Technically he didnt put her on the table, but he was going to murder her all the same.

Yeah I mean at best Dexter indirectly caused their deaths. With Doakes, I can still see it as somewhat of a grey area. Doakes came after and confronted Dexter, putting his back against the wall. Dexter didnt want Doakes to die, wasnt planning on killing him or having him killed, but was put in a position where he had to defend himself and dealt with a huge moral dilemma trying to find a way out of it that didnt result in Doakes dying. It doesnt justify Dexters actions or Doakes death, but Id chalk this one up to collateral damage and not an intentional death, Dexter tried to avoid it but other parties made it unavoidable. Laguerta on the other hand, is 100% Dexters fault. He wanted to kill her, fully intended on killing her, lured her out to danger, subdued her, etc. even though Deb ultimately did the deed, it all was possible because Dexter directly orchestrated the killing of Laguerta with the full intention of doing it himself. Batista has every right to blame Dexter for his ex-wifes death.

With all the heat on Dexter hed never agree to work for the police under seemingly normal circumstances. It would have to be an explicit agreement that Wallace knows who Dexter is but wants him to work for her rather than capture him. But if that happens, I could see something like this coming true. It would also require good faith on Wallaces part; which means she may ultimately be the cause of Batistas downfall. Imagine Wallace turning on Batista and then pressuring Dexter to work for her to help catch the Ripper. Now, Dexter has little choice but also knows he can somewhat trust her, if she took down Batista and is making the offer.

Deb literally tried to make Dexter do his thing and kill Hannah

I feel you, it is repetitive. But at the same time, I dont think its necessarily for convenience or lazy writing or anything like that. Its showing that Dexters lifestyle always leads to loss. It always has, and it always will. For him to indulge in his urges, means that those around him that he cares about pay a price. And hell never find a way to balance it so that doesnt happen. He can either stop killing, or stop getting close to people, or keep watching them pay for getting too close to the BHB.
