I had been thinking that this show just didn't have the spark of the original (probably because it's further from the original work), and was annoyed that they've kind of Flanderised the idea of being a serial killer into a trope, but they are bringing together the plot lines in a very satisfying way here.

I personally kind of don't like the Baptista plotline and feel it's a bit of forced. It's weird having someone know that Dexter is a killer and go around giving that answer to all the important cop characters.
It would be so easy easy to catch Dexter by having someone follow him.
They know him by name and face (+ his son) so I can hardly see how his name is getting cleared up ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Part of me hopes it winds up in a courtroom, if only there'd be a flashback montage, and Dex being fully out to the world with Harrison's support. He'd probably become a boogeyman in prison and/or get a reduced sentence for what he has on Prater

I think they implied serial killers can get a deal by turning other serial killers in like the gemini dude whos #1 on the most wanted list
