Dexter loved Rita and really cared about Lumen. The emotions he showed to the latter were really deep and sincere. However, none of those two were ever so close to Dexter as Deb is right now. And Dexter is being himself, maybe like he never was. I mean, he lies to Deb about Hannah by the end of the episode, but that IS him at his most true self. He cares about Deb, he loves her, and he wants to protect her more than anything. And that is why he has to lie, and doesn't want her to share his secrets. I think this is the most true Dexter has ever been to anyone (despite Lumen also getting very close to him), and that is why the show is so interesting right now.

We see a really cold and powerful Isaak Sirko, and he's driven now. He's not done with Dexter. Moreover, all he does has a motive, as we were shown in the scene with the apartment last episode, and that just adds to the mix. That is why he can't stop, no matter what. But neither can Dexter - so, one way or another, they are in collision course.

The mentions and references to other seasons are still too subtle to me, but Doakes' shadow reappearing over Dexter, Debra divided and close to her breaking point, Quinn turning to his dark side again, and all of that wrapped up with fine writing (finally back on track again, since season 4 or 5) and excellent acting, gives us one of the best shows in TV again.

Dexter is cleaning his boat getting ready for his son coming back while he talks to Harry about how these murders are effecting Debra. As Dexter cleans his boat he finds a lot of blood to someone who was killed on his boat that he was not responsible for. Vince tells Debra that LaGuerta is testing blood in another lab which belongs to Travis Marshall. Debra talks to LaGuerta and she is told that another blood slide was found leading LaGuerta to believe the bay harbor butcher is still out there. Debra goes into the elevator and cruses her way down to go talk to Dexter. She tells Dexter that LaGuerta is looking into cases involving three murders he committed. Only one of the three has a family in Miami so Dexter tells her how he killed one of them and she does not react well to it. Dexter is starting to notice someone is following him lately even seeing that Isaak was in his apartment waiting for him. When Isaack arrives where the call tells him to go he calls him to find why he was at his apartment. Isaak then threatens to hurt Debra or anyone who helped him kill Victor but Dexter tells him it was just him. Dexter then has to tell Debra about more murders and that she may be in trouble. Debra does not react well especially since she is covering up many murders so Dexter plans to keep everyone safe by fighting against Isaac. Dexter then starts his stack of Isaac following anyway he can. Just as Dexter starts his search he is called by Angel to talk to Hannah McKay about the bodies that the police needed to find. Hannah tells of how Wayne killed so many people and buried them near motels. Angel leaves Dexter and Hannah talking while he try's to look more into her. Dexter and Debra settle into their motel and he will not tell her the plan. She then talks about how she did not expect to be in this room hiding from a dangerous man. Hannah and Dexter at the dig talk about Murder like it's just normal talk. LaGuerta helps Dexter as she interviews the son of Barns. While looking through the pictures Debra sees Dexter is in one of them getting LaGuerta to bring them back to the station. While looking at the bodies Dexter sees that the women was killed by someone smaller then Wayne maybe Hannah. Dexter then tells Hannah she lied but she has immunity covering her involvement. When Dexter is leaving the crime scene he sees Isaac is right behind him following him. Dexter is then followed as he is chased with a gun. Angel then comes into Debra's office to say he feels Alex's suicide was forced. The police department are called to the bar Dexter was just at, it shows that Isaac killed everyone in the bar instead of him being killed. Quinn is called of to meet with his club girlfriend to give her a lift. When the blood is tested the find a match that is Isaac. Angel comes back into Debra's office to talk about Alex not being responsible for Mike's murder. Debra turns him down Angel to cover up for Dexter telling him he does not have the evidence he needs. Dexter goes to talk to Isaac with a glass window between the two. Isaac gives a speech about his past and they two are now in a rivalry. Debra gives Dexter the photo of him at the wedding with her saying she will not cover up for him anymore. Dexter does not tell Debra that he thinks Hannah may have been involved in the murders by Wayne.Dexter sets fire to the photo leaving him by himself with no more help from her.

EPISODE GRADE: A- (MVP: Michael C. Hall)

1. Deb knows that Laguerta knows about the blood slide 2. Isaac is arrested and has a stand-off with Dex 3. Dexter burns a photo.

Debra ordering Angel to back down was a crucial moment. It meant that Deb chose Dex over true justice. Dex and Debs relationship is so complex. They are siblings, coworkers, partners in crime... and so far it's being unwrapped expertly. Dexter still hides the truth from Deb and she is probably aware as well. Season 7 has not let me down at all.

The whole scene with Isaac was fantastic. What a great addition to the show. Dex is facing an entire mafia - which is by far the most difficult task he's ever had to face. A worthy opponent that engages the viewer simply because Dexter can't kill the mob one by one by himself.

Solid episode.

This episode begins with Dexter, his relationship with Deb is back on an okay level. Dexter discovered the blood on his boat, Louis has been killed by Isaak on his boat. Maria told to Deb that she found a blood slide on the Travis Marshall crime scene. Dexter discovered that Louis has been killed on his boat. Dexter had a phone conversation with Isaak. Dexter is in real danger now. Angel and Dexter interview Hannah to find corpses back. Dexter and Deb moved to a hotel to be save from Isaak. Deb and Maria visit Tyler Barnes, his father has been killed by Dexter in the past. Hannah killed a woman, Dexter discovered this but he is protecting her. Dexter got followed by Isaak. Isaak killed 3 Columbians at a bar, Dexter setup this plan to arrest Isaak. Isaak got arrested by the police, Dexter's plan worked. Dexter visits Isaak at jail. Deb shows the picture from a wedding to Dexter, he killed a man and this was evidence to arrest Dexter. Dexter burns the photo. Nice episode of Dexter Season 7, Isaak has been taken down. But this doesn't mean that Dexter and his friends and family are save!

(S7. E5) My Reaction / Review for Dexter Season 7 Episode 5 ''Swim Deep'': Episode 4 was good and I gave it a rating of 9/10. Let's see if this one is better or worse. I knew that at some point laguerta would try to prove that Doakes was innocent. Sirko just wont let go, he wants Dexter dead. Hannah looks guilty of something to me. Is Angel the only one who knows that the barman's death was a set up? I really wanna see Sirko on Dexter's table so much. Dex's plan to get Sirko killed was very smart but Sirko is really good with a gun. So is Sirko going to jail? Probably not for long. Overall a really good episode, my rating is 9/10.
