Sort of something that irks me about his sudden change.

Oh and why did the Marshall just let Saxon go like that? Even if he didn't know who he was obviously there was a reason he was tied up like that. He deserved to die for doing something that idiotic.

Better episode for sure, but this season is too far gone for them to resolve the massive amount of issues going into these last couple episodes. Sadly with Breaking Bad killing it this season is too anticlimactic for my liking.
I think it shows Dexters growth. One of the thematic questions around Dexter has always been wether Dexter is just a killer who is muted by the code or if he could change and become normal. The answer was he was more then the sum of the code. I liked that progression and have found it believalbe.

The rest of this season has been pretty bad and has had none of the flow of the earlier Dexter seasons. It is really a let down. I hope the end is Dexter sacrificing himself for Deb and Harrison. As a sociopath he would save himself. Earlier this season Vogal said that rule number 1 was don't get caught so he was allowed to kill innocent people to save himself. To overcome that programming and having him die to save others by making a deliberate choice would complete Dexter's transition to human from someone who played human.
