loved this episode.

i don't understand why people say stuff like, oh Dexter would never make this mistake, he is too meticulous, oh Dexter would sit blankly in the electric chair because he is empty. Clearly Dexter is moving towards being more human, having more feelings, understanding himself better, etc. In fact he is realizing that his 'need' and his emptiness is not 'him', it is what his childhood experience made him become. there is a good explanation and cause for what he is and its conceivable that it could be reversed. He is making more mistakes because his world is falling apart, everything is changing, he is becoming less of a monster and more of a human.

Ya that is clearly one of the key underlying themes of the season thus far. This started last season when he had a decision to make between joining Rudy/Brian or saving Deb and he chose to save Deb and it continued this season as he is letting his guard down.
