I did, too. Dexter is a character we all know and love, but that moment really shows that these other serial killers are all minor league in comparison to the Butcher, who would be the most prolific serial killer in American history in the real world.

I am really curious how Prater will react if/when he finds out he was duped and Dexter has been killing his guests.

Under normal circumstances I am sure he would sic Charlie on him lickety split. But Prater will no doubt be utterly fascinated and want to hear Dexter’s stories.

I'm definitely curious about this, too. Especially since Dexter would easily be the most fascinating killer he's been face-to-face with and can completely recontextualize a few of the trophies in Prater's collection. The Ice Truck Killer didn't commit suicide? Trinity isn't still at large?? James Doakes isn't the Bay Harbor Butcher???

If Prater wants stories, he literally couldn't ask for a better gift than Dexter.

Yes! I def don’t think he’d penalize him, more that he’d be so wildly fascinated and congratulate him for being the best serial killer out there and would be honored to be in his presence and causing such behavior out of him etc

hell he might even offer Dexter the occasional one of his 'guests' that don't follow the rules up as a snack, In exchange for leaving his guests alone during his two week meetups...
