Rita's Death Was the Cherry on Top of 'Dexter's' Best and Most Shocking Season

Dexter may have other love interests later on, but none were as sweet, or as doomed, as Rita. Everything changes after this moment, and the final four seasons are all about Dexter coping with loss, trying to protect his son, and narrowly avoiding getting caught by his increasingly suspicious coworkers. Dexter may have other love interests later on, but none were as sweet, or as doomed, as Rita.As she gets ready for their first date together, Dexter charms her two kids, Astor and Cody, displaying a soft paternal side that’s at such odds with the cold-blooded murderer we see elsewhere in the pilot episode. As the series goes on, Rita becomes an integral part of the plot: she provides the loving family Dexter craves, but she’s also an obstacle he must overcome to continue practicing his brand of vigilante justice.Dexter’s writers always seemed to have trouble fleshing Rita out into a full character and knowing what to do with her. There are times when fans found Rita’s to be annoying, especially during season 2 when she thinks Dexter has a drug problem. She became a bit of a caricature of an oblivious/nagging girlfriend this season, pushing Dexter to attend a 12-step program where he meets the pyromaniac seductress Lila West (Jaime Murray).Dexter’s fourth season premiered on September 27, 2009 with an episode called “Living The Dream.” It’s an apt title because Dexter and Rita got married during the third season finale and are now parents to an infant son named Harrison. Dexter is trying his hardest to be a loving family man, but he gets increasingly edgy when he can’t satisfy his “dark passenger” with murder.

Inside Rita Konig's smart London house, created by combining two flats into one | House & Garden

Eager to have more room for herself and her daughter, Rita Kong bought the flat above her London home and combined them to create one cohesive space that has all the trademarks of her design, including inventive details, bold use of pattern and a blending of the beautiful and the practical This is typical of Rita's approach to decorating: she is inventive, refreshingly pragmatic, meticulous in her planning, and understands what it means to live life well. No wonder, then, that the designer, named as this year's House & Garden Interior Designer of the Year, is in huge demand, both here and in the US.Despite the specialist finishes and fabrics, this is a house built on practicality. Masses of storage has been cleverly carved out wherever possible - hidden behind beautiful batik-patterned curtains in the hallway leading to the study, or on full show in the floor-to-ceiling cupboards that fill one wall of the kitchen and dining room. 'I think good storage can make you feel just as happy and settled as having an extra room,' observes Rita.What always strikes me about Rita's interior design projects is the level of detail. Here, it includes the way she has up-sized the internal doors to create a feeling of generosity and her addition of a dado rail and panelling to the sitting room walls, all of which she has had specialist painted in faux bois. She goes to lengths that many would not even consider. For example, she moved the garden gate to improve the route to the house - a costly decision that ended up with the entire garden wall having to be rebuilt right at the end of the project.Rita Konig. Elizabeth Metcalfe is House & Garden’s Features Editor. She joined the magazine in 2015, with a BA in English Literature from King’s College London and a Masters from the Courtauld Institute of Art. Her interest in interiors was sparked through a Saturday job working in Pentreath & Hall when she...
