So now I’ve watched more and I have thoughts…. Their relationship isn’t something to aspire to have but it reflects life. I’ve read the book and Dexter has always wanted Emma but did not feel good enough for her. He had a bond with her, and as a man in his twenties - he told her that he couldn’t be in a relationship with her. That was his truth. He believed she deserved to know that which she did. Emma could’ve walked away but she (really both of them) valued their friendship so much that they stayed connected. I don’t agree that Emma was just waiting for him. She pulled away from the connection when his treatment of her became so detrimental and toxic. She followed her dreams. She dated other men. Just as Dexter moved on too. She made a choice to be with him. If she would’ve stayed with Jean Pierre, Dexter would’ve still been there as her friend because their bond was that deep. They loved each other without ties to anything extra. That’s unconditional. Their relationship reflected to me how we can miss out on great experiences/love connections because we’re not emotionally mature, or we’re insecure or we’re not good at communicating…that reflects so much of our reality especially when we’re young. If Dexter and Emma decided to be together when they were younger, they wouldn’t have worked. Dexter was deeply troubled and insecure. The women that he was with during those times didn’t get the best of him. They got the worst of him. Emma was worthy of more than that. When they were together, she got the best of him - the healing, stable, and monogamous version. Also in reference to cheating, it’s not a good thing but I still love the reflection of reality because this stuff happens. These characters are deeply flawed and imperfect which translates into imperfect decisions. Their kiss at the wedding was never an intention between either of them but I can understand why it happened… You have two people who have an incredible deep bond with each other and they haven’t seen each other in years…and they’re finally being vulnerable and honest with each other about what they mean to one another. It’s almost like whatever they stored away came rushing back full force, and I see the kiss as a closing door to what could’ve been. Emma has not given in to any advances from him since the night they met, and she decides to kiss him when she knows that’s he is engaged with a baby on the way… To me, that shows the deep regret/sadness/love that she is allowing herself to give into this moment because she believes this won’t ever happen for them. For Dexter to reciprocate, I believe it’s the same emotions he’s experiencing as well. If Emma would’ve told him that she loves him or that she wanted to be with him, I think he would’ve ended things with Sylvie but she wants to be a supportive friend but also she’s grieving deeply because this is the only man she has had deep feelings for. It’s just a mess of emotions and they don’t know how to handle them, and it’s easier to say that they shouldn’t have done what they did but I think it’s actually more truthful to their connection. In the book, they kiss (eyes open) and they’re kind of shell shocked and don’t know why they’re doing this - Dexter even wants to continue to stay in the maze because he wants to discuss everything between them but chickens out and asks if they’re still friends instead…
loved everything you said! again, them being deeply flawed, i think, is what made me connect to this series. i think it's great and allows an opportunity for self reflection because, like you said, even though we don't like what we see... IT'S LIFE, and IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY! truly my favorite part of watching shows. thank you for your comment! 💓
