Supernatural is an American drama and horror television series created by Eric Kripke, which debuted on September 13, 2005 on The WB, and is now part of The CW's lineup. Starring Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester and Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester, the series follows the brothers as they hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television, in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision. The current executive producers are Eric Kripke, McG, and Robert Singer; former executive producer Kim Manners died of lung cancer during production of the fourth season.[1] The series, which is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, was in development for nearly ten years, as creator Kripke spent several years unsuccessfully pitching it as a series. The pilot was viewed by an estimated 5.69 million viewers,[2] and the ratings of the first four episodes prompted The WB to pick up the series for a full season of 22 episodes. Originally, Kripke planned the series for three seasons, but later expanded it to five. The fifth season began airing on September 10, 2009, and concluded the

series' main storyline;[3] however, The CW officially renewed the show for a sixth season on February 16, 2010.[4] Kripke has confirmed that he will not be returning as showrunner; however, he will still remain as an executive producer. Sera Gamble, replacing Kripke as showrunner, has stated that the sixth season will focus on the brothers' relationship. The staff for the first season consisted of Kripke and five other writers, with assistants to help with researching urban legends.[8] Most of the work done in writing the series is very collaborative, with the writers often breaking up into groups. At the beginning of each season, the writers are brought together and pitch out their ideas, which are then assigned to a specific writer to be developed. Each story idea is outlined on a dry-erase board, with Kripke and Bob Singer making necessary changes. Afterward, the script is written,[25] and Kripke goes through it to make sure it has the same tone as other episodes.[8] Kripke found this task very difficult to do in the first season,[26] but he felt it became easier by the third season, as the staff came to "really understand the show's style".[26] The tone of Supernatural was heavily influenced by films such as Poltergeisthaving the horror happen in a family setting rather than remote locationand Evil Dead 2 and An American Werewolf In Londonhaving bits of comedy mixed in. Commenting on the former, Kripke added, "It's the idea that horror can happen in your own backyard. How many viewers have to worry about the vampire in the gothic castle?"[5] Other influences include The Two Sisters and Asian horror films The Eye, Ju-on, and Ring.[27] "It's always been a show about family, much more than it is about anything else. The mythology is only an engine to raise issues about family. A big brother watching out for a little brother, wondering if you have to kill the person you love most, family loyalty versus the greater good, family obligation versus personal happiness..." Eric Kripke[23] According to creator Eric Kripke, the show originally was intended to focus on the weekly monsters, with Sam and Dean Winchester merely being "an engine to get us in and out of different horror movies every week".[28] His sole desire was to merely "scare the crap out of people".[29] However, a few episodes in, Kripke and executive producer Bob Singer noticed the onscreen chemistry between Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. This revelation caused them to change the series to focus more on the brothers than the monsters, basing the weekly monster around the storyline they wanted for the Winchesters. According to Kripke, "...sometimes we don't even have the monster until way late in the break, once we get all the angst and the drama done first."[28] Unlike shows with "endless mythology" like Lost, Kripke prefers to keep Supernatural's mythology simpler, saying, "It's so hard to go season after season after season with a mystery and then provide an answer that's going to be satisfying." He prefers to have the series' structure like that of the earlier XFiles episodes, having mythology-based episodes spread through many self-enclosed episodes Supernatural usually having three self-enclosed episodes followed by a mythology episode. With this format, viewers do not have to have previous knowledge of the mythology in order to watch the series, being able to "join the party at any time".[30]

[edit] Effects
Though companies were hired for work on the pilot episodesuch as Entity FX for the visual effects[31]effects departments now work exclusively for the series.[32] Ivan Hayden is the visual effects supervisor, and works with many levels of the production staff. During pre-production, Hayden must go through the scripts, looking for possible visual effects. He then has a concept meeting with the writers, and after settling on the effect designs to use, coordinates with the special effects and stunt departments. Hayden is also present during filming to help the director make sure that the scenes are being filmed in the best way for the visual effects, such as by ensuring that the actors are looking at the correct location where an effect will later be added. Afterward, he then meets with the editors.[33] Another aspect of the visual effects department is coming up with rules and

physics for each supernatural creature,[33] though the rules are often bent if it benefits the story.[32]

[edit] Music
Season One consists of 22 episodes that aired in the United States beginning September 13, 2005, and ending May 4, 2006. The first sixteen episodes aired on Tuesdays at 9:00 pm, after which the series was rescheduled to Thursdays.[107] Two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, team up to find their father, John, who went missing on a hunting trip. However, their father isn't a typical hunter: he hunts supernatural creatures like ghosts, vampires, and various demons and he's trained his sons to do the same. Along the way, Sam and Dean save innocent people, fight creatures and ghosts, and collect clues to their father's whereabouts. Sam begins to mysteriously develop psychic abilities and visions as they travel. They eventually find their father, who reveals that the creature that killed Sam and Dean's mother years earlier is a yellow-eyed demon and the only thing that can kill him is a legendary gun created by Samuel Colt. Season Two consists of 22 episodes that aired on Thursdays at 9:00 pm in the United States beginning September 28, 2006, and ending May 17, 2007.[108] The season follows Sam and Dean as they deal with their father's death and continue to hunt the yellow-eyed demon with assistance from new allies Ellen, Jo, and Ash. Part of the demon's master plan is eventually revealed as he gathers Sam and others like him, leading to Sam dying. Dean makes a deal with a crossroads demon to bring back Sam in exchange for his soul, which will be collected in one year. In a final confrontation, in which Dean kills the yellow-eyed demon, a Hell's Gate is opened, releasing numerous demons from within. Season Three consists of 16 episodes that aired on Thursdays at 9:00 pm in the United States beginning October 4, 2007, and ending May 15, 2008.[109] Originally 22 episodes were ordered for the third season, but production was halted on December 5, 2007, upon completion of the twelfth episode due to the 20072008 Writers Guild of America strike. The season number was shortened to sixteen episodes, with four new episodes airing in April and May 2008.[110] The season mainly focuses on trying to save Dean from his deal and tracking down the demons that were released from the gate. Along the way, the brothers meet a demon named Ruby, who has an interest in Sam and claims to be able to help save Dean. Also, they meet Bela Talbot, an "acquirer" and seller of occult objects, who is constantly a thorn in their side. The brothers eventually learn what demon holds Dean's contract; a being of great power named Lilith. The brothers, along with Ruby, track her down and attempt to kill her. Lilith is unable to stop Sam due to his mysterious abilities, however, Dean's contract expires and his soul is taken to Hell. Creator Eric Kripke originally planned for the show to last only five seasons, but due to increased ratings from the fourth and fifth seasons,[114] the CW network renewed the series for a sixth season. [115] Kripke has confirmed he will not be returning as showrunner; however, he will still remain as a hands-on executive producer, leaving Executive Producer Sera Gamble to take over the reins.[114] Gamble has said the sixth season of the show will focus on the brothers' relationship.[116][117] [118] The season will steer towards the format of the early seasons with "lots of meat-andpotatoes closed-ended episodes, and...a season-long story arc to weave in".[119] According to a press release by the CW, Heaven and Hell are now in "complete disarray", forcing Sam and Dean to reunite to "beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn" that "roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape".[120] Filming for the season began with the Ackles-directed fourth episode, "Weekend at Bobby's", to give the actor enough time for preproduction.[121] Misha Collins will return as series regular Castiel, [122] as will Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer.[123] Mitch Pileggi will make multiple appearances as Sam and Dean's grandfather.[124] The recurring role of Christian, the maternal cousin of Sam and Dean, was given to Corin Nemec;[125] he is described as "capable, calm under pressure, and very good at

his job".[124] Kim Rhodes will return as Sheriff Jody Mills,[126] as will Fredric Lehne as Azazel. [127] he season will air on Fridays at 9:00 pm in the United States on the CW and will premiere on September 24, 2010.[1

Recurring elements
While the locations and storyline change on a near weekly basis, there are a few things that show up regularly.

[edit] Colt
The Colt with thirteen original bullets The 1836 Colt Paterson, Texas[128]usually referred to as "The Colt"was made by Samuel Colt for a paranormal hunter. According to legend, anything shot by this gun, using one of its thirteen original bullets, will die, including creatures normally immune to any and all weapons. John Winchester gives it to the demon Azazel in return for Dean's life being spared after an almost-fatal car crash, and at the end of the second season, Azazel uses it as a key to open a gateway to Hell that Samuel Colt had sealed. The last bullet is then used to kill the demon, though it is later repaired to allow the use of more bullets. Towards the end of the third season, Lilith's right-hand demon Crowley acquires the gun and hides it. It is then featured in two time-travel episodes, before Crowley returns it to the Winchesters so that they can kill Lucifer. However, Lucifer later reveals there are five things in creation which the gun cannot kill, and he is one of them. The gun used in the series is actually a replica Colt ball and cap gun modified to fire metallic cartridges.[128] On the barrel of the gun is inscribed the Latin phrase "non timebo mala", meaning "I will fear no evil".[129] On the handle is a carving of a pentagram, with much of the finish removed to give it an aged appearance.[128] The props department also has a rubber version of the Colt to be used in fight scenes for pistol-whipping.[130]

[edit] Impala
Throughout the series, Dean drives a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. Having been passed down to him by his father, it is Dean's most prized possession, with actor Jensen Ackles feeling it is Dean's "life" and "sanctuary".[131] The brothers travel in it throughout the country as they hunt the supernatural, and the trunk holds various weaponry. In the first two seasons, it has a Kansas license plate with the number KAZ 2Y5, a reference to the Winchesters' home state of Kansas, and the series premiere date of 2005.[131] Towards the end of the second season, the car sports a new Ohio license plate (CNK 80Q3) to aid the brothers in hiding from the FBI.[132] The origins of the Impala were first depicted in the comic mini-series Supernatural: Origins, in which John Winchester takes ownership of the car from Mary's uncle after accidentally getting him killed during a hunt. However, fans responded negatively to this, as John is shown with the Impala in the teaser for the pilot episode, which is chronologically set before the comic series. Due to this, the comic was altered for the trade paperback version,[133] with the Impala's true origins later being depicted in the series' fourth season. Having been sent back to 1973 by the angel Castiel, Dean convinces his father to purchase the Impala over a 1964 VW Van. The car's origins were further explored during the Season 5 finale, in which a frame story surrounded the plot of the episode tracking the Impala's history from its manufacture, through several previous owners, up until the present day. All of the cars used in the show are stock 1967 Chevrolet Impalas four-door hardtops. They feature Chevrolet small-block engines, recolored interiors, custom seats, and nonfunctioning radios. Other

than the one used in the original, all of the Impalas had to be painted black for the series. One of the Impalas used features a detachable roof and doors for up-close shots, and is capable of being separated in half.[130]

[edit] Ruby's knife


Ruby possessed a mysterious and presumably magical demon-killing knife, which Kripke refers to as "a hand-to-hand version of the Colt".[134] Its handle is made of elk antlers, and the knife has engravings on both sides of the blade, although the symbols are all balderdash.[134] It has been seen and used many times following its introduction in the third season. Upon being stabbed in a vital area, the demon suffers immediate death, usually taking the human host with it. It is unknown if it is effective against other supernatural beings, although it is useless against angels. Furthermore, the demon Alastair is resistant to the knife's power. How the knife functions has yet to be revealed, and creator Eric Kripke doubts it ever will be, stating, "I like to leave some things mysterious. And thats likely to remain mysterious."[83]

[edit] 66 seals
Holding Lucifer at bay are over 600 mystical seals, only 66 of which have to be broken for him to be released. The first seal needed to be broken is a "righteous man" spilling blood in Hell. The demon Lilith ensures Dean Winchester gets sent there at the end of the third season. While in Hell, Dean's decision to torture souls to free himself from his own torment breaks the first seal. This allows Lilith to begin breaking the remaining seals, prompting the angel Castiel to resurrect Dean from Hell to stop her in Season Four. The remaining seals are broken over the course of the season, with the final seal being broken by Sam when he succeeds in destroying Lilith in the finale "Lucifer Rising".

[edit] Trouble with the law


Because Dean and Sam do not get paid for their hunting, the brothers earn their living and pay for their hunting equipment through credit card fraud, poker winnings, and pool hustling. Furthermore, their investigations often put them on the wrong side of the law, as they have desecrated graves, impersonated various officials, and committed breaking and entering. Framed for murder and bank robbery by shapeshifters, Dean has become a highly wanted man, and the brothers are occasionally pursued by various law enforcement officers, most notably FBI Agent Victor Henricksen. Because of their wanted status, the brothers often use aliases, usually derived from hard rock musicians, film references, or, in a meta-reference, the book Fletch and movie based on the book where the title character does the same thing. However, in the third season episode "Jus in Bello", Sam and Dean are presumed dead in the explosion of the Monument, Colorado, Sheriff's office and jail, ending the FBI's pursuit of them. Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki told a U.K. convention that they're both on board for a sixth season, in spite of all the stuff they told Entertainment Weekly a while back. But would a sixth season actually rule? Asked about whether he'd be on board for a sixth season, star Jensen Ackles told fans at Asylum 3 in Birmingham that "I have to. I have a six-year contract." And when people asked Jared Padalecki what he'd be doing after season five, he replied: "Supernatural Six. My best guess is that Supernatural will go beyond season five." The main hitch, though, is that creator Eric Kripke isn't contracted for a sixth season (and he seemed pretty vehement in that EW article that he doesn't want to do one.) But assuming the CW can convince Kripke to come back for one more season, will the show still have some place interesting to go? After all, each succeeding season has raised the stakes and ramped up the intensity, to the point where season five will be about fighting Lucifer. Even Padalecki, who seems pretty gung ho, says he'll want to bail if the show loses its narrative drive in the sixth season.

After just starring in an episode called "Jump The Shark," Padalecki doesn't want the show to jump the shark for real: I was a huge fan of Lost - I'd never seen a drama series that I loved so much. But as I continued to watch it, it started to get complicated for the sake of being complicated. It could have been so complete, it could have just answered the questions that it asked as opposed to saying 'let's blow some stuff up and we'll figure it out later'. I don't want that to happen. If there's still a story to tell and still something for me to bring to the show as Sam Winchester, then absolutely. Padalecki hinted that the relationship between the Winchester brothers would heal as a result of the revelations in the season five finale but don't expect Sam to stop being dark 'n' demonic. Padalecki says Sam couldn't stay "the good brother" forever. [The Geek Files] Season six of Supernatural, an American television series will be the fifth season to air on the CW television network. The show's creator Eric Kripke originally planned for the show to last only five seasons, but due to increased ratings from the fourth and fifth seasons,[2] the CW network renewed the series for a sixth season.[3] Kripke has confirmed he will not be returning as showrunner; however, he will still remain as a hands-on executive producer, leaving Executive Producer Sera Gamble to take over the reins.[2] Gamble has said the sixth season of the show will focus on the brothers' relationship.[4][5][6] The season will steer towards the format of the early seasons with "lots of meat-and-potatoes closed-ended episodes, and...a season-long story arc to weave in".[7] According to a press release by the CW, Heaven and Hell are now in "complete disarray", forcing Sam and Dean to reunite to "beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn" that "roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape".[1] The season will jump ahead a year to "get some distance between [Sam and Dean], get some personal history for each of them" to allow for "new conflict, new circumstances, new stuff".[8] The brothers roles will be reversed, with Dean now hesitant to return to the hunting lifesyle.[9] The brothers will investigate why monsters have been "acting off-pattern".[10] The first few episodes will establish the new mythology.[8] An episode spoofing Twilight and other vampire series is planned,[11] as well as an "insane" storyline featuring Tinker Bell.[12] Filming for the season began with the Ackles-directed fourth episode, "Weekend at Bobby's", to give the actor enough time for preproduction.[13] Misha Collins will return as series regular Castiel,[14] as will Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer.[15] Mitch Pileggi will make multiple appearances as Sam and Dean's grandfather.[16] The recurring role of Christian, the maternal cousin of Sam and Dean, was given to Corin Nemec;[17] he is described as "capable, calm under pressure, and very good at his job".[16] Kim Rhodes will return as Sheriff Jody Mills,[18] as will Fredric Lehne as Azazel.[19] The season will air on Fridays at 9:00 pm in the United States on the CW and will premiere on September 24, 2010.[1]

From the

beginning, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke has said he has a five-year plan for the show, and while he has every intention of finishing it as planned, the summer saw a change in tone regarding the future of Supernatural. CW President Dawn Ostroff and Kripke himself both remained open to the possibility of continuing Supernatural beyond its current fifth season, but should they? More Supernatural is rarely a bad thing, but is it worth it for another season? Just like for every important debate, I made up a list of pros and cons to help figure it out. PRO: The Creativity of the Writers Supernatural has one of the most inventive and creative writing staffs on TV, with stand-outs like Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund and Jeremy Carver. Already this season has featured an apocalyptic future, Paris Hilton and the Anti-Christ (surprisingly, those last two were different characters). And upcoming episodes include Dean as an old man and the Winchesters living in various other TV shows. Creatively, Supernatural shows no signs of stopping and could easily keep going with this talented group of writers. CON: There's Nowhere to Go But Down This season, the Winchesters are facing Lucifer. That's as big a villain as you can possibly get, so if the show continues beyond the Lucifer storyline, it would be nearly impossible to match that level of conflict. Right now, if Kripke does plan on finishing this storyline by the end of season 5, it's hard to imagine what could be as compelling as fighting the devil. 3. Dexter The dark crime drama whose characters are based on the novels of Jeff Lindsay returned for its fourth season on September 27, and will wrap up with a finale episode deemed by executive producer as their "most exciting yet." Whether you want to catch up or just relive the excitement of season 4, we've got you covered with recaps of every episode, plus all our coverage of Season 4's explosive finale. Up against his most dangerous foe yet, the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), Dexter must navigate his many lives as serial killer, blood spatter analyst, father, husband, and brother, yet still come out of the finale alive, with his secret intact. But at what cost? No immediate spoilers are below, for anyone who has yet to watch the Season 4 finale, but be wary of any links leading you to finale articles, as the twist at the end of this season is just too huge to not be discussed! But what are we saying? If you haven't seen the finale, hurry up and go finish Dexter Season 4, right now! Season 4 Overview: Last season concluded with Dexter marrying a pregnant Rita (Julie Benz) and admitting to himself that his weddings vows "to be the best husband and father he could be" are absolutely true. In season 4, Dexter appears to have everything he could possibly want except the one thing he actually needs ---which is time to kill. Although diaper duty appears to have pushed Dexter's little killing hobby to the backseat, that's not to say that he won't be giving in to his urges. After all, season 4 has a new villain on the loose and he comes in the form of John Lithgow. As reported in the past, the 3rd Rock from the Sun star will be playing a prolific serial killer known as the "Trinity Killer"-he kills in threes- and leads an unassuming double life similar to Dexter's. Season 4 will also bring about the return of Keith

Carradine's FBI Agent Lundy, who is back in Miami to track down the Trinity Killer. Dexter is an American television drama series that airs on Showtime. It debuted on October 1, 2006, and filming has begun on the fifth season, due to begin airing on September 26, 2010. Set in Miami, the show centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a blood spatter-pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department, who moonlights as a serial killer. The show's first season was loosely based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the first of his series of Dexter novels. Subsequent seasons have evolved independently of Lindsay's works. It was adapted for television by screenwriter James Manos, Jr., who wrote the pilot episode. Dexter structures his killing around "The Code of Harry", a body of ethics and procedures devised by his adoptive father Harry (who was a Miami cop) to make sure Dexter never gets caught and ensure that Dexter kills only other killers. Harry also trained Dexter in how to interact convincingly with other people, despite being a psychopath, since the murder of his biological mother, Laura Moser, did in fact turn Dexter into a serial killer. As an adult, Dexter has largely escaped suspicion (with some exceptions) by being genial and generous and maintaining generally superficial relationships. However, his attachment to his sister Deb, his significant other Rita, his stepchildren and (later) his biological son have all complicated his duplicitous lifestyle while making him question his need to kill. In February 2008, edited reruns began to air on CBS. The series has enjoyed wide critical acclaim and popularity. Season 4 aired its season finale on December 13, 2009 to a record-breaking audience of 2.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched original series episode ever on Showtime.[1] Michael C. Hall has won several awards for his portrayal of Dexter, including a Golden Globe. Orphaned at the age of three, Dexter Morgan is adopted by Miami police officer, Harry Morgan and his wife Doris. After discovering that young Dexter has been killing neighborhood pets, Harry believes that the boy is a psychopath and teaches him "The Code" as a way to channel his violent urges towards people who "deserve it". In this code, Dexter's victims must be killers themselves who have murdered the undeserving and will likely do so again. Dexter must also have proof that the criminals are guilty. Most importantly, Dexter must never get caught. Flashbacks throughout the series show Harry, who died several years before, instructing Dexter in how to appear normal and cover his tracks. Dexter has followed The Code religiously. Like many serial killers, he keeps trophies; before dispatching a wrongdoer, Dexter makes a small incision on their right cheek with a scalpel and collects a blood sample which he preserves on a blood slide. He stores his collection in a box concealed inside his air conditioner. Dexter is (with varying success) able to fake 'normal' emotions and maintain his appearance as an unremarkable friend and neighbor. He does maintain a few personal relationships, however. He is "fond" of Harrys biological daughter Debra. She is unaware of Harry's training or Dexter's secret life, but harbors lingering jealousy of the perceived preferential treatment Harry gave Dexter. As part of his "disguise", Dexter dates a woman named Rita who is too traumatized from years of abuse at the hands of her ex-husband, Paul Bennett, to be intimate with Dexter. This suits Dexter, who is asexual. He is fond of (and good with) children in general, particularly Ritas two children, Astor and Cody. Dexter is now a family man, and Rita has given birth to a baby boy named Harrison. The family has moved to the suburbs, where Dexter struggles to reconcile his new life with his killing urges. Special Agent Frank Lundy returns to hunt down the "Trinity Killer" (John Lithgow) who he believes always murders three people in a very specific sequence: a young woman in a bathtub, an older mother of two falling to her death, and a father of two bludgeoned to death. Lundy begins working with Debra and shortly after, an unseen assailant shoots them both, killing Lundy. Afterwards, Debra is barred from working the Trinity case because the shooting is suspected to be the work of Trinity, making Debra a victim. Debra eventually discovers that Trinity was not the shooter, and she is put in charge of the case. Meanwhile, LaGuerta and Batista have renewed their relationship and, in danger of losing their jobs, decide to marry. While investigating Lundy's data about Trinity, Dexter determines Lundy was killed because he had

determined when and where Trinity would claim his third victim. Dexter stakes out the building, and witnesses Trinity bludgeoning a man on a security camera. Dexter follows Trinity to his home, where he is surprised to discover that Trinity is a family man named Arthur Mitchell. Using the alias Kyle Butler, Dexter attends the same church as Mitchell and eventually befriends him. While investigating the reasons behind Mitchell's crimes, Dexter learns how he manages to reconcile his family life with his killing urges and utilizes that knowledge to deal with his own issues. Dexter visits Mitchell at his home and discovers that he will be traveling to Tampa on another building project, which could be the start of another cycle. Dexter decides to make the trip with Mitchell to ensure this does not happen. On the way, Mitchell takes Dexter to his childhood home and reveals that at the age of ten, he spied on his older sister in the shower out of innocent curiosity. Startled by his presence, she slips in the shower, shattering the glass shower door and cutting open her femoral artery, causing her to bleed to death. His mother committed suicide and his father died soon after. Dexter realizes that Mitchell compulsively murders groups of people that bear resemblance to those in his family, recreating their deaths each time. During Thanksgiving at Mitchell's home, Dexter learns that Mitchell has been terrorizing his family, locking his daughter away in her bedroom and physically abusing his son. After Mitchell attacks his son, Dexter is forced to restrain him. Mitchell then goes to see a reporter who has been snooping around the Miami P.D., Christine Hill, who is revealed to be his illegitimate daughter. Later Mitchell kidnaps a boy while being pursued by Dexter. Dexter does some research and finds out that Trinity's pattern begins with the abduction and murder of a ten year old boy first; revealing Trinity's pattern actually cycles in groups of four with the boys always disappearing five days before the first bathtub death. Dexter locates where Mitchell is holding the boy and arrives just in time to save him as Mitchell escapes. Debra begins to investigate and eventually arrests Hill after finding that she is Trinitys daughter. However, Hill is released due to a lack of evidence. Hill secretly contacts Arthur, but he refuses to help her and instead forbids further contact. Mitchell also reveals his disdain for her having killed Lundy, which she did to protect her father. Realizing the error of her ways, Hill confesses to Debra. Distraught, Hill seeks forgiveness from Debra, which she refuses. Hill then pulls out a gun and commits suicide in front of her. One of Harry's old informants takes Deb to the house of Laura Moser. Deb immediately recognizes the house as the home of Brian Moser, the Ice Truck Killer. After piecing together Dexter's connection to Brian and Laura, Deb reveals this information to Dexter, explaining that Laura was his mother and Brian his brother. Dexter feigns surprise, stating that Brian must have tried to get to him through Deb. Dexter decides that he must draw police attention away from Mitchell, so he finds a man whom he can kill and pin the blame on. He then plants evidence and kills the man. Mitchell lures Dexter to an arcade where he previously stalked victims and follows Dexter back to the police station, where he learns Dexter's true identity. Soon after, Dexter tails Mitchell, but sideswipes a car on the way. Dexter captures and drugs Mitchell, but the driver of the damaged car has found Dexter's car, called the police, and in the ensuing confrontation, Dexter is taken in by the police for leaving the scene of an accident and fighting with the driver in the presence of the police. By the time Dexter is released due to cell overcrowding, Mitchell is gone from where Dexter had left his unconscious body. Dexter eventually tracks down Mitchell, capturing and bringing him to the bomb shelter where he held the missing boy. Dexter kills Mitchell with a hammer and dumps the body. He returns home and picks up a message from Rita. After listening to the message, he decides to call her back. He hears Rita's phone ring from within the house and soon after, he hears Harrison crying. He rushes to the bathroom, where he finds Harrison sitting on the tile floor in a pool of blood while Rita lies dead in the bathtub, having been murdered by Mitchell.

http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/05/12/ask-ausiello-spoilers-dexter-house/ All I can say is "it's about damn time!". Well I can also say a few words about the details. Firstly I'm glad Deb is helping Dexter raise the kids. I'm glad Paul's impeccably timed parents weren't stepping in to do the duty. I can't say that I didn't foresee this happening though. But is there any good reason why they'd move all five people back into Dexter's old apartment? It's not like they would need the extra money from selling the house since Rita never worked anyway. And Dexter being a suspect in Rita's murder? It's not a stretch to see that happening, however I don't know if that's going to be a serious threat all season. It's amazing that no matter how much I like the show, I always find I have very little faith in it to deliver. I always expect to be disappointed by each new season. This season in particular. I hope more than anything that they prove me wrong. Arthur knows who Dexter Morgan is now. That means that Dexter's family is no longer safe. Arthur wants him to simply disappear from his life and threatens him. When Arthur leaves, Dexter chases him, having to punch Quinn to get him out of his way first. Rita calls, wanting to set up a romantic weekend with her beloved husband to celebrate him hitting Elliott. Dexter gets distracted during his high-speed chase and knocks off the side view mirror of a guy parked on the road. Dexter manages to catch Arthur and inject him so that he passes out. Unfortunately, he has been found by the guy whose car he hit. An altercation causes Dexter to get arrested. When sitting in jail, he has a conversation with Harry, and realizes this is not the kind of life that he wants. Unfortunately, they have called Rita, who gets him out of jail, but is now desperately wanting to know what is going on with Dexter. Batista has figured out that Trinity abducted young boys prior to his murdering sprees. Arthur woke up before Dexter could back to the van. He freaks out his family by demanding they give him all of the money they have on him. He is on the run. Debra has inadvertently now figured out who Dexter is. She finds out the truth about her father, Dexter's mother, and that the Ice Truck Killer is actually Dexter's biological brother. Dexter begs Rita to still have their belated honeymoon. He tells her to fly down ahead of him, to take a spa day, and to relax. He promises he is going to fly down to meet her when he is done at work. Astor and Cody are going to go with their grandparents to Disney. This way, he can get his whole family away to safety, and get Arthur before Arthur gets them.
