Noooooo! He will be there, won't he? After that performance in the bedroom? He must be crazy with longing for Sean after a year...
As in the first part, most of all I enjoy their interaction, there's such a strong sense there of them belonging together, of them forming a unit that only gets stronger and stronger with every new attack (oh my god, and right now I can't think properly because I am imagining what is going to happen to Sean and I want to kick Viggo for not going downstairs with him. So yeah, obviously I am enjoying the suspense, too).

I find their way of dealing with this interesting, their steadfast refusal to fully acknowledge the threat and their (and maybe most of all) Sean's refusal to let himself be driven out of his home. It's true, the police is probably not going to do much, but they are not exactly poor, they could hire a security firm or something, install cameras, employ a guard etc. Which wouldn't be fun, but more sensible in every way. What they are doing right now, this blatant provocation, seems to be forcing a response out of the stalker and not only the ones of us that watch Dexter might be able to imagine that he's not going to have a tea party with Sean when he gets him into his fingers. So I kind of want to slap them for their stupidity. But then they are so sweet with each other, and I want to see more of that intimacy, more of these reassurances (and I kind of hope that the cliffhanger is not a cliffhanger but that Sean is just getting a snack and comes back to bed and then we get to see them stagger under the growing pressure- a couple of days where nothing happens, then strange phone calls at odd hours and both of them unraveling slowly but steadily- but that's just my fucked up mind talking, ignore me ;))

What I liked most was the keepsafe charm and this: He was shaking again, and Viggo hated this, hated that he could spend nearly an entire day calming Sean down and easing his fear, yet another letter would come in and cause Sean to be afraid all over again.
This captures his complete helplessness- despite all his attempts at defying the stalker there is nothing he can do, basically he can just stand there and watch Sean being threatened and taken from him and being inside his head we get a very creepy picture of how this must feel.

Am very much looking forward to the next part!
