Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
"Argentina" was a big Dexter episode, and not just because it ran about seven minutes longer than the usual chapters. It wasn't exactly action-packed, but it contained a handful of truly excellent one-on-one scenes; something that I don't often get the chance to praise this series for. The scenes Dexter had with Deb, Hannah and Isaak were remarkable, and I find myself wanting to laud this episode in the same way I'd compliment, say, an episode of Game of Thrones for just really great dialogue and scene work.
But, and I hate that there's a "but" at all, there's an element back in play now that I'm not 100% crazy about. As most of you know, I'm totally not down with the "Deb is in love with Dexter" story. And when I saw the "Previously on Dexter..." tag at the beginning (which can totally be spoilery for the upcoming themes of the episode) and they showed Deb talking to her therapist about loving Dex, I essentially became Vader screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" And now I'm torn. Because I've criticized this show for dropping stories cold, and yet I'd love for this one to die and never be spoken of again. All on a season that's done such a great job of readdressing stories and themes from past seasons like never before. So I'll give it a chance. Yeah, you heard me.
