What an episode!!! Describing killing as an addiction is definitely not a socially accepted thematic exploration but wow I'm wondering if Dexter is "curable" or he was inherently born to have homicidal urges. The plotting suggests it's the former but we will see. Pushed the plot a lot forward too with Dexter realizing that his mother died because of her relationship with his foster father. With all this turmoil, Dexter is confused and this is no longer the empty Dexter - but a Dexter filled with rage and emotions. However Lila is there to see through it. The relationship between Lila and Dexter is so sweet and so real - they share their dark side in a way Dexter could not with Rita.
