1. Dexter has three people or groups of people out to get him.
2. It's not clear, at this point in the season -- with just two episodes left -- which of these enemies if any will succeed.
It looked, at the end of episode 1.7, that Batista had a pretty good shot. I thought, then, that Dexter would see he had no choice but to kill his former colleague from Florida. But Dexter does a pretty good job of confusing and eluding Batista in 1.8, which leads me to think that Dexter may not need to do the worst to survive this danger. Good news for people like me who enjoy even when Cuban food is just talked about.
That leaves Leon Prater (played by Peter Dinklage) and Charley his deadly sidekick (played by Uma Thurman). In addition to being played by top-notch power-exuding actors, and even though they clearly don't agree on everything, the two are beginning to close in on what Dexter is and what he has done to Prater's precious club. Charley is already telling Prater about her suspicion of Dexter, and judging by the closing scene, Prater is beginning to act on this. And--
There's a third group: NYPD Detective Wallace and her associate Detective Oliva. Their wheels grind more slowly than Prater's and Batista's, who have personal grievances against Dexter (to say the least) and have no need to respect the law in New York City. If I was forced to choose, I'd say this last group is mostly likely to succeed, or come closest to succeeding.
Dexter dying seems out of the question, first because it happened already and he survived, and second, Paramount surely wouldn't want to cancel such a superb series. On the other hand, looked what just happened to Dexter: Origin Sin, which I'm still hoping will find a life elsewhere.
