If they don't catch the skinner and the police department indeed believes that he killed Prado I wonder if we'll see Carradine back next season to solve the case.

I liked Carradine quite a bit, but I'd be afraid Deb would try to rekindle their fling, and I'm more than bored with Deb's love life. Every season there's been at least one person and every season she's come out of it still single. It's not the flings so much as it is her incessant whining when things aren't going the way she wants them to go.

I too was one that wanted to see Miguel live on, but only IF he was on the same side as Dexter, and if we'd see a good team-up. Now that we know that's not the case, this episode outcome was good.

Still, it seems a little strange that we keep getting new cast members each season and we return back to the core cast at the end of that season (or less, due to Doakes.). Can one new cast member ever stay for another season? Maybe Quinn can do so. We'll see.

I hope Quinn and Deb live happily ever after.

The "dream" part was Dexter wishing he could have a friend he could trust to share his secret life with.

The "had" part occurred right after Dexter strangled Prado (or possibly when he was trapped in the trunk, thinking he was going to die because of his dream).

Interesting that Dexter had Miguel bound in the killing room with plastic sheets but then
Spoiler:
(according to the shot of Miguel's body in the prieviews) did not dismember him the way he did with his other victims
. I chalk it up to 2 things: Dexter's passion for ritual (i.e. Harry's code) and his desire to screw with Miguel's mind--having witnessed and participated in the ritual, Miguel was probably expecting to be dismembered.

Your post contains an extremely mild thing from the preview for the finale, but in this forum everything from the previews get spoiler tagged. Please edit your post.

^^^ It's not really a spoiler, considering Dexter said he was going to pin Miguel's death on the Skinner.

Jimmy Smits should have got his own spinoff rather than be killed. He's too good of an actor.

It's inevitable, you find out about Dexter's Dark Passenger, and you'll be taking the proverbial dirt nap soon.

Spoiler:
He didn't dismember the body because he's trying to make it look like the Skinner killed Miguel. While the plastic sheets covering the room could be just ritual, I would think that it's really just an added precaution so that absolutely no traceable evidence of any kind can be found.
