The chase is on.Dexter's writers made a bold move at the end of "Shrink Wrap". They revealed The Ice Truck Killer to us, not only at an unexpected time but with an unexpected twist.
Then, for two agonizing episodes, they exploited audience irony to its maximum - forcing us to watch helplessly as Dexter and Deb had lunch with and made love to the man we knew was responsible for the horrific killings throughout the season.
But after "Truth Be Told", the playing field is level and the stakes are raised.
Rudy, if it's even worthwhile to call him that, has revealed his true nature to Deb and is taking her to a place with personal significance for the true object of his affection: Dexter. Meanwhile, our lovable super-killer had a breakthrough and realized Rudy's deception, but he's drawing the attention of Sgt. Doaks as he tries to quietly find a way to both confront his past and save the only person who really loves him.
The key question remaining: How did "Rudy" find out who Dexter really was (both as an individual and as a killer) and what is the purpose of all his plotting and manipulation? If the first 11 episodes of this brilliant show have taught me anything, I think I can have faith in the writers.
It's all set-up for what I expect to a mind-blowing season finale. And then onto Season 2.
