kinda going crazy over how after the ep 7 fight, both em and dex actually worked on themselves, especially on the things they fought over. emma said she didn't remember the last time dexter was sober, so he worked on his overcoming his alcoholism. dexter claimed emma hadn't done anything with her life and that she's in an unhappy relationship, so she hit rock bottom but bounced right back up by ending her relationship and working on her book. i just love how even when they weren't around in each other's lives, these two were so intertwined and had such a major impact on each other. the distance was bittersweet but it also allowed them to grow into the people they were by the end. so yeah, they absolutely DID grow up together, even when they were apart.
