I also think this could get pinned on Dexter. What's his alibi? "I couldn't have killed Rita because I was in the process of hunting down the Trinity killer and then going to kill him."
The police dept could ask so many questions about where he was when Rita was killed? And then why did he get home so late? Is it also possible they trace where the Trinity's van was left and where Dexter was arrested a couple days before the murder? I think there are lots of loose ends and the Rita murder could be pinned on Dexter.

as much as I despised Rita. I did not like seeing her in that bathtub.
This, plus I had been saying I wanted her gone, then I felt guilty hahaha.
Do the other kids go back to their paternal or maternal grandparents since Dex isn't their father? Or did he adopt them or are there no other family for them? Could be an interesting story line... as long as he kills some motherfrickers in the process

i agree totally and after season 2...i suspected the same thing and season three had a season starting like season 2 never existed.....so its hard to say...
...the real quesiton will be "why" did trinity target dexter's wife?....what i can figure out is trinity didnt play the demonic serial killer who doesnt care about dying because he already got rita and give away some kinda hint to dexter or at least bust him in the mouth with it.....i mean this only reminds me of the movie SEVEN and the ending....the finale would have been better if the task force would have found trinity at dexter's house right after he murdered rita and everyone is waiting to tell dexter.....
he will probably lie and say he drove to the keys and she wasnt there and came home and she was there....he does have his walet/all that money/someone had to have seen trinity walk into the station and maybe recognize him once the pic was put up in the office once deb broke the case...dex still has lundy's folders(or did he dispose them)...

My biggest thing is what if it wasn't trinity at all. He never killed anyone out of his pattern. How did he know he was found like that when he was younger? Did he tell trinity?

i had put some thought into this also, and i have no answer
unless it was purely coincedence that the baby was in the blood pool

Everyone is forgetting that the FBI took over the case. Dexter will have to answer to them and not Miami PD.

That is what I was thinking. How did Trinity know about Dexter's youth.
Some off the wall thinking, maybe it was Debra. Maybe Harry also taught her the code, and she killed Rita out of jealousy or to protect Dexter from her infidelities. She knows how Trinity kills and could have did it to make it look like him.

I think maybe we're overthinking it and it was just coincidence.

You guys are way overthinking this. It was purely coincidence that Harryson was left in the bathroom the same as Dex has been (not bathroom but still.) The only way for Arthur to have known that was if Dex had told him (and he didn;t) ar that he somehow would have known that the CI Moser was his mother which we know he couldn;t have known because Deb just found out and had been digging into that shite for weeks.
No...Arthur had enough time after going to Dex's old aprtment only to find out it was Deb's now to do another search and find Dex's new crib. when he got there (remember, he assumed Dex had his money which he needed/wanted) he likely found Rita and simply killed her out of anger at what Dexter had been putting him through. it wasn't part of his pattern, just a straight up FU to Dex. Dropping the baby there was just extra.
When Dex had him on his table, Arthur had NO CLUE at first what Dexter was. He had basically concluded that Dexter was simply a shitty cop who was trying to shake down a seria killer...no clue he was being hunted by one of his own kind.
As for how he handles the aftermath...not sure. Lithgow is kind of memorable so you'd think that Batista may remember him standing in the office...but maybe not. But there will have to be questions about Rita's death and why the Trinity Killer would pick her and seeemingly out of pattern (since there would likely not be a coresponding missing 10 year old boy and she had three kids not two.) Honestly, I think what we're leading up to is how the first book ended...with Deb finaly knowing what Dex is...and being ok with it. Just not sure how they get there...
Outstanding season, btw.

Well...not really a spoiler given that even the first book was FAR different than the show. I've just always wondered whether or not they'd try to bring that aspect into he show. nothing that happened really made me think they were...just a guess.
Sorry of that was a spolier to the book for you. It's been discussed in these Dexter threads a bunch so I didn;t think to spolier it.

are you seriously asking who killed rita?

Yeah Dex is definitely about to be put under the microscope again. Quinn already thinks he's a good-for-nothing shitbag. In the span of 24 hours or so, Dex punched out Quinn, got arrested for fleeing the scene of an accident and being unruly to an officer, miraculously appeared at Trinity's house before the other cops, and found his wife murdered with Trinity's MO. Quinn will probably be pushing to investigate Dex while the rest of the station tries to have his back.
For the record, Quinn is no Doakes.

He probably followed Trinity from the mechanic and they just didn't show it.

I completely agree with Quinn. He's been an enigma since he joined the show and he obviously doesn't like Dexter.
Dexter's going to definitely feel some heat before he moves on to life without a family and everything that goes with that.

As for Dex finding Trinity, apparently wikipedia is more observant than you or I:
quote:I guess it makes the most sense that he was in the trunk, just didn't pick up on it immediately.
Dexter then sees Arthur's Mustang is gone so he goes to a body shop and hides in the trunk, when the car breaks down later that night after Arthur has picked it up (thanks to Dexter) Dexter jumps out and attacks him, choking him until he's unconscious. Arthur wakes up in a kill room with Dexter waiting. They converse and Arthur says it is a sign from God that Dexter is killing him. Dexter kills him with a framing hammer. When he returns home he finds Rita (who had returned home after leaving behind her ID) in the bathtub, trinity's last victim, and Dexter's son, Harrison, is sitting in a pool of Rita's blood on the bathroom floor.

The writers have to be really careful.
The only reason most people can accept Dexter as a protagonist is because he A) only kills people who deserve it, B) has been steadily gaining some elements of human emotion, C) has a sympathetic element because of his own childhood, and D)is at least attempting to control his "dark passenger".
If Dexter becomes too callous or vicious, he will cease to be a viable character for many viewers. Ironies are becoming cliche'. People want to see redemption for a character like Dexter, not a situation where he will ultimately have to be put down like a dog because he is "unfixable".

it just doesn't add up.
Dex sends Rita off to the airport and he goes to Arthurs house. I'm guessing Arthur kills Rita while Dex is at his house? It's the only time frame that works. Plus they never say what time Rita called Dex. But he didn't have a vehicle so it's unknown how he got around.
