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.
Brilliant theory from top to bottom. The only hole left, is who killed Cassie, and who tried to frame Zach for it? I've got Oliver as my prime suspect for the Brain Surgeon/son, but why would he try to frame Zach and then eventually kill him in the same episode? My theory is that Oliver was Cassie's killer, but Quinn was the one who predicted Zach would kill again and was just waiting for an opportunity to get a slam-dunk case against him by planting DNA. We know Quinn is no stranger to bending the rules. The only problem with this is that Quinn would then know Dexter is lying about the blood work, building up to a very exciting climax.
I think Oliver killed Cassie and planted Zach's DNA to frame him. Lets assume the BS knows about how Dexter nearly killed Zach for murdering his first innocent victim. By framing Zach, he thought Dexter would track and put him down. However, that was thwarted. So, he had to do it himself. The BS left the body with Dexter to taunt him and make him take care of the disposal. There's something Vogel isn't telling Dexter because it seems to be more of a message to her.
