WHAT IF DEXTER SEASON 8 WAS GOOD (PART 2)

I've already reviewed The Final Season of Dexter and like most people i found it to be really disappointing.

I have also done an article called 5 Ways Breaking Bad Should Not End. Then i thought to myself; how could have Dexter possibly ended in order to save this season? And here we are.

Except there's a little issue here. This season simply blows. Arcs go nowhere and i was really let down. Then i thought; What Could have been done differently in order to save this season?

So i went to Wikipedia and looked at each episode. I decided to make my own Final Season and you can feel free to judge it. I couldn't go completely off track with it because i wanted to improve on the Season, not just make my own.

THIS IS MY TAKE ON EPISODES 7-12 (SEE PART ONE HERE)

Episode 7:

After dumping Zach's body on the ocean Dexter believes to have seen Hannah McKay after a day at Miami Metro. Dexter goes on to alert Debra of the matter. After an argument Dexter leaves Deb's place. As he arrives home with his son Harrison ,he meets his neighbor's boyfriend Oliver Saxon. Debra informs her boss of Hannah's return to Miami and after seeming to be followed by Hannah, Debra tries to arrest Hannah, but stops when Hannah convinces her that she loves Dexter. Afterward, Dexter is contacted by Hannah who tells him to meet her at her hotel room, where they have sex and reconcile. Dexter receives a call to a crime scene only to find out his neighbor Cassie has been murdered by the Brain Surgeon.

Episode 8:

Dexter finds evidence that Saxon may be Vogel's long lost son and after informing Vogel of that,the two confront each other. Saxon tells Dexter to leave him alone but Dexter says he cannot let him go after what he did to both Zach and Cassie. Saxon tells Dexter that he left him no choice and tells him to watch the news.

Despite her desire to help Saxon, Vogel decides to betray him after Dexter shows her the video of Zach's murder. Vogel brings Saxon to her house as a trap, but he quickly realizes he is being set up. When Dexter arrives, Saxon murders Vogel and escapes. As Dexter grieves for Vogels death, Dexter decides he will kill Saxon no matter what it costs.
