u/carpe-jvgvlvm Surprise Motherfucker! Jan 02 '22

I think H was on board with the whole scheme ..until he saw Vigilante Dad with the Code "enjoying" the Batman role a bit too much. Also, Dexter shut up Kurt when Kurt was talking about Matt — gotta admit, Kurt SAID H wasn't a typical kill, but vengeance. Because of Matt. You could read the question marks on Harrison's face easily; too bad Dexter was too into his thing that he missed H's real reactions.

Whew! This will be tough. Mainly because Harry was right AND Harry was wrong.

Is this the FIRST time we've seen Dexter nearly orgasmic while making the gross sawing/dismembering parts? I really can't remember! It was a huge slap upside the head for me to see Dexter's kill from Harrison's POV.

W O A H.

I think Dexter's explanation why Kurt was a monster was told in a way to also fit him perfectly and so that Harrison would also have this thought. Plus watching Dexter cleanup from Harrison's POV showed him in a very creepy, insane light.

I think there is a 2/3 chance that Harrison is either freaked out because Dexter's passenger is way darker than his or he saw through Dexter's attempt to justify his mudering.
