WHAT IF DEXTER SEASON 8 WAS GOOD? (PART ONE)

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.

Episode 1:

A month after killing LaGuerta, a shattered and guilt-ridden Debra has quit her job at Miami Metro and joined a private investigation company. In her absence, Batista has returned from retirement and become Lieutenant.Miami Metro investigates a new serial killer, the "Brain Surgeon", and receives unexpected help from psychopath expert Evelyn Vogel (Charlotte Rampling), who appears to have a special interest in Dexter. Dexter warns Debra that Briggs is working with a dangerous mob hitman, but ends up going after Briggs and killing him due to his concern of Debra, which pushes Deb and Dexter further apart. Dexter goes on to investigate Vogel but he is then confronted by her with murderous drawings from his childhood, and she reveals that she knows about Harry's Code. 

Episode 2:
Vogel reveals to Dexter that she helped Harry create his Code, harboring a perverse interest and admiration for psychopaths. She asks Dexter to track down the Brain Surgeon, whom she believes to be one of her former patients and a grave hazard to her life but Dexter refuses claiming he has to fix things with his sister first. Debra has a violent confrontation with the hitman Briggs was working with and eventually murders him; Dexter finds her blood at the crime scene, but hides it from the police. After agreeing to help Vogel, Dexter tracks down one of Vogel's patients, Lyle Sussman, whom he believes is the Brain Surgeon, but discovers he has been murdered and his brain has been removed.
