The following contains spoilers for Dexter: New Blood's eighth episode, "Unfair Game," which aired on Showtime on Dec 26. For more, check out our review of last week's episode, "Skin of Her Teeth."
"Unfair Game" could have easily wound up being a running-in-place entry for New Blood but instead, as we close in on the finish, it brought most everything to a head, building up to an exciting climax for both Dexter and Harrison as Kurt finally revealed what his "nice guy" act was all about.
But this week's episode went a long way in explaining much of this. Sure, Kurt's ability to ingratiate himself to Harrison mostly worked because of a series of convenient misunderstandings between him and Dexter, but finding out that Kurt's plan, since the first time he came by to thank Harrison for what he'd done to protect the school, was to kill Harrison in front of Dexter -- that was pretty freakin' cool. Kurt has known Dexter killed his son since right after Episode 3, "Smoke Signals," so this has been in the back of his mind the entire time. Maybe not this exact scenario, since everything seemed to escalate following Kurt's arrest, but definitely something along these lines.
Even back when Kurt started warming up to Harrison by offering him a job at the diner, there was a question as to whether or not he was lining up Harrison as a victim (to quickly replace Kurt's ruined/tainted kill). Now we discover that was, in fact, half-right. Harrison was in Kurt's crosshairs, but for something totally different. This adds way more depth to Kurt as a manipulator, to know that his small town outreach act is meant for all types of potential murder victims. His fuddy-duddy dopiness is to get everyone to let down their defenses. Though, Harrison still should have been more wary of a guy who wanted to break into the school with him and hit the batting cage -- and super suspicious of an invite to a remote cabin for drinks.
Nah, she'll be fine
Yup, she's dead meat
Maybe...hey, what happened to that billionaire guy?
There was certainly a version of "Unfair Game" that could have ended with Dexter killing Kurt, instead of this season's monster just running off into the night (where he'll now definitely be hunted by the police, for real) but this now sets up Kurt, in the next episode or two, to be Harrison's initiation kill, possibly. Also, by no actual machinations of his own, Dexter got what he's wanted for half the season now. Harrison got to see Kurt for the a-hole he is, and in the worst way, too, since Kurt was literally going to shoot down Harrison himself after spending half the day being super sweet to him. Dexter couldn't have hoped for better, really, and it all ended with him revealing the bare basics of his "born in blood" backstory to Harrison and the kid being receptive to it. Hooray!
It would seem everything's lining up just perfectly for the Morgans, if it weren't for the fact that all throughout this episode, while Dexter was doing his best to not get murdered in the snowy woods by Kurt's lackey, Elric (who was also the guy pretending to be Matt in New York), Angela pieced together that he was the Bay Harbor Butcher! At this point, with all the dots connected, it wouldn't be surprising if Dexter and Harrison returned home to their house being surrounded by cops (though she may need a bit more to go on to make an arrest).
Is Dexter ultimately doomed or can he have the perfect murder family he's always dreamed of?
"Unfair Game" was an exciting chapter that gave us Dexter on the defensive, physically, which is something we don't often get to see. Usually, it's a mental chess game full of hurried errands involving the hiding of evidence, but here it was full-on wilderness survival mode. It would have been better, perhaps, as a sniper rifle showdown with Kurt, ...
