It's a bold step by the production staff.
Really, if you think about it.... what char could they kill off the the greatest impact to Dex?
Anyone in Homicide could go and it wouldn't affect the story that much, even Deb. The ONE person that is showing Dex that he can beat this thing is the char they killed off. The char that makes the greatest impact on his life.
There was a lot of talk about "too much Rita" on the Dex forums, now it's all "WOW do you believe it?" LOL.
Does he go hard core? Does he continue his transformation to "normality"? What part do the kids play in this? What about "Aunt" Deb? How much more will they explore the Mosers?
I kinda didn't get why he freaked when Deb told him who his biological Mom was? Sure, now she knows that Harry adopted him... but so what? Maybe he's thinking that because Brian turned out the way he did, that automatically Dex would turn out similar?
Just 10 months or so to wait now...
