The Dexter finale was a train wreck, the creation of a bunch of pseudo-intellectual existentialists ending the show by needlessly ruining the life of every character. So they need to redeem themselves by penning a Movie-of-the-Week to clean up the damage, to the extent possible. The following story is one possibility.

With Starling City focused on cleaning up after the earthquake, no one notices a malevolent new threat slipping into town under the cover of darkness. And while fighting to eradicate this new threat, Oliver gets help from an unlikely source.

Starling City has suffered a mysterious attack by an unknown assailant and is threatened with a repeat performance. While city officials bumble to the rescue, everyone's favorite hooded vigilante, bow and arrows in hand, aided by his trusted associates, John Diggle and Felicity Smoak, sets out to make sure the first attack is the last.

Following the disastrous Queen Winter Gala, Oliver Queen tries to stop Kua Fu and Maurice Castle from implementing their ominous new technology and find out if his old friend, Jeremiah Castle, is somehow involved. The conclusion to "Icarus".

Oliver Queen has a busy week: first he confronts an international criminal organization operating in Starling City, then reconnects with an old friend, and finally tries to find a date for the Queen Winter Gala, the social event of the year (according to his mother).

The saga of Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer, finally comes to an end.

Dexter explores the meaning of 'family' and learns the hard way that Harry was right when he said, "Nothing stays buried forever."

Is the Season 6 finale really "the way the world ends" for Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer, or just his first painful step out of the dark and into the burning light?

Dexter has to straddle the line between an unwanted ghost from the past and a potentially dangerous new neighbor.
