I'm really surprised that anyone saw her death as shocking or unexpected. I said it from the beginning of the season she would be dead by the end and if you watch her progression over this past season it was obvious she was on her way out. The character had devolved into a bitchy, controlling, intrusive obstruction to Dexter and in order for the show as a whole to evolve Dexter needed to be less constricted and the only way that would happen was for Rita to die. I just wonder if Trinity is the actual killer. I know that Lithgow stated it after the show but how much does he actually know. They did shoot or at least rehearse scenes in which we see Trinity kill her but they weren't used in the episode and since the next season isn't figured out yet I'm guessing the writers are contemplating who actually will be the killer. I do think no matter what Dexter will be investigated because so much happened in the finale to lay questions at his feet from Deb actually knowing his relation to the Ice Truck Killer and Batista seeing him with Trinity in the office and even Quinn questioning his every move. I think next season is going to be intense and Dexter will come under more scrutiny than ever.
