Unseen by the citizens of his new upstate Iron Lake, New York, home, long-suffering Deb is not letting her murderous brother cause pain in her afterlife. For once, Deb has control. Hall on his serial killer 'rustiness' after eight-year gap. Deb always believed, since discovering her brother Dexter's homicidal compulsion, that she could help him stop, Carpenter says. Clearly she was incorrect, and the impact Dexter's continued killing had on her life was profound.
For her own mental health, Carpenter says she advocated for her loyal character to die in Season 8. But in a lament voiced by the show's fans post-finale, Carpenter did not appreciate her sibling's approach to putting her to rest in the ocean grave. It's absurd," Carpenter says. Carpenter started her acting preparation imagining Dexter robbing his sister from heaven after her traumatic death by bringing her to his frigid new home. During the penultimate season , she not only knew Dexter's secret, but also covered for and helped him.
This led to her being forced into a situation that went against everything that she stood for -- killing an innocent woman to protect Dexter and herself. She then worked as a Private Investigator for Elway Investigations for a short time before reluctantly returning to Miami Metro. Next to Harry , the most influential person in Dexter's life was his adoptive sister, Debra.
She was the one who, since childhood, enhanced his "human side. Evelyn Vogel , Debra "became a mirror, reflecting a positive image" of Dexter that he used to "balance out the notion of himself as a monster" " Scar Tissue ". When young Debra had her new puppy confiscated by her father , Dexter attempted to tell her that it was because he killed animals, but he was utterly stopped by Harry. Confused, Dexter asked Harry why he couldn't tell her.
After listening to Harry explain the repercussions of doing so, Dexter realized that Debra would be deeply impacted by knowing about his dark urges. He decided to keep his animal kills later humans a secret from her and, for the majority of Debra's lifetime, he was able to do so. Dexter was always the most important person in Debra's life, but she didn't have access to his feelings, which was all she ever wanted.
Debra loved the man that she thought Dexter was, as she only knew of his best qualities -- a loving father, and a relatively good husband. However, when she walked in on Dexter killing Travis Marshall , Debra was completely astonished. Thinking quickly, Dexter said that he had "snapped" and killed him on impulse. Debra reluctantly helped Dexter burn down the abandoned church where he killed Marshall, destroying evidence of the crime. Even after Debra discovered his trophies and kill tools , Dexter still cared about her feelings and tried to reason with her, but found himself rejected by her.
Eventually, Debra's mindset began to change when Dexter targeted a psychotic serial killer who later attacked her. She begrudgingly admitted that Dexter's actions likely prevent killers from committing further murders. But after being forced into a corner by Dexter's actions , she shot an innocent woman and became deeply enraged at him.
She then quit her police job, began to drink heavily, and isolated herself from Dexter and her former life. For months, she was tormented by her irrevocable act. However, Debra was able to later reconcile with her brother through the help of Dr.
Vogel and their bond was reestablished. Debra even encouraged Dexter to move to Argentina with Hannah a person Debra initially hated so that he could have a happy life. Dexter's love for Debra was finally evinced after she was shot in the abdomen by Oliver Saxon and ended up in a coma - from a blood clot.
Recognizing a future in which Debra would never eat on her own, speak, or have brain activity, Dexter unplugged Debra's life-support and told her that he loved her.
Those would be his final words to Debra -- words that she had wanted to hear. Debra killed three characters during the series, however, in "A Little Reflection ," she incorrectly states that she killed TWO people.
This likely excludes Carlos Fuentes as it was judged a lawful killing, and the Fuentes Brothers were not referenced after Season Five. Debra always had a large role in the story, usually on the other half of the hunt for serial killers that Dexter targeted. She represented the side of law and justice through the Miami Metro Police Department while Dexter was the darker side hunting the killers to put them down.
Despite being smart, she is unsure of herself, so instead relies on Dexter's seemingly limitless expertise on murderers to solve difficult cases. Initially assigned to Vice, she is desperate to be transferred to homicide. After Thomas Matthews promotes her, she gains confidence in herself and relies less on Dexter's abilities and more on her own. She doesn't realize that Rudy is dating her in order to get close to Dexter, and she falls in love with him. In " Truth Be Told ," Rudy proposes to Debra, and she accepts, but then she is immediately kidnapped by him.
Debra is bound to a table in the same manner that Dexter kills his victims, while Brian pressures Dexter to end her life. In the show, she is unconscious but in Darkly Dreaming Dexter , she is wide awake and finds out that Dexter is a killer. Debra is severely affected by Rudy's betrayal, and she moves in with Dexter for fear of being alone.
She buries herself in work, and is wary of Gabriel Bosque when she begins a relationship with him. In mid-season, Debra and Lundy develop a romantic relationship. While living in Dexter's apartment , Debra keeps leaving the place a mess to the point where Dexter says, half-jokingly, "I will not kill my sister.
She is more determined than ever to earn a detective shield. However, she is very upset when Frank Lundy leaves Miami due to his work. As Season Three begins, Debra's hair has been cut to shoulder length. She has "sworn off men, liquor, and smokes" and is even more dead set on earning her silver detective shield. She is working with a new partner, Detective Joey Quinn , who both annoys her and attracts her. She is soon approached by Yuki Amado , an Internal Affairs officer, who tells her that her partner, Quinn, is being investigated as a dirty cop, but Debra refuses to assist Amado.
Debra is originally part of the team investigating the murder of Miguel Prado 's brother, Oscar , but because of her lack of tact and people skills, she is removed from the case by the newly-promoted Detective Sergeant Batista.
Fortunately for her, the case she is assigned to the murder of a young woman is found to be connected to the Skinner Case. While working with Anton Briggs , a C. However, because of her success on the Skinner Case, she is given her detective shield. During a conversation between Debra and Dexter, he mentions that her father had slept with one of his confidential informants.
This blindsides Debra as she idolizes Harry. Driven to learn the identity of the woman, Debra asks Francis for the files on Harry's former C. One of the files is Laura Moser yet unknown to her to be Dexter's biological mother. Meanwhile, her relationship with Anton is on shaky ground, especially when he obtains a gig in the city instead of on a cruise ship. Anton is happy to spend more time with Debra, but she is conflicted because Frank Lundy has returned to Miami to hunt The Trinity Killer.
While working with Lundy on the case, Debra once again becomes involved with him. Soon, both she and Lundy are shot by an unknown assailant at first suspected to be the Vacation Murderers. Lundy dies, but Debra later recovers. While in the hospital, Debra confesses to Anton that she slept with Lundy, and they break up. The police begin to suspect that The Trinity Killer is the shooter. However, Debra discovers that Trinity could not have been the shooter because her bullet wound is a horizontal line.
This convinces her that the shooter is someone shorter than Trinity, similar to Masuka 's height. During a Thanksgiving dinner, Debra remembers a conversation with Christine Hill. Debra realizes that Christine's knowledge of the shooting was not released outside the police department. This leads her to believe that Christine is the shooter. This is backed up later when it is revealed that she is the daughter of Trinity. When Debra confronts Christine, she confesses to being the shooter, moments before she shoots herself in the head.
She relays this information to Dexter who acts completely shocked, although he already knew this. The story picks up immediately after the close of Season Four.
