Dexter Morgan: Season Six

This page has a disambiguation page, here.

Dexter Morgan is the protagonist of both Showtime's television series DEXTER and the Dexter Novels.

In the sixth season, Dexter's and Miami Metro Homicide's investigations follow into a string of bizarre ritualistic killings featuring religious apocalyptic symbolism.

Summary[]

Over a year has passed since Lumen Pierce departed and Dexter continues to kill murderers. He has the assistance of a new nanny named Jamie Batista (the kid sister to Angel Batista, one of Dexter's closest colleagues at work) to watch over his son Harrison when Dexter is busy.

Two ambulance drivers - Ben and Roger - are ambushed and killed by Dexter. They were paramedics who purposely let their patients die so that a doctor could harvest their organs. Both men die simultaneously, when Dexter stops their hearts with a defibrillator.

Dexter then attends his High School Reunion at Alan B. Shepard High (despite the conflict with his age [1]). He is there to hunt down old classmate Joe Walker, whom he believes had a hand in the death of his wife, Janet Walker. Immediately after high school, Joe married Janet (who was one of the only people that spoke to Dexter in high school) and moved to Virginia. Three years before the reunion, Janet was found dead with a gun in her hand, an apparent suicide.

Dexter notices blood under Janet's fingernails, which leads him to believe there is more to her death. After matching a sample of Joe's blood with the sample found under Janet’s fingernails, Dexter has all the proof he needs that Joe is guilty. He captures Joe, and after, Dexter questions him about his religious beliefs, Dexter kills Joe by slamming him in the face with a sledge hammer then stabbing him in the chest.

Harrison is now old enough to attend preschool. Dexter wants to pass on the right principles to his son, and reluctantly chooses religion as something that might normalize and give structure to Harrison’s life. However, Dexter's atheism conflicts with Harrison's religious preschool.

As he contemplates the value of religion, he finds some understanding through Brother Sam, an ex-con and murderer. Brother Sam is now a born-again Christian who counsels other ex-cons. Dexter initially sees Brother Sam's religious conversion as a scam, but Brother Sam proves himself a changed man. He even helps Dexter through a crisis when Harrison undergoes an appendectomy.

Julio Benes, the leader of the street gang the Locos, comes to Dexter's attention after he and two other gang members show up at Brother Sam's auto shop looking for Nick, an ex-con and mechanic. Even under the threat of death, Sam doesn't give Nick over. Dexter acts quickly, hitting Leo Hernandez with a baseball bat and revealing that he is with Miami Metro Homicide. Julio and his boys retreat, but not before Julio mentions Hector Nunez, and how he was never found. Dexter then abducts Julio, and kills him in Hector's barber shop by slitting his throat.

After that kill, Dexter begins to stalk an elderly serial killer. Walter Kenney is the notorious "Tooth Fairy Killer" who killed fifteen prostitutes during the eighties in the state of Oregon. He fell under Dexter's radar after the discovery of Rosalia Davolos' body and noticing her missing tooth. Dexter, realizing that the killer would be at least seventy years old, investigates a nearby retirement home. After distracting the receptionist, he searches the database for residents from Oregon, and comes across Walter Kenney.

Dexter finds a way to meet Walter and discovers that he's missing his lateral incisor, which is the same tooth removed from all of The Tooth Fairy's victims. However, Walter becomes aware that Dexter is associated with the police, and lures him into his own trap. He calls Dexter to pick him up and then pulls a gun on him. Dexter then purposefully crashes his car, which enables him to capture Walter and take him back to his own room in the retirement home. Rather than going through his ritual with Walter, Dexter decides to smother him to make it look like a heart attack. Afterward, he dumps Walter’s "trophies" of teeth into the ocean, so nobody will ever know he was "The Tooth Fairy," thus destroying his legacy.

Vince Masuka's new intern, Louis Greene, has a strong fascination with Dexter as well as The Bay Harbor Butcher and The Ice Truck Killer.

Things go awry when Brother Sam is shot in his garage. Dexter realizes that Nick, a friend of Sam, is responsible for the shooting and swears revenge. Sam forgives Nick on his deathbed and implores Dexter to also forgive him. Nick initially appears remorseful, and Dexter considers the path of forgiveness over retribution. But Nick's remorse proves to be an act. When Nick begins to laugh and brag about what he did, it enrages Dexter and he drowns Nick in the surf of Biscayne Bay.

After Dexter breaks his promise to Sam and kills Nick, Dexter's darkness takes over in the guise of Brian Moser. Dexter decides to go after Arthur Mitchell's son, Jonah, who Dexter suspects killed his mother and sister. Dexter tracks Jonah to Nebraska with the intent of killing him, but changes his mind after listening to Jonah. He says that his sister (due to abuse from their mother) committed suicide in a bathtub, and he became so enraged at his mother that he bludgeoned her. Guilt-ridden, Jonah begs Dexter to kill him. After learning what happened, Dexter reaffirms himself to the Code of Harry and returns to Miami, leaving Jonah alive to forgive himself.

Norm is an illegal pot farmer and the owner of the Shady Lane Motel in Nebraska, where Dexter rents a room. Dexter never intended to kill Norm, but after Norm steals his knives and holds a gun on Dexter, demanding $10,000 before he will return them, Dexter grabs a nearby pitchfork and stabs Norm in the stomach. Dexter disposes of the body in a corn silo.

The Doomsday Killer

Back in Miami, Dexter continues to investigate "The Doomsday Killer," a serial killer who models his crimes after the Book of Revelation. At first, he thinks the murders are being committed by two people - a fanatically religious college professor named Professor James Gellar and his protegé, Travis Marshall. Dexter tracks Travis down, but balks at killing him, believing that Travis has a conscience and is simply being led down the wrong path.

When Dexter follows Travis to an old church and discovers Gellar's body in a freezer, he realizes that Travis is acting alone. Travis, who has been hallucinating Gellar, is forced to accept Gellar's death and begins to think that Dexter is "The False Prophet." He then captures Dexter and enacts The Lake of Fire, although Dexter manages to escape. After swimming for hours, he is rescued by a fishing boat carrying Cubans bound for Florida. While on the boat, he kills the captain, Alberto, because he is threatening to rob the others with a gun. Dexter throws his body overboard.

Steve Dorsey and his wife, Beth, are followers of Travis Marshall aka The Doomsday Killer. Because Steve is wearing a hazmat suit on the Ricochet Rabbit (yacht), Dexter believes him to be Travis. He attempts to sedate Steve and a struggle ensues. Dexter grabs a knife and stabs Steve. When Dexter removes Steve’s mask, he is furious that it is not Travis. Before Steve dies, he tells Dexter that it is too late to stop Wormwood. Dexter leaves Steve’s body on the yacht and anonymously calls the police.

While Beth Dorsey is walking through the homicide dept with Debra Morgan, Dexter notices a picture of her with Steve Dorsey on a website. Realizing that the woman with Debra is Steve’s wife and that the bomb, Wormwood, is in her backpack, he rushes out of his lab. When Debra opens the door to an interview room, Dexter shoves Beth inside just seconds after she pulls the cord on the gas bomb. Dexter slams the door shut and holds it closed while Debra evacuates the station. Beth attempts to open the door, but fails. She vomits blood and then quickly dies. Dexter is considered a hero.

Travis kidnaps Harrison to sacrifice as the "Lamb of God" during the eclipse, but Dexter manages to rescue Harrison, drug Travis, and take him to the old church. That night, Debra walks into the church to tell Dexter how she feels about him, only to see Dexter plunge a knife into Travis Marshall's chest. The two look at each other in horror and Dexter mutters, "Oh God."
