I get that, but that's why he has been trying to investigate and make a case this whole season to have proof enough to arrest him. If he wanted to kill Dexter he had all the opportunities in the world to do so. Like in the car scene where he dropped his airpods. Or even after they killed the people who wanted Dexter to kill Batista. Or basically at any other moment.

It does make some sense that he wants to kill Dexter, but not in that situation.

We've already seen this several times.

Well when you say it like that it does make me realize that that part is also most likely gonna end the same way as before...
Maybe a little drama with keeping Harrison in his life or some such, but that's if.

Plus with only one episode left there isn't enough time left to do that much.

Rich white dude that is hanging out with the bay harbour butcher ?

Dexter "hangs out with" dozens of innocent people. Is he supposed to assume that all of them have murderous intent?

If he wanted to kill Dexter he had all the opportunities in the world to do so.

He didn't want to kill him. But he was put into a precarious situation and was trying to fight his way out. Just because Dexter cut him loose doesn't mean he was going to let him go free.

Hmm yes? He should at least assume that they could be dangerous. How could Batista rule out prater when he knows that Dexter hunts down serial killers?

I just don't buy the fact that in such a precarious situation you turn on the one person in the room that is not actively threatening your life and has actually freed you.
