As far as controversial TV endings go, Dexter is pretty high up there, but the original series finale was actually hinted at by a Trinity Killer scene in season 4. As Dexter tries to hide his own murderous identity from those around him, he tracks down killers who evade the justice system as well as whichever serial killer the Miami Metro PD is hunting. For much of the fourth season, Dexter uses his own methods to find the notorious Trinity Killer, a man believed to be an FBI myth as he went undetected performing ritualistic murders for 30 years.
Before realizing just how dangerous Trinity is, Dexter befriends him under an alias, admiring him as someone who can maintain a seemingly normal family while keeping his killer persona secret.
John Lithgow won an Emmy for his frightening work as Mitchell and was arguably a pivotal character on the show, a foil for Dexter who could seemingly balance his double life as a serial killer with his role as a husband and father.
In some ways, Dexter finally found someone he could relate to as a person, at least when it came to his most primal desires and the justifications for his actions. By killing Rita, however, the Trinity Killer — an abusive man toward his own family — put an end to Dexter's dream of "having it all" as both a murderer and family man. Dexter kills Mitchell and the Trinity Killer persona along with him, but Dexter's inner peace is still years away.
We can speculate about how Arthur will return to the show, but Lithgow apparently is only working for about a day on the set, per Deadline. If this is the case, it would seem that his character won't be a consistent presence during the revival.
We also don't expect him to portray someone other than Mitchell, as the Trinity Killer is still one of the most unsettling characters in all of TV. There must be a specific reason that Lithgow has rejoined the show, and for this, we need to look deeply into the personality of Dexter. Did they just use John Lithgow twice in the series and think no one would notice?
Or did I absolutely miss something? Actually he searched dexter morgan in a search engine and found an address for him at his OLD apartment, which was now debs, the search engine did not have dexter's new address Debra Morgan? They told this to Dexter. Rita and Harrison say goodbye to Dexter as they depart for the airport. Dexter immediately continues his hunt for Arthur, and his first stop is the Mitchell house.
At some point, Rita returns home for her forgotten I. While Dexter is at the Mitchell home, the police conduct a raid there and he initially hides in the garage. When Arthur picks up his car after he kills Rita , Dexter follows him until it breaks down.
He then captures Arthur and takes him to a kill room in the bomb shelter. Arthur now knows that Dexter is a serial killer, not an extortionist. Rita's death still does not makes much sense. Apart from the fact that how Artur found Dexter's actual address is not revealed, Rita went in a taxi with her baby son and returned just to get his identification papers.
He then caresses the wood and covers it with a tarp. When Arthur chastises his son for not waxing the car correctly, Dexter notes the "small cracks in the perfect family. Arthur's wife, Sally, brings him a glass of pink lemonade and mentions that his clothes are ready to be packed. Dexter learns that Arthur is going to a build site in Tampa the next day, without his family.
Dexter obtains permission from Lt. LaGuerta and his wife to supposedly attend a meteorological conference in Tampa. He tucks it in among his clothes and shuts his suitcase. At the end of the school day, Arthur is about to take off on his Tampa trip when Dexter suddenly appears outside his van. Arthur relents when Dexter says that he gives him a sense of purpose, and remarks on his generosity of spirit.
Dexter only says he made a big mistake, and Arthur accuses him of being purposely vague. While Dexter eats a burrito from a vending machine, Arthur sips a soda. He pressures Dexter to reveal his problem, saying that he wants to help because good deeds are rewarded by God. Arthur says remorse is what separates us from the animals, and confession is good for the soul.
Dexter finds Arthur standing outside his door, poised to knock. Dexter wonders what kind of surprise. However, Arthur is already waiting in the parking lot, holding two coffees.
Arthur parks at a small suburban house , runs to the door, and frantically knocks and rings the bell. An Asian man thinks they are salesmen, but Arthur says he grew up in this house. Dexter bows to the couple and runs up after Arthur. Arthur is standing at the bathroom door. This is where it all started, Arthur says. He goes on to tell Dexter that when he was ten, he was innocently watching his sister, Vera, take a shower. Vera was startled when she saw him in the mirror, causing her to slip, shatter the shower doors, and slice her femoral artery.
Before the ambulance arrived, Vera had bled to death. Born in blood, Dexter thought. Both of us. Arthur was blamed by his parents for her death. Overcome with depression, his mother killed herself. His alcoholic father would beat him and call him a pervert. When Arthur says his father is dead, Dexter suspects that Arthur killed him. Embracing Dexter, Arthur asks if he feels better.
Dexter and Arthur are seated in a hotel coffee shop, Under the ruse of using the restroom, Dexter ducks out into the lobby, where the convention is being held. He signs up as proof that he attended and takes a photo with a weatherman. Dexter promptly returns to the coffee shop. However, Arthur isn't at their table. Instead, he's sitting in a corner booth with a clearly uncomfortable family of four.
Arthur is on a tangent about speaking the truth and he invites Dexter to confess his own sins. Instead, Dexter forces Arthur to leave the family in peace. Once outside, Dexter suggests stopping at a hardware store to pick up items for donation to the Four Walls build.
After Arthur leaves, Dexter sets up a kill room in the bathroom. Unfortunately, Arthur is not there. Dexter takes off running to the build site. As he stalks through the partially built house, he hears the thud of Arthur dropping his tool belt. Looking up, he sees Arthur standing on the edge of the roof. Dexter quickly grabs Arthur as he falls, but Arthur begs Dexter to let go. Dexter weighs whether to keep him alive just to kill him.
But God had another plan. He sent you to save me. Not exactly, Dexter thought. Dexter is viewed as a hero, as he secretly vows to not spare Arthur again. Nearing the city, they approach a police checkpoint. As he drives away, Arthur begins to laugh. Dexter is parked outside Arthur's house. Dexter follows Jonah to a deserted area and finds him beating the car with a baseball bat. Dexter offers to go with Jonah when he breaks the news to Arthur about the damaged car.
Dexter begins helping Arthur and Sally prepare the meal. Arthur grumbles that Jonah seems to have forgotten the holiday. His wife assures Arthur that Jonah knows how important Thanksgiving is to him and he will be there.
In response, Arthur gives her a cold look. Arthur remarks that he has at least one perfect child. Arthur finds that ridiculous and expounds on why traditions matter. At that moment, Jonah arrives home, driving the damaged car. Angrily, Arthur walks to the garage and returns with a crowbar.
He wedges it into the wheel well, pulls out a dent, and declares that the car is now fit to drive. During the plays, Arthur yells at the television, but Jonah remains calm. Thinking that Jonah is safe, Dexter excuses himself. More disturbing are the locks on the window and the door. Dexter wanders into the front yard, where Rebecca is cutting roses.
He asks about the locks and, startled, she says they are there to "protect" her. In the living room, Arthur cheers a good play. Outside, Rebecca tells Dexter that she once ran away, with terrible consequences. Rebecca leans in for a kiss, just as Sally appears and orders her into the house.
A terrified Sally tells Dexter that she doesn't care what he does with her daughter, but begs him not to tell Arthur. She hurries back inside, leaving Dexter appalled. Dexter receives a call from Rita. He learns that Cody fell through the roof of his shed and Elliot took off the door to get him out.
The boy is unhurt but, with his secret space exposed, Dexter is eager to get home. Back into the living room, Dexter spots Jonah taping up his finger. He claims to have hit his hand against the table. At the dinner table, the Mitchell family and Dexter hold hands as Arthur says grace.
Sally is thankful for the lovely home and her kids. Rebecca is thankful for an extension on a school paper and for the nice home. Jonah is thankful for the home and for God. Watch the show. He yells that she is not Vera, nor is she a prisoner or still eight years old. Jonah grabs a Four Walls One Heart plaque and shatters a mirror with it. Infuriated, Arthur lunges toward Jonah.
Rebecca interferes, but her father tosses her across the room. Arthur attacks Jonah, pushes him down in a chair, and tightens his hands around his neck.
Sally and Rebecca fearfully hold on to each other. There, he slams the door and grabs a large knife. They throw themselves at Arthur and they embrace each other. Arthur appears to be terrified and Dexter quickly walks out, past a stunned Jonah. He then follows Arthur to a parking garage and begins to watch him.
When Arthur begins to stalk them, Dexter assumes the young woman is his target. At one point, the little boy goes off alone to play a game, and Arthur uses the info from the car decals to con him. He approaches the boy, calls him by his name, flashes a badge, and lies that his parents have been in a car accident.
He insists that Scott go with him to the hospital, assuring him that his sister is already in the patrol car. Scott believes Arthur and accompanies him to the parking garage. However, when Scott sees the van, he realizes that Arthur is lying, but it's too late. Arthur chloroforms him and shoves him into his van.
Dexter tries to unsuccessfully stop the kidnapping but Arthur squeals out of the garage. Dexter runs back to his car and receives a phone call. Dexter, though, thinks the boy will die. He has never known Arthur to take a child before and wonders if this is something new.
Dexter finds Jonah home alone and he learns that Arthur is on a trip for a couple of days. Just then, Sally and Rebecca arrive home and Dexter disappears. Scott wakes up in an underground bomb shelter furnished with bunk beds, a table, and shelves. Arthur is setting up a toy train railroad on the floor. When he finishes, Arthur watches it with childish glee, making sound effects as it loops around the track.
