Here is one thought that crossed my mind:

Spoiler!

Dexter is confronted by Angela as being the Bay Harbour Butcher. He kills her to stay out of prison and protect his growing relationship with Harrison.

Harrison finds out that Dexter killed Angela but she didn’t fit the code. He decides that he needs to follow the code and Dexter needs to die.

Not sure it would be a popular way to end the show though.

Spoiler!

Could absolutely see that if they had more runway left.

I'm not sure you can manage that in one episode, at least in satisfying way that isn't rushed and shows Harrison's internal conflict culminating in that decision to honor the code even against his own father. Would take too much character development to reach that point in a convincing way. Harrison is too enamored with his newfound bond with his dad right now.

But maybe that's why there's so much left to tie up. Because it's going to really end after a season 2.

There is too much to happen yet with Harrison for it to end here tbh. It feels like they just started a father-son dark duo story arc rather than being on the verge of a conclusion to everything.

And its actually a really good development in the show that could have some legs and keep people invested.

I do know one thing though: Angela/Deb 2.0 needs to go.
