As for the ending, I thought it worked very well. Harrison clearly did not get the relief from killing that Dexter had. His disgust and confusion as the blood trickled towards him in Kurt's hatch, combined with him constantly reassuring himself that it was saving lives, made the turn very believable.

The pain of the original final two seasons almost seems worth it to see Deb's image at the end of Dexter's realization. Almost.

Excellent finale.

Yes! Thanks for summing it up in a way that I couldn't.
