@ITK-2

No offence, but I loved the episode for almost exactly the things that made it nonesense in your point of view…
As for…
(1) – Not all things are explicable. Maybe one part of Hannah did not really want to kill Deb. Maybe she wasn’t so cold at all. Maybe she just did something and left it open to chance.
(2) – Dexter isn’t somebody in their right mind…
(3) – All the Doaks flashbacks were a prefect junxtaposition of the man wearing a mask, the monster Harry created and the man that had several awakenings that changed him, the man who cannot longer follow Harry’s code
(4) – Deb had to do it, this season was more about her than it was about Dexter
(5) – Emotionally and psychologically this episode created one of the greatest cliff hangers ever shown on TV

@Dex … I had the same thought… not a review at all. Call it summary or recap but not a review
@Ystrahovski… You’ve got to be kidding. The relationship between Hannah and Dexter was one of the greatest things the writers ever did. It was so lifelike that one wouldn’t even expect to see such a thing in a TV show.
They refrained from using any of the femme fatale chliches, they avoided an implausible chain of events that made Dexter’s Love for Hannah comprehensible to the last hillbilly of their viewers and they sidestepped all the mawkish love-at-first-sight stereotypes.
Instead, they relied on the great acting skills of Michael C Hall and Yvonne Strahovski, to create a lifelike situation were a man and a woman fall for each other because their chemical/emotional connection goes beyond what appears to be logical or intersubjectively comprehensible.

This Season 7 Finale was a BIG disappointment overall. Here are some of the reasons: (1) Hannah confesses to spiking Deb’s water without any explanation of how she did it or why she did not just kill Deb with an actual poison, like she said she would have in Episode 11 … So nonsensical that I nearly laughed out loud. (2) Hannah escapes easily and looks like she is coming after Dexter or Harrison instantly – Just like I wrote last week, Dexter knew full-well how lethal Hannah was … And he completely forgets what happened to Rita/ Harrison when Dexter did not effectively tie up the Trinity/Travis loose ends himself? Again, no one in their right mind would betray Hannah – A move way too stupid for Dexter to make. (3) All the Doakes flashbacks just were a rehash that we did not need … zzz for nearly half of Episode 12. (4) Deb has to shoot LaGuerta, and now, for much of next Season (the last), we’ll probably have to watch Deb crying in remorse and blaming Dexter. Not something what I want to endure again, since there was so much of that this Season. (5) No real cliff -hanger provided that we can obsess about for 9 months…Just an orchid left on the doorstep, really?

I think the whole deal with Hannah was handled very poorly by the writers. It just doesn’t feel convincing. Yeah, I’m a Dexter/Hannah shipper and a huge fan of Yvonne Strahovski in general, so I’ll throw that out now. But I honestly believe it should have been Deb poisoning herself, because it’s set up so perfectly, and you’d get. Hell, why didn’t Hannah say she didn’t poison Deb, and get Dexter to help her out? It makes no sense. Will she return for next season? Who knows. I think it’s a possibility, but to be honest, I can’t say I’d be excited for her.

Bad ass. Where does it go from here? Matthews will be all over this. What about that key doakes was given? Hannah better not be the big bad for the entire season.
