That's called a plot-twist.
If they showed Trinity actually breaking into Dexter's house and killing Rita, the discovery of her body wouldn't have been surprising now, would it?
Trinity knew who Dexter was. From that point on, it wasn't exactly rocket-science to put everything together and find out where he stayed. That's why Dexter was sweating bullets when he saw him at the police station.
Gee, how shocking he has more than one facet of his personality. Just like... a *gasp*... real person! Most people would see that as the writers making him three dimensional, and not merely a cartoony one-note character. You seem to have an issue with character development.
Season 4 was awesome. Just because you didn't get it, doesn't mean the scene with Rita in the bath or Trinity at the train-set were flaws.
Dexter was sweating bullets because he knew his family was in danger yes. I can't recall the amount of time the finale takes place in, but it seemed like a huge stretch that Trinity had time to find Dexter's house and either show up with Rita there or have her show up immediately after she returned back.
For the fact that it almost feels like a continuity error is what I hated about the twist, not the twist itself which I found ballsy and heart-wrenching. And I'm not disagreeing that Trinity shouldn't have had a personality, I felt the writing in the middle episodes of the season weren't focused. Here you have this badass killer who's been murdering people for like 30 years and all of the sudden he wants to randomly commit suicide? What took him so long to come to that conclusion lol
I never said anything about the train set

God forbid someone can't not like the way a huge emotional twist was handled

JJJ Ulcer is right. Who cares if it makes sense. As long as the twist is great!
What arrogance. I like twists, love twists. But I don't like it when twists are done in a way that almost seems impractical or a huge stretch in believability.

That is great news.
