Dexter season 4 episode 12, titled "The Getaway," is a nail-biting culmination of the entire season. The episode opens with Dexter preparing for his ultimate plan to take down the Trinity Killer, Arthur Mitchell.

As Dexter in his usual ritualistic style gets himself and his tools ready, the scene quickly transitions to Arthur's family, where his wife is frantically packing bags to flee with her two children. She finally gets the nerve to stand up to Arthur, after years of abuse and manipulation. She has figured out that he is the Trinity Killer and needs to protect her children from his wrath.

Meanwhile, Dexter deals with the realization that he cannot make it to his son's birthday party. His wife Rita, who doesn't know about Dexter’s secret life, is not too impressed with his thoughtlessness.

Back on the Trinity Killer's trail, Dexter sets up a fake chase to make Arthur believe Dexter is chasing him down. As the two face-off, Dexter stabs Arthur in the same manner Arthur has killed his victims - three times, one for each victim.

With the kill achieved, Dexter emotionally sits with his lifeless body in the bathtub amidst the bloody mess. However, the tension isn't over yet. As soon as Dexter gets back to his house, he finds Rita's lifeless body in the bathtub, killed by the Trinity Killer.

The rest of the episode pans out in typical Dexter fashion as he skillfully covers his tracks to protect him and his family from the authorities and to avenge Rita's death, all the while keeping a calm and composed demeanor.

"The Getaway" effectively wraps up the entire season's plot threads in a satisfying way, one that satisfies the show's fans while providing plenty of action, suspense, and drama. As a result, it’s safe to say that this episode will keep viewers on the edge of their seats till the very end.
