Dr. Evelyn Vogel is the latest mother figure to violently exit Dexter's life in 'Goodbye, Miami'
의해 Jeff Jensen @ EW
For the 초 time in his life, 덱스터 모건 로스트 a mother. A "Goodbye, Miami" to you, too, Evelyn Vogel, the Doctor Franken-Shrinker who created the internal operating system for the unfeeling 터미네이터 that our "heroic" serial killer has been for most of his life. She was slain 의해 her biological son, Oliver (formerly Daniel), Dexter’s latest, last doppelganger and the measure of the monster he could have been: A child of tragedy, warped 의해 neglect, who never benefitted from rehabilitating 사랑 또는 a structuring moral “code,” who can now be nothing 더 많이 than the small, sinister thing that he is, a furious sociopath with a gleeful 사랑 for slaughter. 덱스터 wanted to put this rabid runt down, and Vogel had (reluctantly) come to see and agree with the wisdom of this revolting mercy: Watching the video Oliver had made of braining Dexter-wannabe Zach, Vogel realized her very bad boy was beyond correction. But Oliver was immediately suspicious of the 차 party trap they had set for him. (Was it the creepy-odd Natural Born Killers mood-lighting of Evelyn’s sitting room? So strange.) “The Brain Surgeon” murdered Vogel right in front of 덱스터 in a staged moment that cast 덱스터 in the role of voyeur at the lewdest of peep shows -- as well as his younger self. Once again, 덱스터 was forced again to watch a madman destroy his mother with a showy, gory, psychically violating violence. Arriving at Vogel’s house on the canal, 덱스터 was stopped in his tracks in the yard 의해 a phone call from Oliver, who threw open the curtain of the living room window with a flourish. 덱스터 saw Vogel standing behind the glass, looking defeated, hopeless, alone. Then commenced the horror. “Mother chose the wrong son,” said Oliver, a reference to Vogel’s treachery, and also, for us, an allusion to Dexter’s biological bro, who was also at ground zero of The Shipping Yard Massacre, and who, like Oliver, grew up Harry-less, codeless, and Ice Cream Truck deviant. With 덱스터 ogling, Oliver dragged a 칼, 나이프 across Evelyn’s throat. It was deep cut. 당신 could practically hear the rrrrrrrrrip. 덱스터 screamed and kicked down the door and held Vogel in his arms as she gurgled, choked, and booted. Oliver? Escaped; gone; in the wind.
And so, unintentionally, Dr. Vogel fulfills her redemptive function in Dexter's last story: Facilitating some healing regression therapy. Her death allows the adult 덱스터 to experience anew an analogous version of the childhood event that has defined his entire life. Dex can now respond in two ways: He can choose to be the 덱스터 he has always been; 또는 he can choose to be something different, maybe something better. Either way, Adult 덱스터 can choose who he wants to be, rather than having a persona imprinted upon him 의해 the adults in his life. Surely all of this will be settled once 덱스터 gets Oliver tethered to his kill table. If 덱스터 puts him through the ritual, 덱스터 is reinforcing Dirty Harry-Vogel Dexter. If 덱스터 spares him, 덱스터 is cleaning his slate, choosing to become a new creation of his own design. We shall see. And soon. Only two episodes left.
In other developments:
+Deb quit Elway's employ and rejoined Miami PD.
+Jamie was accepted into a prestigious professional program for special needs therapists in Atlanta. She was flattered and relished the affirmation, but wanted to turn it down. She wanted to stay in Miami and build a life with Quinn...
+But Quinn, wanting Jamie to fulfill her dream and realizing he still carried a torch for Deb, broke up with her. Then he and Deb smooched.
+Dexter resigned from Miami Metro (his hug with Angel: awwww!) as he continued to make arrangements to leave Miami with Hannah and Harrison and build a new life Argentina. But U.S. Marshal Cooper continues to hunt Hannah, and he's becoming increasingly convinced that Dex and Deb know 더 많이 than they're telling.
+And as 당신 might have surmised, James Hibberd is not 글쓰기 this "recap," such as it is. Your faithful 덱스터 chronicler is on assignment, and even then, he tried last night to file a recap from... well, wherever he is in the world -- nobody will tell me; somewhere deep beyond The Wall, I suspect -- but he was lacking for a good Internet connection. God bless that hard working man. He'll be back 다음 week. We hope. I saw this episode of 덱스터 about a week ago, so if I'm not accurately recollecting the details, I hope you'll forgive me, and please, 의해 all means, correct me. I'll tweak anything egregious and note the change in the text. The message board is yours.
