This would have been a far better reveal. I guess you could liken it to any version of Superman where Lois Lane has to be told Clark is Superman. We're honestly expected to believe that one of the greatest investigative journalists can't eventually put two and two together. Same goes for a detective who's pretty damn good at her job. It's kind of insulting to the character to have them be that completely dense forever.

Personally, I'm hoping they 180 on the Deb loving Dexter thing as well. Pass it off as her confusing what she was feeling for him as love (or whatever else you want, considering her lack of healthy relationships with men it wouldn't be totally far fetched) and back the hell away from this storyline. Her coping with Dex being a serial killer is infinitely more interesting than her wanting to jump her brothers bones anyway.
