Dexter: 8 Loose Ends That Season 8 Probably Won’t Tie Up

By Matthew Murray /

4. Deb€™s Feelings For Dexter

When it comes to unresolved plot lines, this one the writing team almost moped up successfully. But it doesn€™t matter how hard they work at it, there€™s one hell of a stain when you introduce the possibility of someone dating their adoptive sibling into an already crowded (and morally questionable) story. I don€™t think anyone was particularly impressed by the revelation that Deb is in love with Dexter. Well I wasn€™t anyway. The turning point was only established so that Deb would end up catching Dex in the act of murder. And everybody knows it. I was pleasantly surprised by the way they weaved it into season seven at certain points instead of ignoring it all together. But they still haven€™t tied it down. And let€™s face it, there€™s no real resolution on this one that€™s going to please us. So maybe it€™s left open to interpretation anyway.
