We learned all whole lot about the Trinity Killer last night, but I still come to the same conclusion: he's batshit crazy. Now we know that he abuses his son, locks his daughter in her room, and completely terrorizes his family into submission. Dexter intervenes to save the family, and then just as abruptly leaves after pulling the knife. Will they all be stuffed in the coffin when he comes back? Usually when kids are abused by one parent, people ask why the other never stepped in. Sally is probably moire
Christine being Trinity Killer was a good twist if not a predictable one. I wasn't totally blown away as some may have been. She really stuck out as a sore thumb being a new character and having ulterior motives. Her height would match up with Deb's gunshot. What is confusing is why she continues to dig for stories when she has a goldmine of information already.
Angel and LaGuerta continue to be a total drag on the show. I don't care much for either of them and they barely interact with Dexter anymore. With a greater focus on Dexter and the family, I suspect the writers really want those two to maintain the same screen time, so they decided to get them a separate story. Unfortunately they had to be in love, deceiving the higher ups which inevitably will lead to a reprimand.
Dexter is a show about a serial killer, but this season there has been a lack of killing or even those urges that he had in the first few seasons. He seems much more cuddly with his family and other obligations, targeting Trinity only, and still not taking the initiative to kill him. Then he acts like he really cares about Trinity's children. He can't genuinely care for them, so why can't he just kill Trinity and just get over with it. It's clear Trinity is not a proper model for future Dexter, and it makes no sense why Dexter would continue the charade.
What I'm looking forward most is to how Masuka will keep Elliot and Rita's kiss secret. This opens up a whole can of worms he's probably never had to deal with. C.S. Lee is a great actor, and now has a chance to venture in the territory of not just comic relief.
Score: 8.7/10

good points... but Christine is supposed to be Trinity's daughter, not the killer herself.. or is she?? that part was confusing.. oh, i also reviewed this episode in case you're interested :)
She's Trinity's daughter, but I'm pretty sure she was the one who shot Lundy and Deb.
