Great episode, I was on the edge of my seat. I have not been so in tuned to a Dexter season since season 4. They have done an amazing job so far.
Although this isn't a popular opinion amongst Dexter fans,
[Show spoiler]I want Dexter to be caught/killed by the time they are bringing Dexter Resurrection to an end. Nothing will bring me more satisfaction than watching all the lies come to light, an ACTUALbig man hunt for Dexter, he is on the run and ultimately is caught.
Which brings me to the killing of Batista. Wonderful episode, but I hope this subplot doesn't come to an end. Also, I don't want to spend season two with someone else getting suspicious of Dexter to just end up in the same way. I really hope that the murder of Batista gets the ball rolling on Dexter being a serial killer, and if they are only doing 3 seasons of Resurrection, they have two seasons left to bring the show to a satisfying ending.
Having said that and having watched 9 episodes of Resurrection, I'm not doubting the team working on Dexter and I don't feel like they are going to drop the ball on a third ending. They have delivered a great season and I believe they will work hard on keeping the momentum going.

I agree
[Show spoiler] although I believe it should be done to slowly turn the audience against Dexter. Not to stop watching the show obviously lol, but to make him look more unhinged as the protagonist. Which is where I felt like Dexter was going by the end of season 7, until season 8 hit the reset button on everything. Or how Dexter should have become more unhinged after the season 4 finale.
Batista is a nice likable character, if Dexter would have killed him, it really would not have felt "right," which I believe is needed.
