Quick recap

Dexter is in jail, accused of killing Rita and abusing Astor, and the police even fake evidence. Deborah cuts him off. Brian posts bail and hires a lawyer, but a Mexican cartel Brian once robbed keeps trying to kill Dexter to get to him. When the kids are kidnapped, Deborah reaches out to her brother again. The lawyer turns out to be feeding everything to Raul, the cartel boss. On Raul's yacht, the three of them rescue the kids, and Deborah takes them away. Brian dies in a bomb he set himself, and Deborah kills Raul. Dexter sets off one last bomb, jumps off the yacht and sinks unconscious into the sea.
