Oh boy did I cringe when we met wife of the late dentist. Possibly the most appalling combination of bad looks and bitchy/******ed roles I've seen. Glad that this was a short-lived throwaway character.
Dexter was perhaps the most relaxed and normal in a social environment that I've seen so far when he was with Lumen at the beach this episode. Might be noteworthy.

I share your sentiments. I was kind of hoping Quinn would find out just to avoid going back to sq one. I dislike if they now just wrap it all up nicely after building up all this suspension. Besides, I kinda feel bad for Quinn (lol) if he ends up taking the blame and goes to jail or whatever.
Oh and Liddy dying just like that was a huuuge anticlimax, was definitely expecting more of it. Btw thumbs up that they didn't have Dex somehow deduce that it wasn't Quinn behind the surveillance but someone else. Small detail but I've seen similar in Dexter before and it would've bugged me.
The optimal finale for me would probably be Quinn going away for murdering Liddy but casting a pitch black shadow on Dex. That's pretty elementary, though, I don't have abundant imagination over this. I'm still torn between hoping a short but epic and deserving end to the series (Dex gets caught rather quickly) and the alternative where he doesn't get caught and doesn't really even get any heat, thus allowing a few more action packed seasons (which will suffer because we don't really buy that he's not got caught yet). At least (not having seen the previews etc.) I can still hope Lumen gets killed next week (can't remember if her involvement in next season was already confirmed or not), I found myself wondering whether Chase had actually killed her after all when Dex got to Emily's house.
Hopefully we don't be left in the dark regarding Emily's and Chase's relationship. I don't quite get it. What was she getting from it? Had she been atoned for by Chase for the torture (we are still assuming all that she told Lumen was true, right?)? Even if she was, didn't she care about the other victims? Didn't she have enough evidence on Chase & co. not to be scared of the retributions? Evidently Chase's mental grip was powerful enough to offset the lack of any physical boundaries. Meh.

It frequently does on my copies, too; doesn't prevent me from clicking stop.
Also, huge +1 for the one who said that Chase didn't seem to have a plan for Dex and Lumen. WTF really, did they actually just forget about that or what? And yeah I do think that the plan should've been shown somehow if he had one, the conveniency of Dexter not showing up in time doesn't make it unnecessary.
