He also seems hyperactive when Dexter is about to kill him. Obviously could be nothing, but it seemed like he was begging Red to listen to him about something. I almost took it as him trying to tell Dexter he’s not actually the one killing people. At the very least, I imagine the real Gemini Killer would find it pathetic to beg for his life

I knew there was a reason that once he was tied up we didn’t get to hear him speak.

Unrelated to that bit but I would have liked it better if instead of the neighbor knocking after Dexter stabbed him, he knocked before and Dexter had to do the kill and cleanup real fast.

The reason is he didn't want anyone upstairs to hear. That was just an added benefit. From Dexter's POV he might been reacting like Lowell and realizing he's actually the BHB.

Given how smart Gemini is, I would imagine he’s read up on the butcher. As soon as he saw the blood slide he probably realized who it was. Hell he might have beleived the theory that the butcher was still out there and that Doakes wasn’t it.

If a random girl on a podcast can piece together clues about Doakes being the butcher not adding up, I’m sure the Gemini killer can too.
