In this season, As Deb struggles to deal with the consequences of her actions, a mysterious woman comes to work with Miami Metro, offering first-hand information on Dexter’s past.
Dexter is gone, put down after eight seasons (three of which were too many) by masters that finally realized that old age wasn't doing this wheezy, arthritic dog any favors.

The show had never fully recovered from the devastation wreaked by season four's main villain the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), and this final run has played out that inferiority, being patchy, unfocused and, at times, sloppy.
It's almost as if the writers intended to punish -- rather than reward -- the fans who had stuck with them through thick and thin in a scheme more diabolical than anything Dexter himself might dream up.
First the good news, Dexter didn't conclude its eighth and final season with a credulity-straining happy ending. The bad news is that the ending we did get didn't make a lot of sense.
