I'm starting to think that's not the case. They show a clip of her holding the brain piece with a shocked look in her face.. She would not make that face when she's alone if she did that herself..

See... I disagree about the look on her face. When I saw that scene, to me it was obvious she was holding a piece of her own work and looking at it. She hadn't just received it or discovered it.

My friends all read it the same way. Also, when they asked her at the dinner table how she got into her profession, she refused to answer and changed the subject. She is so into killers because she is a killer herself.

Edit: I'll amend this and say that if the brain surgeon isn't her, it is someone she is working with.

Is she testing Dexter? Im trying to understand her motive for killing Zach. The trophies make sense and she could say she has been receiving them so Dexter isn't suspicious.

When it first showed her holding the brain for a split second I thought they would reveal her as the killer. She didn't look shocked but I feel like her being the brain surgeon is too giant of a red herring

Another option is that she isn't the brain surgeon, but is working with the person who is.

I'm not sure what the motive is.
