While this finale was not as gripping as the finale in the Lithgow season it certainly makes S7 much more intriguing.

What's the consensus on how Deb reacts? Does she realize she had a hunch all along and goes along with it? Or does she go the other way, totally distance herself from Dexter and struggle with what she should do about it.

Either way, it's gonna be a gooder!
Potential spoilers! (well not really, but I was so good at predicting pretty much everything from this past season I thought I'd give you guys a heads up.)

I think it makes the most sense if Deb distances herself from Dexter, meanwhile Dex feels closer to her than ever. Pretty much a reversal of season 6. Dex now feels he has someone he can be himself around but she is repulsed by it.

Finally, she comes around about 2/3 or 3/4 through the season when a baddie they can't arrest (on some technicality) is brought to justice by Dexter.

Once she sees his use we see that in season 8 she is actively stalling investigations that Dex wants to handle himself. This leads to Deb being fired or getting in serious trouble for obstructing justice, but no one knows why except her and Dex.

Series ends when he kills someone to get her off the hook (Laguerta?). She then is ok with it and travels around with Dex wiping out bad guys across the US.
