
Dexter is assuring Dr. Vogel he needs to kill The Brain Surgeon, but the Dr. Vogel is now infatuated with his son, and would not allow it to happen. Dexter soon chases down The Brain Surgeon, and to make an example, The Brain surgeon slits his own mothers throat (Doctor Vogels) in front of him.
Dexter having had met Hannah, he had his 'Dark Passenger' (need for kill) died down, and he felt pure emotion for her death. He needed revenge.
He managed to chase down The Brain Surgeon, and he strapped him to his chair, as if he was going to kill him. Before the knife was plunged deep into his chest, Dexter realized he didn't have to kill, and as The Brain Surgeon was a wanted man, there was another way of doing this.
Dexter left the room with The Brain Surgeon still there, he called his sister Deborah Morgan, who is also a detective at Miami Metro. She came into to arrest him, while Dexter was about to board the plane to Argentina with Hannah and Harrison (his son).
The Brain Surgeon had found a way to untie himself with the help of an innocent stranger, who he soon killed. When Deborah came in to arrest him, he shot her.
Dexter can't make it to his flight, but Hannah and Harrison get on board, and they agree to meet eachother there. Deborah is alive, and will be well, she just needs some crucial surgery. Meanwhile, a terrible storm is rising in Miami. Dexter decides he must kill The Brain Surgeon before he leaves, as it is to much of a risk to let him live.
The Brain Surgeon comes to the hospital were Deborah is located, holds Dexter gunpoint, and is about to fire. Immediately a fellow detective interferes, and The Brain Surgeon is now in custody. Dexter is enraged, and devises a plan to kill him in his cell. He goes to take some of his DNA for testing purposes and he whispers that he is going to kill Saxon with a pen he had on the table. Alarmed, Saxon grabs the pen, stabs the pen into Dexter's shoulder, Dexter pulls it free, and as an act of 'self-defence', plunges it deep into the Jugular vein of The Brain Surgeon.
Dexter returns to the hospital to find out the Deborah's surgery went wrong. Best case scenario she will be a paraplegic, and won't be able to think any more. Dexter once again enraged, pulls her out of the hospital, and simply walks out the doors holding her. He gets on his boat, and takes it to his usual kill spot, and throws her into the water.
This was a really emotional scene, and much could have been done with it, but they proceeded to ruin it in the next few scenes.
The storm was very strong now, and Dexter decides that he is a danger to everyone, and the best thing he could do for Hannah and Harrison, is to remove himself from the equation. This is followed by a call of 'I love you', though it does not hint that he is going to commit suicide. Dexter drives into the storm, and the scene ends.
It shows the shipwreck, and all over the news it shows that Dexter has been killed, it skips to Hannah, and it shows her crying. The show proceeds to 'end'.
Just when everyone thinks its over, it starts up again and it shows a lumber mill. It shows a person afar who looks like Dexter, walking into an office. This is what we all hoped for, a little sneak of what kind of monster Harrison would turn out to be. But no, it is Dexter. We see him sitting at a desk, with a sad solemn face in his eyes.
He did not make the ultimate sacrifice, he decided to live as a Lumber Jack. Like seriously, a Lumber Jack. They could have not thought of anything better?
The ending was terrible, it hints somethings that the producers didn't expect it too, showing another series of stupid writing. This show has had perfect writing from episode one, but they ruined it with the last 20 seconds of footage, with Dexter at a Lumber mill.
They aimed for a 'tear-jerking' ending, which happened to jerk no tears. Personally, I think it was a waste, they could have ended it so much better. They could have ended it with a collage of a million Doakes Faces spinning in circles, and it would have been better then this.
