An Unforgettable, High-Stakes Conclusion
The season finale Born Free takes the intensity of Dexter to new heights, offering a raw and emotionally charged conclusion. Dexter's journey, both as a man and as a vigilante, reaches a critical turning point. With his dark secrets and double life on the verge of unraveling, Dexter is forced to confront the consequences of his actions in a way that's never felt more urgent. The episode is full of high-stakes drama, where every decision feels like it could lead to Dexter's downfall or redemption. What makes Born Free so remarkable is its ability to blend Dexter's personal growth with the psychological tension that defines the series. The finale is unpredictable, intense, and leaves a lasting emotional impact that perfectly captures the essence of Dexter's moral ambiguity. It's a powerful and unforgettable conclusion that sets the tone for the seasons to follow.
1 star
This episode dissapointed me, I did not enjoy how rudy betrayed deborah. Dexter had limited facial expressions for too much of the spisode. Brian is not a good villain for season 1 and the development he causes for dexter should not have been placed so early in the show. Overall, this episode does not serve its purpose as a series finale, falling flat on its face.
Amazing twist
Just watch until the end and be patient, don't search up anything online and let the story play out. 10/10 twist. The music was played at right moments and throughout the whole show, the main music of suspense is rarely played. The ending was so good, and honestly the story writing is what will leave you in awe. Trying my best not to spoil anything major here but this episode is where dexter shows a side of himself that we thought we would never see. A lot of the story is explained in this episode and I think there is rarely any missing puzzle pieces in my opinion. Definitely in my top 10 episodes.

Perfect Season Finale!
The twelfth and final episode of the first season of Dexter is about perfect in every way. The events leading to this episode is all worth the waiting because this is one final epic showdown. We learn many surprising things here including a connection between Rudy and Dexter that I certainly did not see coming. From start to finish, this episode is just amazing and will truly hold your attention like no other.
In this episode, "Born Free," Debra has been kidnapped by Rudy, whose identity has been known now as he truly is. Dexter races against the clock to find Debra. Meanwhile, his feud with Sgt. Doakes becomes physical. Also, Paul calls Rita saying that Dexter framed him and that's why he is in jail.
Overall, this is such an amazing episode. It took eleven episodes of build-up, but we have come to the utmost satisfying conclusion there could be. I'll be eagerly awaiting the second season of this fantastic series. I rate this episode 10/10.

Did you know
- TriviaThe sudden appearance and line of "Surprise, Mother F*cker" by Doakes inspired a popular series of internet memes.
- GoofsDexter finds the story of Laura's murder in the October 3rd edition of the newspaper. The October 3rd paper would report on what happened October 2nd. Brian should have known that they were actually "born free" on 10/2, not 10/3 (leaving aside the fact that if they were found on 10/2, then the murders actually occurred on 9/30).
