On the other hand, an explosive finale could paper over a lot ofOriginal Sins, well, sins.

In the meantime, weve got cases to solve, even if the show has essentially solved them already.

Its a private matter, he lies, and not anything LaGuerta needs to concern herself with.

Captain Spencer, flanked by his tearful ex-wife, is once again demanding that his officers find Nicky.

(Hes fine!)

Dexters voice-over calls Spencer true evil incarnate and identifies him as Dexs first child-killer.

Does he not remember Levi Reed, the man he murdered …three episodes ago?

If he ends up learning about Brians 1991 murder spree, doesnt that completely ruin season one ofDexter?

(I have … many more questions, but Ill spare you.)

After Deb says shes dumped Gio, Harry tells her to stop dating older men.

(Realistically, how much blood does Bobby need?

But I suppose its still a nice gesture!)

For his part, Harry is preoccupied with more flashbacks than ever.

He remembers Dexter and Brian huddled in the corner next to Lauras severed head.

And yet, we all know where this is going.

Harry and Doris are simply not equipped to handle Brian, especially with a newborn.

Dexter is a toddler here!)

In Blood Drive, however, the focus is much more on Brians obsession with Dexter.

But since Barb separated Brian and Dexter, Brian decides to separate Barb (his words!

), brutally murdering her with a chain saw.

As much as Ive been eager for this show to reach the big showdown, this feels awfully rushed.

We still dont know why Spencer did it!

And even on the kill table, he isnt giving up much.

She betrayed me, he seethes.

is facetious, because that cantpossiblybe the answer here.

It certainly doesnt explain framing the cartel and engineering the shoot-out in the last episode.

Lets hope for some clear answers in the finale, about both Spencer and Brian.

Blood Spatter Analysis

It looks like Bobbys going to pull through.

Given that he lets Nicky see his face, Spencer must be planning to kill him, right?

Again, Id love an explanation beyond that his wife cheated on him.

Go forth, draw much blood.

Theyre fully giving SMG Buffy-flavored lines, right?

Or maybe my heads just in that place because of this weeksrevival news.

Apologies, once again, for largely neglecting Deb, something Harry and I have in common.

At this point, though, it seems pretty clear shes fully on the path to law enforcement.
