How the hell was she being a selfish douche in this episode? She was handling everyfuckingthing about the funeral all on her own, cleaned up the murder scene, took care of his child.
What else did you want her to do?
Not fuck somebody on her brother's dead wife's floor maybe? I think wiping your murdered in-law's blood off your hands and immediately then fucking someone on their floor is generally considered in poor taste.
You know banging a random just to feel some kind of physical closeness is a pretty common thing to do with grief. I am pretty sure cleaning the blood of your brother's wife of the floor would be a pretty extreme activity.
I'm not saying that people don't do it. I'm saying that if you do do it in the place where a family member was just murdered and whose blood is still literally on your hands, you're kinda fucked up.
Dexter's emotional withdrawal is pretty silly. It is actually completely normal for someone to shut down after trauma like that. To immediately jump to "Man what if he's a serial killer what if he killed Rita?!?!" is a really big jump to make from a guy being in shock from his wife's death. It's actually the time when Dexter's emotions wouldn't be questioned at all.
That's what everybody thinks. It's just Quinn who suspects him because they have history, but he's right that refusing to investigate the husband when his wife is murdered in their home is pretty ridiculous.

They were wearing gloves, so they didn't have any blood on their hands. And I think you're really overreacting to the other point, I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like they were doing it in the bathroom.

Joon wanted to deb to say "excuse me Quinn. I am so over whelmed with grief that I am going to suggest that we drive back to my place and have spontaneous consensual sex in about twenty minutes."
This was good, but I felt like it wasn't quite as good as I wanted it to be. I think it started off very strongly, but kind of withered away after Dexter told the kids the news.
And I actually didn't like the
spontaneous bathroom kill. Because it was kind of obvious it was going to happen. They basically made the guy act as prickishly as possible in 10 seconds of screen time, to justify Dexter's actions.
I hope that comes back to bite him in the ass for this reason. Because he should be a lot more concerned about it than he apparently was.

Well they kinda had to make the guy a prick for Dex to justify getting that mad to attack him. I don't think it was justified of course, as Dex made it clear last season that only being an asshole doesn't get you on the list.

Except for we saw her washing her hands with red all over them.

No, I wanted her to think "Wow, I just scrubbed up my in-law's blood and need to deal with a lot of grief! Perhaps having random sex in the same location as my family member's murder would be an unwise move."
I get it, people deal with grief in weird ways. I suppose I just have this crazy notion that having a bad day or week doesn't mean that everything you do is totally excusable. That there are shitty ways to deal with grief. Stop trying to put words in my mouth, Blake.

She was rinsing out a cloth.
i suppose that cloth was filled with raspberry juice and not blood.

He was just like. "Rar. K, Im'a go back home now"
What happened should have been a huge deal. So I hope it becomes one. I have a feeling it will.

angel is kind of suspicious when he listens to the tape, the other lab guy is also pretty certain he did it.

I fail to see your point
Unless you're implying that the traces of blood, invisible to the naked eye, that would be on her hands from rinsing out the cloth are significant to the morality of her actions

It was kind of annoying to me how suddenly Dexter was such a terrible actor. I understand though it was because he didn't want to act.
Viscount Islands on
I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
Yeah that's what I meant when I say he didn't want to act.
I don't think it's that Dexter has been "acting" all this time and just stopped - he really did grow as a person over the course of the show. Rita's death shocked back into his former state for a little while, and he didn't notice at first how badly it affected him.
this will be the first time in long time that Dex has almost no responsibilities sans work.
And this is what could make for interesting drama and a rough season for Dex.
Dexter has always been about balancing real life with his killing. If he doesn't have to do that anymore- what is to keep him from just being a monster? With no work, no kids (nanny), he's running out of the things that keep him human.
Alternatively- he could just become a character no one empathizes with.

I'm liking this theory. It would be a good problem for him to struggle with.
Now that he killed another innocent man, season 2 was the first I believe, the monster in him must be hard to contain. And this one wasn't an accident. This was an emokill.

I'm almost positive he'll end up killing the woman in cold blood. Although more than likely she'll die accidentally but it would be neat if the writers took a bold chance.

Well, that was Julia Stiles, so she'll probably be around for a few more episodes at least.
It seems obvious that they'v set up a situation where Dexter
is going to be looking after this girl, whilst at the same time trying to keep her quiet about what she saw.
Also, the girl is going to have a "fuzzy memory" of what she saw since she seemed very out of it when she stumbled down that stairwell, and Dexter is going to bend that to his will. But yeah, eventually Dexter is going to be in hot water.
And am I the only one who is really relieved to see almost his entire family
No because season 4 isn't massively based around the season 3 finale.
Like the entire episode was
RITA WAS DEAD, RITA WAS DEAD.
Now i'm spoiling that cause I'm polite but really statue of limitations buddy. They are hardly going to get people watching the show if they don't actually talk about it.
Statute of limitations? That was a fairly narrow window if you are marketing the dvd to non-subscribers (maybe they aren't!). The issue could have been avoided by removing a split second from the tv promo. You probably disagree, but it was a bummer for someone who actively avoided spoilers.
Anyhow, I've caught up and noticed something from the end of season 4/beginning season 5. Maybe it has been covered:
There was blood all over the floor outside of Rita's bathtub. They emphasized Arthur's meticulousness early in season 4. Maybe Arthur was in a rush plus the added effect of having Dexter's son be "born in blood." Unless Elliot killed her copycat style out of jealousy.

i thought it was because he actually did care about his wife and was actually emotionally affected by something for once and it threw him off-guard.
