I knew about 4 or 5 episodes into this season that they were not going to go the way I would have liked so... I've been dis-appointed for weeks However... This episode was a real quality episode... Perhaps the best one since John Lithgow's season. They did a better job then most shows with wrapping things up though it definitely could have been more satisfying. The writing was really pretty top notch for all they had to get done, I wish the last few seasons had been as good. I thought the very minimal Dexter narration gave a lot more power to a lot of it. Not what I wanted but better then I had feared.
