"Dexter" - "Get Gellar"


Dexter finally gets Professor Gellar's student, Travis, to trust him in order to find Gellar and kill him before Miami Metro catches on and arrests him. Dexter takes Travis to a hotel so he can have a safe place to stay without worrying about Gellar coming after him. While Dexter is away, another murder takes place and it is clearly the work of the Doomsday Killer (Prof. Gellar) since it continues with the theme of the Book of Revelations. Miami Metro goes to the crime scene where another professor's dead body is lying on a table with his abdomen hollowed out. They are expecting this murder to include symbolism that leads to the Bowls of Wrath, but at first glance they don’t really see a connection. Then someone moves the professor’s arm when they notice that his hand has been chopped off and several bowls filled with blood are triggered to spill blood down on the heads of everyone standing under them. Dexter gets a call from Travis telling him to come to the abandoned church after we see a note written in blood on Travis’ hotel bathroom that tells him to bring the “false prophet” to the church. Dexter goes to the church and finds Travis unconscious lying on the ground. Dexter wanders around the church and ends up in the basement. Dexter looks around the room and finally finds a large freezer in the corner. When he opens it, Gellar’s frozen body is inside and has been in there for a long time, so we know that Travis has been doing the killings himself and has been acting as if Gellar is alive. I definitely did not expect this and it caught me off guard. This twist reminded me of the movie “Psycho” by Alfred Hitchcock and to me it was one of the better episodes this season.
