...S5 E01 was a real tear-jerker. It showed Dexter's more human side, the side he's hidden from everyone including himself. The tragedy that occurred at the end of season 4 was sad, sure, but even sadder is Dex's response to the tragedy. In the next episode, he mentions stages of grief, and I think that fits the story to a T. He's driven mad by his emotions, something he previously thought he didn't have. When cracks in his stoic mannerisms appear, that's the Dexter I can sympathize with.
