After the underrated season 3, i honestly thought the show had lost the air tight gripping tension that season 1 brought to the table...i could not have been more wrong.
i actually watched dis episode, and overall, finished dexter a few months back. i thought season one was amazing. season two being alright and season three being criminally underrated. however, never would i have imagined that the show would ever reach this level of quality. trinity is easily the best quality villain of the show. john lithgow's portrayal of arthur mitchell/trinity is absolutely phenomenal. aside from pointless subplots that add nothing to the overall story, season 4 was f-cking fire. but when i arrived to this episode, i was jus not prepared. the thanksgiving scene that takes place in this episode quickly devolves into a psychological battle when its revealed trinity uses his wife and two kids as, essentially, human shields to mask who and what he really is. his wife is a broken wreck trying to keep her husband happy at all times. his daughter is regularly locked up in her room which looks like belongs to an eight year old. and its revealed he abuses his own son jonah. however, in this episode, he's had enough. and when all this is revealed to dexter during thanksgiving at the mitchells, he quickly becomes extremely disturbed. and what follows becomes imo one of the most intense scenes i have ever f-cking scene of anything.
10/10 without a doubt.
