This is a loose end, and it might be hard to make out of case for "exigent circumstances," (i.e., emergency situations where a warrantless search would be deemed legally permissible) since everyone there was, you know, pretty dead already. However, Kurt had been duly arrested before, presumably after suitable warrants might have been obtained, so I suppose there’s some slim chance that those warrants could still be good? But I'd cut Angela a bit of slack since she was pretty shaken up after having to confront Dexter, and then in addition to that, he dumps this Kurt story on her that's central to gruesome crimes that had haunted her for 25 years. That's some significant stress that might at least temporarily override adherence to good policing. Because it's personal. He deceived her and she's also mad at herself for failing to detect anything after intimately being with him for a while. She's supposed to be detective, so in her mind, so how could she have been so blind for so long? This is not just a supremely personal betrayal, it's an indictment who she is. Because the alternative – bring down Harrison too - is worse. Angela doesn’t know Harrison was complicit in Kurt’s murder (though she might have excused that too if she had known about it). All Angela knows is that Harrison shot Dexter and that Dexter was the BHB, and killed at least two people in Iron Lake, including Logan just minutes ago. She knows the evidence for all of this is weak (other than for killing Logan) and that a trial could easily ruin more lives – like hers, her daughter’s and certainly Harrison’s. As far as she knows, the guilty party is now dead, and justly so. Her choice to let Harrison run is almost a selfish, Dexter-like rationalization of ultimate right and wrong wholly outside the law.

Yes, both the titanium screw presumably still left among the ash of Dexter's house, and the second one sent to Angela should have serial numbers traceable back to Matt, presuming his medical professionals kept proper records. See 21 CFR 801.20, requiring medical devices to carry a "Unique Device Identification." How that demonstrates Dexter's culpability for anything is still far from clear, though together with what else Angela has learned, "Jim" is already looking sketchy, even if the accumulated evidence so far is insufficient for a conviction, let alone an arrest. What I didn't get is why Dexter didn't use the "do you know anyone who'd want to burn down your house" question to implicate Kurt, however tentatively. Dexter could have at least acknowledged to Angela that Kurt seemed pissed at "Jim" for interfering with Molly in some way, which is indeed true, despite not being the actual arson motivation. The most credible lies carry as much truth as possible. Maybe Dexter thought voicing any arson suspicion of Kurt would open the door to too many further questions. But leaving the potential arsonist completely unidentified could lead to a broader investigation than otherwise. Kurt's apparent "fleeing" of the scene would have easily fit with even a loose suspicion lodged by Dexter. Subsequent investigation possibly might even verify that Kurt was found to be doing something in preparation for arson, like buying lots of gasoline in cans.

Two things puzzled me (well in addition to how Laconia fits into anything at this point). First, what's the point of tether-spinning a bunch of supply containers? It didn't look like people were actually meant to live there, though clearly there was space for people to move about (and sadly also get crushed). Nevertheless, tether-spinning a bunch of supply containers seemed like a waste of resources and technology. Why provide artificial gravity for a bunch of supply containers? Maybe their cargo, or at least some of it, needed "gravity?" Who knows? Second, should the Pella crew really be onloading an unexploded nuke and tossing it around like a beach ball? I know the technician did some of that to get a rise out of Filip (successfully), but would an experienced technician really throw a potentially live nuke around so cavalierly? That unexploded nuke also brought to mind Chekhov's gun.

I've missed her for a while, and am so glad to see her back. Give her another show of her own. And she's such a trooper to play this role full on, and I can't imagine anyone doing so better. Though "Irma" in undoubtedly a completely original creation, Larry could easily have imported another Tracey Ullman character that could also have also fit this role surprisingly well: "Fern Rosenthal." See And yes, she's paired with Julia Kavner in both these clips.

I thought Kurt said "titanium doesn't burn," but the point is the same and valid. Actually, titanium does indeed melt, but at a very high temperature, i.e., above 3000 degrees F, which is very much hotter than reached by any typical fire. Indeed, that's almost 1000 degrees F hotter than a typical kiln used to fire ceramics (which melts glass and even several types of stone). How Kurt connected this with Dexter remains unexplained, however.

What I didn't get was how Marco could spin this into something good for the belt, which he seemed to suggest. Perhaps that was just baseless bravado or a psychotic yearning for further bloodlust, but I couldn't see how this helps the belt in any way. Some amount mitigation seems conceivable - as in the re-targeting - but I'd imagine that's an immense, and maybe even impossible, undertaking, at least for the majority of the very many rocks. That the loss and capture of the Azure Dragon has caused significant damage to the belt's position seems confirmed by Avasarala's buoyant, good mood. She knows this is a sea change.

Bequests are not "handled by lawyers" but instead by the executor (though an executor can also be a lawyer). No one suggested Carrie would "hand" Natasha a check, and Carrie's clearly not the executor since the executor would know about the will - and Carrie clearly did not. It's hardly unreasonable to suggest that Carrie should be entitled to a few seconds of conversation from a former wife in exchange for a $1 million dollar bequest from her late husband. Not really a big ask.

Natasha is not a saint in my book. Despite all the BS Carrie had done, her husband had just died, and her husband's will involved Natasha though no doing or knowledge of Carrie. Given these circumstances, it was Natasha who was acting inappropriately by lying, hiding and blocking any contact with Carrie. Her husband did just die; cut her some slack. It's not like Carrie was stalking Natasha for years, and indeed Natasha knew of the $1 million dollar bequest, so Natasha had every reason to know that Carrie was not "stalking" her, but instead had legitimate will-related issues to discuss. And how exactly did Natasha learn of that bequest (and so soon) btw? That's far from clear, and in real life the executor of the will would inform any beneficiaries, but that doesn't usually happen that fast.

Not sure that is true. Fraud is a crime and "Jim" had to engage in Fraud to be living the life he is It might be correct that the isolated act of faking your own death isn't technically illegal, but as noted, almost anything else you would do after that to pass yourself off as someone else is likely to be infested with fraud. Yes, you can legally change your name to anything you like, but you can't do that to hide crimes or for any other nefarious purpose. Presumably, Dexter has made up a whole new person, with new ID, and other personal information that is false. Using that false information - which he presumably does nearly every day - would seem to be several types of crimes. The government can make up new identifying stuff - as in a witness protection scheme - but that doesn't mean private people can do the same thing. They can't. Who knows what he uses for a social security number. And presumably he pays taxes. How could the IRS simply start receiving taxes from some guy who's never before existed (or more importantly to them, never paid taxes before). Maybe, like Don Draper, Dexter assumed the identity of a real person who had truly died?

That last part of this is not correct. Such language does not need to be in the original agreement. As long as the parties to an agreement want to change it, and their changes don't need the consent of anyone else (as appears to be the case here), they can change that agreement at any time no matter what the original document says or doesn't say. As others had mentioned, this means that Logan didn't need advance notice to run to Caroline before the kids ran to him with their threat. Logan could just as easily have gone to Caroline after receiving their kids' threat and defuse that in exactly the same manner with exactly the same effect. However, Caroline may then had more leverage and might have demanded more in exchange since supermajority voting rites would then have been not just of hypothetical or prospective value, but of an exceeding high current value. It's unclear how much Caroline knew (or cared about) the status of the GoJo deal negotiations, however.

.Absolutely nothing, Tom's just genuinely attached to him "Attached" might be an odd characterization of Tom's connection with Greg, but their relationship is certainly enigmatic. While some have suspected that there's a viper lurking beneath Greg's clueless and bumbling demeanor, that's hardly clear (despite the "Greenpeace is bad" shtick). It's even less clear how Greg can be useful to Tom, but he is the one non-Logan connection to the Roy family that Tom hasn't yet burned to the ground, so maybe that has something to do it.

The age difference between Gerri and Roman could be half that of between Logan and Kerry. Roman is near 40, Gerri is early 60's, so at most 25 years. Logan is near 80 and Kerry is near 30(?) so possibly about 50 years? The real difference is older men/younger women combinations are somehow more "acceptable" than older women/younger men combinations, the former being ordinary, but the later being "disgusting." Indeed, but Shiv is too self-absorbed and arrogant to see this, notwithstanding the much guile she does have. Gerri has mastered managing the Roys for decades. I think she'll be fine. She knows not only where the bodies are buried, but who buried them, why, and when. And undoubtedly, she's got documentation to support all of that. The glaring mismatch between Logan and Kendall was far more stark than that between Shiv and Gerri. The suspected poison-testing, especially in the picturesque Tuscan background, seemed worthy of some medieval Medici machinations or something out of I, Claudius. (where Livia supposedly poisoned many, including her husband Augustus, and was the namesake for Tony Supranos mother).

Regarding their arial escape from the stone eating bugs, how could there be enough air (atmospheric density) to provide 200-300 pounds of lift from maybe 10 square feet of “wingspan” yet so little air they needed to wear space suits? Did I miss something?

What seems clear is that the drawings were real, and Harrison seemed appropriately alarmed when he first saw them. That point additionally seems confirmed by the parents' complaint to Harrison about not coming to them first. Indeed, if Harrison were on the up and up fully, why didn't he go to someone after seeing those drawings, like Ethan's parents, the school guidance counselor, his father, his father's cop girlfriend? No answer to that question yet. What seems unclear is how real or progressed any of Ethan's plans were regarding his kill list. Maybe those drawing were effectively cosplay in his own revenge fantasy and Ethan never intended to act on anything. Or maybe that's wrong, and Ethan had a cash of weapons at home, which would demonstrate far more ominous intent (as Angela worried). We just don't know, and don't know if Harrison is tampering with "evidence" to push a particular story away from the truth. We also don't know why Harrison would do that, if in fact he is doing that. What seems perhaps most probable from what we do know is that Harrison stabbed Ethan - at least in his view - to "save" the kill-listed students and not so coincidentally to make myself out to be a hero. Just as Dexter saw Matt's unavoidable and inevitable danger to so many others after the high-powered gun purchase, Harrison may have viewed decade-tormented Ethan as an innocent-harming time-bomb waiting to explode violently at any minute. In a sloppy and inchoate way, Harrison's "code" blessed taking Ethan out - if not quite killing him. Harrison may not have realized how ruinous his plan would be to Ethan's parents and apparently never thought through the full consequences of tarring Ethan as a psycho-killer-wanna be. Harrison's interactions with Ethan's parents suggested at least some of this.

Whatever Logan's options were at the time, Logan can no longer throw Kendall under the bus on this because Logan was part of the conspiracy to cover it up. Logan is thus personally implicated and well aware that he's personally implicated. He no longer has the leverage that would be needed simply to out Kendall on this. Logan isn't holding back based on some fatherly loyalty, he's just covering his own ass at this point together with Kendall's.

Kendall doesn't seem to have the capacity to enjoy anything. He has more than almost anyone can imagine, but he is still unhappy and lost. Kendall seems to mistreat Greg for the same reason he mistreats everyone. That's all Kendall knows regarding how people relate to one another. Bullying was just the default method of communication during his upbringing, and this same bullying continues up to his 40th birthday through Logan's "gift." The frantic and sad search for a "rabbit" wrapping-papered gift among a literal sea of other gifts was nearly a full psychotic break. In contrast, Greg, however geekily, asks out the hot girl, she says yes! Even if Greg suspects she does so for "spite or rancor," Greg is as happy as he can be. And appropriately so. That's a healthy and genuine human reaction - and one that none of the Roys seems to be able to comprehend or muster. Tom just seemed to be jealous of Greg "out of league"-date, and his forehead kiss with Greg looked threatening. That kiss reminded me of a "kiss of death" that one mobster may bestow on another just before an unsuspected whacking.

Disregarding expensive legal advise seems irrational to most, but that's just a combination of arrogance and the insignificantly small amount of money that is compared with what a family like Kendal's really has. However expensive Lisa may be, (perhaps around $1800/hour or so), Kendall cares more about the question of feeding bagels to his children's rabbit than that cost. The Roys have armies of people telling them what they want to hear and shielding them from things they don't want to hear. Lisa didn't get with that plan. It's interesting to contrast how a seasoned Roy-whisperer like Gerrie handles the family, but still manages to adhere to some standards, with Lisa, whose suck up skills weren't quite up to par.

This is why dictatorships and authoritarian rule (over a country or a company) are inherently unstable and erratic. You can't run anything well when your best people are afraid of seeing the truth or acting in a necessary manner because they fear an irrational reaction from their superior. What I didn't get was why Shiv sweetened the deal by offering Sandi a board seat (with another going to Shiv) when they essentially already had a the deal struck. Was that all a ploy just to get Shiv onto the Board herself? Did she add Sandi's seat to cut off further "deal points" that Sandi might add later? Regardless of her motivations, I was also confused regarding how she would sell this to Logan later - and as it turned out, that sale didn't go well at all.

Of course Harrison has to be a "shady" character, or at least one with "surprising" qualities. He is his father's son, and as feared, likely has "dark qualities" of his own. There would be no point in bringing Harrison "back" if he were blandly and boringly normal. But death from pancreatic cancer would be hard to fake given the mountain of medical records that would need to be faked or changed. Harrison doesn't seem stupid and clearly knows his way around some degree of criminal activity.

New York State has a wide range of homicide charges, several of which would seem to apply to this boating "accident." See https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/P3THA125. But Murder in the first degree seems an overreach. Perhaps the most apt charge might be § 125.14 Aggravated vehicular homicide. A motor boat is a "motor vehicle" under this and other NY State laws, btw. As awful as this "accident" was, it just seems somewhat beneath the evil of Dexter's many prior kills. There's no evidence that this errant boater actually wanted anyone killed. As far as we know, he just wanted to show himself to be tough and intimidating (however stupid and irresponsible that was). Yes the daddy-backed cover up make it all worse, but again, this isn't quite in the same league as Dexter's previous kills, at least from my perspective and fading memories of the original series. The more compelling reason Dexter seems to have reverted was the newly purchased, ridiculously overpowered, gun, and it's almost inevitable misuse (including actual misuse in killing "Dexter's" buck, and almost killing Dexter). Though unsaid, perhaps Dexter's rationale or justification is avoidance of some future gun misuse resulting in another 5 people killed or worse.

As others have mentioned, not sure any police are actively looking for him, but even if they were, Harrison has a lot of information that no one else has other than his mother. But the previews did suggest police incompetence may not be confined to Miami Metro. One thing that did seem a bit off was the selection of this kill. While his assholery was off the charts, he hadn't actually murdered anyone. Yes, he was responsible for the 5 deaths in the boating accident (and maybe that rises to criminally negligent homicide), but he just didn't seem to make the cut as irredeemably evil as required by Harry's rules that governed Dexter's past kills. Maybe that is supposed to signal a change, and with Deb replacing Harry, the rules are out the window? Surely the "don't get caught" rule isn't being adhered to as faithfully as it had.

I dreaded his appearance here, as I have his appearance in past episodes. But I found him here somewhat less offensive than usual. However, if he thinks government municipalities should be off the hook for paying for police misconduct in legal actions, then how does he propose these victims will be compensated? Last I heard, few if any, cops seem to be in the top 1%. Too many of his opinions make no sense. Regarding Bill's effort to raise the Democratic troops into action to combat the continuing, if slow moving, coup, we can only hope that those leading these Democratic troops have already charted out strategies to push back on this. Sadly, we've seen little evidence that this is indeed happening, and it is as frightening as Bill suggests.

That's what I thought, and that as a Swiss citizen, not that he's completely untouchable, but that that would create another hurtle for US prosecutors to overcome. And not to unduly diss the Swiss, but they do seem to respect money and those with it. "Herr Axelrod" seems like he should be just fine, though you'd think they'd throw in a least one mention of his kids given how prominent they were in some prior story lines. Putting aside the possible dubious premise of whether fleeing to Switzerland would work in real life, I thought Axe's exit worked well as a story. It makes sense that he would run rather than risk jail, and that also allowed him to throw at least a modicum of victory in Chuck's face. He's still living the life, just on the other side of the Atlantic. The empty helicopter a nice, if overly dramatic, touch too. He always like a good presentation. I think the replacement of Axe by Prince has potential and will allow the show to explore new material. And they've certainly left the door open for Axe to reappear in some capacity, however modest that might be given Damien Lewis' preferences and availability.

Exactly. The "we know better than the FDA" argument is ridiculous. FDA exists precisely because ordinary people cannot be expected to understand the complexities of whether prescription drugs work. While FDA makes mistakes, and should be questioned about many things, to suggest that we'd all be better off deciding these issues on our own is an absurdly non-serious argument. Even with all its flaws and limitations, FDA is the envy of the world and relied upon by myriad other countries and regulatory agencies across the globe. This rant sounds like an enervated "government is inherently evil" argument drudged up from the Reagan years.
