Dexter Season 5

After season 4 finale which to be precise was Mind Blowing, right away Dexter has left fans wondering and questioning:

Will Dexter be a suspect in Rita's death?
Will his connection to Trinity be found out?
What will happen to Cody and Astor?

Producer Sara Colleton with talk to TV Guide tried to answer a few important questions, including whether or not season five will lift straightaway following Rita's horrible murder.

On why Arthur killed Rita: We left it that way so everyone, based on their own life and their own experiences, would interpret it so it made sense for them. One way to interpret it is that in some bizarre way, Dexter gave Trinity a finality in his situation, that he does this in a bizarre way to trigger Dexter to deal with who he really is. You can only fake it for so long.

On Dexter's relationship with Trinity: Dexter can't say that he knows Trinity killed Rita and that he just killed Trinity. There are a lot of possibilities and they will all be thrown out in the room to be discussed.

On Dexter's season five reaction: [He may go on a killing spree], he may not. Hopefully it will be in what we call the "Dexterous response," which is based in human behavior, but uniquely put through the prism of Dexter's special needs. The fact is that he has children now that he is the sole parent of, and how that affects what he does and the choices he makes.

On Dexter as a suspect: If you know anything about crimes, usually a spouse is involved. We may jump ahead six months and it could be all handled. What we wanted to do is give ourselves something that gave us the widest range of possibilities.

Dexter Season 5 Spoilers & Predictions

Jane Boursaw of AOL TV has made predictions for how Dexter Season 5 could lift after Rita's horrendous murder. Which of these appear reasonable and could make for a good season of television?

1. Dexter will still be a family man, because he'll have baby Harrison, as well as Rita's kids. If the writers are truly going to re-set things, though, it seems like they'll at least shuffle the older kids off with the grandparents (although ... wasn't Rita's mother estranged? Perhaps they worked things out before they picked up the kids in the finale).

2. Dexter will be angry at the world and himself. He's not only lost his connection with Rita, but also his weird connection with the Trinity Killer. They're really not as different as he might have imagined. This is, in fact, his fate. This is who he is. As Hall noted in the live chat, "Undoubtedly, Dexter is permanently changed going forward because of what Trinity has done, because of Rita's murder. And I think for the first time, that Dexter will be saddled with this appetite for vengeance that can't be sated. Perhaps he'll slam shut every door he's opened in terms of his vulnerable, emotional human self."

3. Dexter will cut and run because of the questions surrounding Rita's murder. How will he explain it to Debra and the world? She's getting ever closer to lifting the veil on his secret life, and Rita's death -- and the way she was murdered -- will undoubtedly bring up lots of questions, especially now that Debra knows Dexter's true heritage.

4. Dexter will be a totally changed man, because he won't want Harrison to go through the same fate as him. When Dexter saw Harrison crying in that pool of blood, it was as if history was repeating itself in the next generation. Could Dexter really be a white picket-fence guy with no "dark passenger"? Maybe we'll see him struggling with a lifestyle makeover.
