    Amazing and brilliant

    Amazing episode and amazing acting by dexter. I have always miss the connection and relationship between dexter and his son but in this episode i was satisfied.

    Things getting perfect

    What I like about dexter he's always escape from everything no matter how far he thinks he got, and he still has the same expressions on his face when he put himself in troubles, and Clancy Brown he's a big plus to this season I think no one can plays this KERT as he's doing (best actor for this character) gotta say he still scares me like the first time I saw him in Shawshank redemption.

    You need to know

    I was unhappy when i saw that this episode was only 40ish minutes. But thank god its not longer than that. Because when you live the tension and fear with your favorite characters, it kind of feels like its you in that situation. Running for your life in a minute and be the predator in the next. Thats what makes Dexter a great show!

    An edge of the seat episode

    We have been here before. In the earlier seasons of dexter we have been in similar situations, where dexter was so close to getting caught. But the stakes have never been higher. Earlier there was no emotional quotient to dexter. But now he has, in the form of his son.

    Overall this episode again plays the build up game by raising the stakes. As a fan I really wish they provide a satisfying ending in the next two episodes.

    This is probably one of the best thing in 2021

    Every episode is very solid, this episode was also very good to watch, it was a bit not suprising, but it felt very well made. I kinda knew how it would go, but it's a geteway to even better episodes.

      At the end of the episode, Angela finds a web page about the Bay Harbor Butcher that states that ketamine was used to sedate the victims. This is untrue. At the time, Dexter was using M99 or Etorphine, a semi-synthetic opioid, to sedate his victims in order to capture them. He only used ketamine now as it was easily accessible. Angela's search for "ketamine Miami Homicide" should have yielded little to no results.
