In episode 411, Dexter must buy time to protect himself when Debra’s investigation brings the department one step away from identifying Arthur as the Trinity Killer; Rita confides in Dexter, but is disappointed in the result.
For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it’s an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur’s psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests. Batista gets closure on an old case, while Debra uses the holiday to continue her investigation of the Trinity Killer, a pursuit which threatens her brother’s safety and brings to light surprising revelations about someone else close to her.
Want to know a deep, dark Dexter secret?
Well, we have one to share, but we should warn you: It’s something that is apparently so spoilery and so hush-hush that resident Dexter housewife Julie Benz freaked out when she heard that one of her costars told us about it.
Julie’s reaction? “He said that?!” Followed by a quick: “They’ll kill me if I say anything!”
So what is the big secret, who spilled the beans, and what else did we guess about Rita that made Julie’s jaw drop?
The man who spilled the top-secret twist is none other than James Remar (Harry Morgan), who clearly isn’t so concerned about being killed off given that, well, he’s already dead.
“There’s an element to the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) that has as yet gone undetected,” James told us at Tuesday’s TV Guide Hot List party. Meaning? “‘Trinity’ is inaccurate about the pattern of his kills.”
Whoa! So Trinity isn’t really the serial-killing, three-person-template-following sociopath we’ve been led to believe? Did Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) die in vain? Is “Trinity” even the right title to give the man?!
“It may not be,” James told us. “That’s going to come out really toward the end of the season.”
Julie, the good little spoiler-protecting soldier, tried to brush off what James told us. “You never know! There could be some truth to that; there could not be some truth to that. Sometimes James…runs a lot and gets light-headed.”
Trinity obsession aside, Dex (Michael C. Hall) and Rita are headed for rocky ground once more. “We see some cracks in Rita’s veneer,” Julie told us, which lead us to ask her about this theory: that Rita be looking for comfort in the arms of their too-friendly—and suddenly single—neighbor.
“I plead the Fifth,” Julie denied, with a grin that clearly said we were on to something big. “Rita’s not as perfect as people think she thinks she is.”
Now that he’s killed his first innocent man, do you think Dexter will make another exception for the man potentially sleeping with his wifey? Only time will tell.
Are you on board with a Trinity Killer who doesn’t kill in threes? What about the back-and-forth of Dexter’s marriage? Let us know below.

Dexter has always known his father’s Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous - human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn’t prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard - that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

Dexter is so close to finishing Trinity and ending his marriage to Rita. Dexter has begun to realize that the closer he gets to Trinity, the more he stands to learn from this very different beast. And when the friction between Rita and him comes to a head, Dexter gleans relationship advice from a most unlikely source.
Dexter knows it’s only a matter of time before Miami Metro discovers the Trinity Killer’s latest handiwork. Therefore, he has to work doubly hard to stay one step ahead of their investigation. Trinity hides behind a well-kept mask, and getting behind that facade will require some extra prodding on Dexter’s part.
Meanwhile, Debra becomes frustrated when she finds herself shut out from her own case. She considers bending the rules in the name of justice, risking her career in the process. LaGuerta and Batista come to regret a major decision, and realize that by playing by the rules they may have painted themselves into a corner.
In addition to the preview, Showtime releases two clips from the November 1 episode. The first one deals with Debra telling Dexter her theory while the second one is about Rita and Dexter going for marriage counseling.
Keith Carradine returned this season on Dexter, bringing special agent Frank Lundy back into the life of Dexter, Deb and Miami’s newest serial killer.
But the character didn’t stick around too long, as he appeared to be bite the literal bullet last night when he and Deb were gunned down in a parking lot.
It looks like Dexter’s sister will make it, but the odds aren’t good for Carradine’s Lundy.
“It didn’t come as a complete shock,” the actor told TV Guide Magazine when asked about his character’s fate. “The scenario was laid out pretty clear to me when they asked me to come back.”
Did Trinity take out Lundy? Or is there any chance Anton’s jealousy led to a heinous act?
Don’t feel badly for Carradine, however.
He’ll guest star on both Dollhouse and Damages in the near future.
Dexter finally believes he understands the beast known as Trinity. But when a ten-year old boy goes missing, Dexter is forced to question everything he’s learned up to this point. It’s a race against the clock. And with each step forward, Dexter has to confront the real possibility that he may have more in common with Trinity than he’d like to admit. Secrets abound – from Cody, who is forced to defend one of Dexter’s lies, Masuka, who can’t bring himself to confess what he witnessed at Thanksgiving, and Debra, whose recent discoveries force one of Miami’s finest into making an impossible decision.
For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it’s an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur’s psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests. Batista gets closure on an old case, while Debra uses the holiday to continue her investigation of the Trinity Killer, a pursuit which threatens her brother’s safety and brings to light surprising revelations about someone else close to her.
