Following the most shocking season finale in series
history, Dexter has left fans wondering:
- Will Dexter be a suspect in Rita’s death?
- Will his connection to Trinity be discovered?
- What happens to Cody and Astor?
Producer Sara Colleton spoke with TV Guide this week and tried to answer a few
pressing questions, including whether or not season five will pick up immediately following Rita’s gruesome murder…
On why Arthur killed Rita: We left it that way so everyone, based on their own life and their own experiences, would interpret it so it made sense for them. One way to interpret it is that in some bizarre way, Dexter gave Trinity a finality in his situation, that he does this in a bizarre way to trigger Dexter to deal with who he really is. You can only fake it for so long.
On Dexter’s relationship with Trinity: Dexter can’t say that he knows Trinity killed Rita and that he just killed Trinity. There are a lot of possibilities and they will all be thrown out in the room to be discussed.
On Dexter’s season five reaction: [He may go on a killing spree], he may not. Hopefully it will be in what we call the “Dexterous response,” which is based in human behavior, but uniquely put through the prism of Dexter’s special needs. The fact is that he has children now that he is the sole parent of, and how that affects what he does and the choices he makes.
On Dexter as a suspect: If you know anything about crimes, usually a spouse is involved. We may jump ahead six months and it could be all handled. What we wanted to do is give ourselves something that gave us the widest range of possibilities.

Though the sting of Dexter’s season finale is still fresh, it’s time to think about next season. Executive producer Sara Colleton tells TVGuide.com how far in time the show may jump ahead, who the No. 1 suspect in Rita’s murder will be and how much the Trinity Killer will play a role in Season 5.
TVGuide.com: Did you feel that you had to push the limits with this finale?
Sara Colleton: It’s something that comes so organically with the storytelling of where Dexter [Michael C. Hall] is in his life and what he’s learning and what he needs to learn. Of course, when it first comes up, you think, oh no, we can’t do that, because we’ve created these characters and we love them. It became self-evident as we progressed that this is where Dexter needed to be taken.
Dexter’s John Lithgow talks about the shocking finale
TVGuide.com: Why exactly did Arthur (John Lithgow) kill Rita (Julie Benz)? Was it just revenge?
Colleton: It’s complicated. We left it that way so everyone, based on their own life and their own experiences, would interpret it so it made sense for them. One way to interpret it is that in some bizarre way, Dexter gave Trinity a finality in his situation, that he does this in a bizarre way to trigger Dexter to deal with who he really is. You can only fake it for so long.
TVGuide.com: Do you see Trinity playing a role next season though? Questions will be raised by Rita’s murder and Arthur did show up at the police station.
Colleton: All of those things are legitimate. All those questions will obviously be a part of next season. Dexter can’t say that he knows Trinity killed Rita and that he just killed Trinity. There are a lot of possibilities and they will all be thrown out in the room to be discussed.
TVGuide.com: Is there a chance that Julie Benz or John Lithgow might return next season to appear to Dexter in his conscience?
Colleton: Anything is possible on this show because it is a theatrical invention, so any of those devices are possible, but again, none of those have been discussed yet.
TVGuide.com: What are the odds that Arthur pushed a woman to her death before killing Rita and being bludgeoned, thus completing the cycle?
Colleton: But did he break the cycle? If you really examine his death scene, Dexter is giving him an opportunity to break the cycle. Rita is the tie-breaker because he says, “It’s all over now.” Trinity’s thing is tied up with the way he hid the reality from himself. In his master plan, this is the gift he has left behind for Dexter. It can be interpreted, if you look closely at the script, in any number of ways.
TVGuide.com: Dexter can’t get vengeance for Rita’s murder because he already killed Arthur. Is he going to become more bloodthirsty?
Colleton: That’s an instinct he may have, but he may not. Hopefully it will be in what we call the “Dexterous response,” which is based in human behavior, but uniquely put through the prism of Dexter’s special needs. The fact is that he has children now that he is the sole parent of, and how that affects what he does and the choices he makes.
TVGuide.com: Were Paul’s parents introduced as an easy out for Cody and Aster to leave Dexter’s care?
Colleton: We needed to have the children not be there for this finale. We’re trying to find the most interesting way to have to handle this situation because obviously they can always go with their grandmother or their paternal grandparents, or Dexter can take custody of them. It just opens up a variety of ways we can have Dexter deal with his grief.
TVGuide.com: Are you nervous about writing or casting a villain that can live up to or surpass John Lithgow? Might you do without a villain this season?
Colleton: That’s something that’s on the table to discuss because of the awesomeness of what Dexter has to deal with on an emotional level. Obviously there’s going to be an investigation into who killed Rita and the number— and Dexter is going to be involved in that.
TVGuide.com: Were you about to say that Dexter might be the No. 1 suspect in his wife’s murder?
Colleton: If you know anything about crimes, usually a spouse is involved. We may jump ahead six months and it could be all handled. What we wanted to do is give ourselves something that gave us the widest range of possibilities. It’s so intense on a show like this, so emotionally draining, and we have a scant couple of months before we get in a room again, so all of these things are up for discussion.

Deemed as one of the “most incredible endings ever”, the season finale of “Dexter” next week will see Dexter’s family in danger because of his pursuit of Trinity. As the noose tightens, Arthur warns Dexter to back off. But Dexter will do anything to stop Trinity from eluding him, even if that means putting himself on the wrong side of the law.
Rita acknowledges the rocky relationship she and Dexter share, but reaffirms her support. Batista and LaGuerta face the consequences of their actions. Debra unearths a deeply-hidden truth, but not one she expected to find. And ultimately, Dexter and Arthur find themselves on a collision course, leading them to a confrontation that will change their lives forever.
“The Getaway” airs on Sunday, December 6 as the season finale before the show returns to Showtime for a fifth season next year.
On what her takes of the episode, Jennifer Carpenter aka Deb told E!, “I have to give a lot of our fans credit. The stuff that they come up with and the guesses that they make on how it’s going to end are really impressive, but you just can’t top our writers. All the time you put in [episodes] one through 11 watching the show, you’ll be glad that you did in 12. Everybody matters in the end. Everybody matters. We all had to be there to shoot the finale.”

For most of season four, Dexter Morgan has been stalking Arthur Mitchell, trying to understand (and the kill) his fellow mass murderer.
But on Sunday’s new episode, the dangerous tables are turned, as the man referred to as “Trinity” asks Dexter over the phone: “What kind of man witnesses a child abduction and doesn’t call the police?”
We know that answer, of course. Watch Arthur try to deduce it in the clip below, courtesy of the episode “Hello, Dexter Morgan.”
What else can fans expect from the second-to-last episode of the season? Angel questions Christine and – mini-spoiler alert! – Arthur actually shows up at the Miami PD headquarters.

Dexter’s worst fears have been realized. Because of Debra’s unrelenting pursuit, Miami Metro is just one step away from discovering the identity of the Trinity Killer. And Dexter can’t let that happen. Arthur’s arrest would not only deprive Dexter of a satisfying kill, it would also expose the secret life Dexter’s been leading in his pursuit of this monster. Dexter must take drastic action to buy himself time to deal with Trinity in his own fashion. Meanwhile, Rita decides to confide in Dexter, which doesn’t go as well as she’d hoped. LaGuerta and Batista’s breach of ethics paints them into a very tight corner. And Arthur, who still can’t understand why Dexter didn’t simply turn him in, begins his own bloody investigation into Kyle Butler.

“No one’s ever going to hurt you again … especially me.” – Dexter to his infant son, Harrison
Every season, Dexter manages to learn something from every one of his various victims and kills: the origins of his “Dark Passenger,” the need for humanity to have a silent hero, why you shouldn’t share your serial killing secrets with your best friend.
This season’s big lesson seems to be the deepest and most important of all: his family. Dexter kept Arthur Mitchell, the Trinity Killer (although after tonight, he should be redubbed the Trinity Plus One Killer since we learned that Lundy missed a crucial piece of his serial killings), on a long leash hoping to learn how to juggle his family mask and his private hobby, something Arthur has managed to do for more than 30 years. Unfortunately, the lesson he learned was a harsh one: your family is either a family or a mask and can be both. That and don’t follow Arthur Mitchell’s advice, ever.
Once again, Dexter finds himself learning from his mistakes in the previous episode by moving his kill prep room to a shipping container, a nice short homage to the first season. Cody, Dexter’s stepson, fell through the skylight of the shed where he kept all of his kill tools and blood slides, so he decided to move his whole operation “off campus.” But just like all the good episodes, it immediately kicks into high gear without bothering to go through those wimpy first, second or third gears by unveiling a surprise: Trinity does not kill in threes.
It seems when Arthur patterned his kills after his family, Agent Lundy and Dexter forgot to include one important person: Arthur Mitchell. Dexter thinks that Trinity is tracking another woman to start his killing of threes all over again but soon learns he’s actually tracking the young boy. The whole opening scene of Arthur abducting the young boy and attempting to play with him as himself in a fallout shelter has great pacing that builds a great deal of suspense all the way to the end. It also makes for a much better and more believable surprise than, say, the Christine-daughter connection. It doesn’t come out of nowhere and feels like it belongs with the character.
Speaking of which, Christine finally has a longer face-to-face with her “father” and not only reveals that she knows her father is a killer, but that she shot and killed Lundy and shot Debra in order to throw both of them off his tail. It has its pros and cons. Making Christine an accomplice gave Debra and Batista some obstacles to work around, both with Christine and her boyfriend, Quinn. But it stills feels tacked on and more unnecessarily shocking than a bug zapper hooked up to a car battery. It would have worked a hell of a lot better if it happened earlier in the season.
However, now that the two are related and Christine has officially been fingered as the shooter by Miami Metro (or so we’re led to believe by the final scene, I wouldn’t put anything past this show as far as I can throw), it once again sets up an interesting race between Dexter and Debra to get to the true treasure first. The connection between Arthur and Christine might seem more than a little coincidental, but it has set in motion a nice ticking clock scenario.
But before all that comes crashing to an end, Dexter has a very touching scene with his infant son Harrison who helps him realize just how much his family means to him, maybe enough to give up his second life as a serial killer forever. Of course, not before Arthur is 100 feet below sea level in a double wrapped garbage bag, I hope.

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.
