Actually, nothing in the actual episode suggest that he is no longer killing. In fact, it all suggest that Dexter realized who he really was (when Dexter says: You force me to look to myself. and Saxon asks: And what do you see? Dexter: A trace of blood and body parts.) And he realized what that has caused to everyone he ever loved, and that he had to protect Harrison and Hannah from that.

So he is still killing, what would Dexter be protecting his family from if he is no longer killing? It's just logic people, and the episode supports that. I don't care whatever they may say, this is the only way the ending makes sense. And it is what all people interpretated too, so I'm sticking with it.
