Dexter is currently in a position I'd argue we've never seen him in before: He has a partner. And not just any partner: He has a partner who is now, when it boils down to it, dictating his purpose, at least when it comes to his current extracurricular activities. Dexter may be the teacher, but Lumen is making the lesson plan: Kill Cole and Jordan Chase, the two men still alive from the odd, possibly cultist twisted boys' club who abused and raped her, and murdered others. And, for better or worse, probably worse, she wants to be involved every step of the way. He's even going to teach her how to prep a kill room next week--how sweet.Why is Dexter risking so much to take on someone else's problem--someone who's new to the murder business, is volatile, and almost got him caught last week? Perhaps it's because he sees himself in her, also "born in blood." Maybe he enjoys the camaraderie, the honesty, the ability to be himself and share a secret (though he should remember how his past partners have turned out--dead). He could be attracted to her. Maybe he's subconsciously punishing himself for Rita's death--or even attempting to absolve himself--by sticking his neck out for a victim in a way that Harry would deem reckless and rule-breaking. From the awkward, half-mentor, half-flirty relationship that Lumen and Dexter seem to be establishing (and show no signs of breaking off any time soon) I'd say it's a combination of all these.
