That’s right, Dexter himself spoke to me about the importance of “Scar Tissue.” Warning: Killer spoilers ahead!
I chatted with Hall about this week's episode, what's to come for the rest of the season, and how he feels about the end of Dexter.

What Hall thought after reading the script:
“It felt definitely bold, surprising, but justifiable, I think, from a storytelling standpoint," Hall said. "And if there’s any hope for those two characters to climb out of the wreckage that is surrounding them, then it’s gotta hit rock bottom. And I think that driving a car with both of them into a lake is definitely that.”

On the significance of Dr. Vogel coming into Dexter's life:
“I think the presence of Dr. Vogel allows him to press some sort of reset button in terms of the consideration of his origin, and how he came to be who he is," Hall admitted. "At the same time, he can’t completely trust her motivations. But I think his appetite for connection, his need to have questions answered that only Vogel can answer, his desire, in spite of any claim to the contrary, for some sort of human intimacy that she offers him — I think that’ll trump his wariness in the end."

On whether or not Dexter will be able to let Deb go:
“At this point in time, Dexter really questions whether or not he’ll be able to do that," Hall said. "On the one hand, we can say he’s unable to do that because there has emerged in him a real sense of connection to the world, and to his sense of his own humanity, and certainly, specifically, to his sister. On the other hand, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, she is in some ways the most dangerous person in his life."
