Seriously, what are these ending scenes coming out of nowhere? This episode's one was a little bit better than that with the horses, but nevertheless, it was still kind of lame. We all know Brother Sam is dealing with some dangerous people as he tries to save a lot of them at the same time, but he was starting to become an interesting character, who provided the only really good dialogue in the season thus far. And then they just kill him randomly in the last 10 seconds of the episode. If this has no meaning at all in the bigger context of the season and the show, and only serves as the starting point to another of Dexter's hunts, I'll be majorly disappointed.
However, not everything is bad. We see now Travis is really supposed to be a weak character. Of course Gellar sees that too, and that is why he's manipulating him. As it seems the main conflict of the season is something like light versus darkness (although I really don't like this dichotomic division), it has become obvious that Travis is going to be trapped in that conflict. It might be interesting, if well written, which is my biggest concern towards Dexter in the last two season.
Will Dexter represent the light, for once? I thought I was concerned with Dexter becoming a religious person, but having him portrayed as a hero might be even worse.
