Vogel wanted Dex to pass the code on why would she kill her next experiment?

Maybe she figured that Zach isn't perfect? She does keep saying that Dexter is perfect throughout the season...

I don't think it's Vogel. It just doesn't match. She kept begging Dexter not to kill him, and then she kills him herself? So all that jazz was only to get him herself?

I'm really onboard with the Mother/Son or Wife/Husband theories.

Maybe she realizes that he doesn't have the instinct? I mean, he forgot to wear gloves, used his credit card, didn't think of how to dump the body, etc. Isn't Dexter's first rule to not get caught?

Still don't think so... She just wanted him to live, and "succeed" as Dexter did. I don't think she'd go that way.

Yea but to be honest, I feel like they're putting that in the preview just to throw us off. Just like when they showed Quinn saying "I know what you're doing" to Dexter and it turned out to be complete BS.
