"Get Gellar" is the ninth episode of the sixth season of the American crime drama television series Dexter. It is the 69th overall episode of the series and was written by Karen Campbell, and directed by Seith Mann. It originally aired on Showtime on November 27, 2011.
Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. In the episode, Dexter and Travis team up to track Gellar, while Debra pushes against LaGuerta's orders in re-opening a case.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.89 million household viewers and gained a 0.9 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, with many considering the twist ending predictable and anticlimactic.
