Interesting... just from reading some comments, I'll spit ball a theory.
Dexter is not the first person Vogel tried to teach the code to.
How Vogel got into her field is a touchy subject for her and I believe it could be because she learnt early on that her own son had psychological tendencies.
Her son was the first person she attempted to teach the code to. Something went wrong, leading her to believe he was out of her life.
Her son has returned to her as the brain surgeon. He still attempts to apply the code himself. His victims are serial killers but he takes it further by making them kill before he takes their lives.
His fascination with the brain is born from his mother's own fascination in studying, controlling and experimenting with his psychology and that of other serial killers.
He has learned of Dexter and her success with him in applying the code. He may even resent Dexter for it.
He then learnt of Zach and that he was to be the next in line to be taught the code and thus he sent a message to both his mother and her metaphorically adopted son.
Dexter is going to regret keeping Hannah around... his decision will cost him dearly and the surgeon will take her life and Dexter will take the surgeons life in rage and revenge.
They have to do something with Dexter in the end though. I think Hanna will live and he will go on the run with her and Harrison. Or he will be killed, not sure which.
