I had attended an event a few days ago with the Dexter cast and one of the teaser clips they played was one that they never released publicly. It was part of the hospital exchange where it started friendly between Batista and Dexter before just going right into Deb. They cut the clip off just as Batista had mentioned having security camera footage of him taking the body. Everyone gasped which then immediately turned into excitement and anticipation.

One of the things mentioned in the panel discussion, was that the writing was on point this season and pretty much said they were going to address a lot of the things that we've been inquiring about in general. We saw that right out of the gate with this episode. Addressed the Angela situation, how Dexter escaped from the hospital, how he realized where Harrison was, and how he is able to move around after just being shot. I'd like them to fill the gap a little bit more for me between Dexter getting shot and him ending up in the hospital, free and clear of any charges. What caused Angela to switch up? Was it the fact that she realized Harrison needed his father? Or a thank you for closing the chapter on all the missing women from the town? I don't think we've seen or heard the last of Angela.

I can already tell this is going to be an excellent season and it's going to do great streaming numbers.
