Dex and Deb get a crash course in extreme therapy: Here's 8 things we learned
由 James Hibberd @ EW
This week Dr. Vogel continued to work her dark creepy magic on 《嗜血法医》 and Debra, trying to get them to accept their past deeds and feel generally okay about mercilessly killing people. The episode, aptly titled "Scar Tissue," is basically one big therapy session, climaxing with Debra taking her treatment into her own hands and 《嗜血法医》 having a breakthrough while trying to murder The Brain Surgeon.
With our Comic-Con coverage on the front burner this weekend (here's what happened at the 《嗜血法医》 panel), we're going to keep this recap short and bittersweet. Here's 8 things we learned Sunday night:
1. Quinn passed the sergeants test: In the 85th percentile, no less. We're surprised too. "I've never been this happy to get back a positive test," Quinn says. Yet deputy chief Matthews is putting pressure on 巴蒂斯塔 to give the stripes to Miller instead. Something about Miller scoring higher -- not to mention seeming like a competent professional who isn't about to bury her face in strippers and booze on any 给 weekend. Sorry Quinn, we're siding with Matthews on this one.
2. The Big Bad is a cable TV installer. Dex snooped around the house of Yates, one of Vogel's former patients who now is a "bundler." And here we thought it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work at a cable company (sorry). Not only has he had brain surgery himself at Dr. Vogel's recommendation (a little detail that 你 would think would have sprung to mind sooner for Dr. Vogel), but he also keeps an assortment of women's shoes in his 首页 taken from his victims (Dexter Head-Smacking Implausibility of the Week Alert: If Yates is so paranoid that he's installed cameras all through his house, why wouldn't he at least keep his collection of hugely incriminating 鞋类 in his secret rooms instead of in his regular closet?). Yates finds out Dex and Vogel are onto him and skips town, leaving behind only a half-dead victim and a diagram 展示 how he kills people in case anybody searching his house wasn't 100 percent certain of his guilt.
3. 《嗜血法医》 has a cute neighbor. Hi Cassie. Run Cassie. Seriously, just stay out of this show, it's bad news. 你 seem entirely too normal to be a 爱情 interest for 《嗜血法医》 Morgan.
4. Masuka has a daughter! A college-age hottie shows up at Miami Metro and Vince is startled to learn she's his daughter -- and she even has the same laugh. This raises a few questions: Would a woman really pick Masuka out of the sperm donor catalog and go "That one!"? And can kids from sperm donors really 显示 up on their biological parent's doorstep like that? (Seeing conflicting things online, but it sounds like, yes, it is possible if Masuka chose to be an open donor). Another thought: What if Masuka and his daughter had met in a bar a 月 ago? ... Yeah, scary right? Accidental incest is one of the dangers of sperm donation, as pointed out 由 no less a 来源 than Cracked.com.
6. Quinn is hung up on Debra and isn't that into Jamie. How many hints does Batista's little sister need? Now Quinn is beating up cops at a bar restaurant to defend his ex-gf's honor while he's on a 日期 with Jamie. And to us viewers his feelings are even 更多 obvious when he tells Debra "things are so easy with you, with Jamie things keep getting tripped up." As if things are not getting tripped up because of his longing for his ex-girlfriend.
7. 《嗜血法医》 has emotions (if muted). There was a lot of back and forth on this between 《嗜血法医》 and Dr. "Trust me you're dead inside" Vogel. Dex discovers when Yates uses his dying father as a distraction to escape getting caught that he could never use a family member in such a fashion and therefore Vogel is wrong about him. Granted, 《嗜血法医》 is setting the bar pretty low for himself, but we're siding with him anyway -- 《嗜血法医》 knows his feelings and seems pretty certain about them. Yet when it comes to Debra, the doctor might be right that---
8. Debra will always choose Dexter. After being haunted 由 the idea that she should have shot 《嗜血法医》 last season, Vogel helps her realize that she would still make the same choice today. She learns this in a pretty dramatic fashion after 《嗜血法医》 admits during their drive that their father killed himself due to guilt over Dex's slayings. She turns into a literal Dark Passenger for 《嗜血法医》 由 grabbing the wheel driving the car into a lake (the crash was pretty great). Debra is rescued 由 a fisherman, then goes back and pulls out an unconscious 《嗜血法医》 rather than letting him die. (I'm pretty sure it's not a spoiler to reveal that 《嗜血法医》 didn't just die here in the fourth episode of the final season).
Bonus! Set-visit factoids: "It's sort of the last straw," Jennifer Carpenter explained to EW on the set about why she drives the car into the lake. "It's yet one 更多 person she cared about [who died because of Dexter]. Sometimes 你 can't calculate something, it's a visceral response. At her core, she loves him, at her core, she needs him ... if you're 《勇敢传说》 enough to 爱情 all-out in your life, there are people that are clearly not healthy choices for 你 that your body your 心 你 will [go] to them again and again."
The 《嗜血法医》 team actually shot a scene that directly follows their reemergence from the water (it's not part of 下一个 week's episode) 展示 Debra dragging 《嗜血法医》 back to the 支撑, 海岸 and giving him mouth-to-mouth to revive him. Surprised it wasn't included since it gives a believable and non-romantic excuse to 显示 Deb and Dex locking lips. But the image of the Morgans being "re-born" out of the water is pretty strong too.
