‘Dexter’ season 7 spoilers: Does new photo show Deb’s next move?
For those of you who love “Dexter,” we have another calculated hint at just how Deb may be reacting to the stunning (and really quite frankly unfathomable) news that her brother is a serial killer.
(Warning: the following contains some possible season 7 spoilers.)
The new photo at the bottom of this article was first published in a new issue of TV Guide Magazine (hence the faded image), and was later published to a Tumblr page. As for what it shows, it appears to be Dexter lighting some sort of match while Deb looks on. Is he getting ready to burn the body of Travis Marshall? We don’t know how many other explanations there are for it.
What also seems to be rather notable here is that Deb does not appear to be holding up her gun anymore, as she was in the first photo that we posted from the September 30 premiere. It’s not necessarily an indication, though, that she is accepting what Dexter did to Travis and allowing it to happen — she may just be too much in shock to know what to do. She knew that Travis was a killer, and from that standpoint deserved exactly what he got. Does that justify what Dexter did? This is where the whole issue of “gray areas” is going to come into question, as is how much Deb’s moral compass has changed since she was a cop working on vice during the first season.
Regardless of your thoughts on this initial picture, remember one thing — this is not going to be something for Deb that gets solved overnight. In addition to her pre-existing feelings for Dexter, she’s now going to have to wrestle with the fact that he was never who she imagined him to be.
What do you think this new image represents?

This show is nothing but contrivances designed to extend seasons and stretch out episodes, so don’t be surprised if the entire Miami PD is just his fantasy inside a snow globe.
The hardest thing to explain is why she ‘d go there, alone, in the first place, with Travis on the loose. Huh?!?
Or why the doors weren’t at least blocked by Dex. Or why a notorious crime scene — sans any cop presence — wouldn’t be then be overrun with weirdos picking it over for souvenirs?
Etc. etc.

In the novels (the show is way better by the way) Deb finds out about Dexter when he rescues her from the Ice truck Killer….she freaks out, but accepts it once Dexter explains that it was their Father who taught him how to hunt criminals…

i agree with the comment above, deb obviously did not freak out like you would think, because dex remains focused in what he is doing as ooposed to explaining to deb or her running away, they both look content with eachother

Here’s what I think about the picture of Dexter and Deb.
She accepts him for who he is because:
1) Dexter would end if she didn’t.
2) She is standing behind him in the photo, so “She has his back” or to put it another way, she’s wing manning him.
3) Continuing the wing man theme: she is looking at him almost in a questioning way (as if to say “What are you thinking”, while he is focusing on something outside the frame of the picture. He decides the speed and direction of his destiny. She is not getting in the way.
4) Looks like the color of his kill kit has changed from khaki to green. Is this an external display of the internal evolution of his character because of Deb’s discovery of his true nature? I’d like to think so.
5) Its in a church by the look of it. Maybe she is turning the proverbial “other cheek” or, in a way we have yet to discover, “Forgiving his sins”?
Whatever happens, Deb will take a while to adjust to Dexters “methods”, but I think that her moral compass and his will align. After all, they both serve the greater good. Even if that means they take different paths to get to that destination.
Whatever happens, I love the show and hope its creators delve more into his psyche. Bring on season 7!!!
