Miguel manipulates Dexter into helping, Dexter and Miguel kill the skinner together, but Dexter kills Miguel when he becomes reckless. Season 4: Same as original. Trinity Killer murders Rita, shattering Dexter. Season 5: Lumen removed. Dr. Vogel introduced, revealing her role in creating the Code. Dexter learns from her tapes that he has a brother. Season 6: Brian finally appears, echoing the Ice Truck Killer arc. He tempts Dexter to abandon the Code. Dexter spares him instead of killing him. Season 7: Dexter and Brian reluctantly team up to stop a new cannibalistic threat (Roberto Acosta and The Coven). Deb grows close to Kyle Chutsky and becomes pregnant. Brian disappears by the finale.
