"Just dropping somebody off..."
This is another good episode, although primarily it consists of wrapping up last episode's main plot about Dexter losing his mojo. But this time around he finally manages- eventually- to secure his victim, looking visibly relieved as he makes the kill. His dead brother appears to him, but Dexter seems to let go. He also finds a solution to where to drop the bodies- the good old Gulf Stream, launching those lovely little cadavers towards the vicinity of my own native island. How delightful.
Yet he still has problems. The bodies from his previous kills cannot be un-discovered, and an FBI prosecutor is on his case, played by the same actor who plays Wild Bill Hickock in Deadwood. This character seems competent, and decent... but, interestingly, he rebuffs Doakes' request for a secondment. Why, and where is this going?
And Doakes is still stalking Dexter. Surely Dexter is underplaying the risk of being discovered...?
Elsewhere, Deb is not coping well with her PTSD, understandably, and the police are being somewhat unreasonable, to put it mildly, in expecting anything else. She may earn a feather in her cap from some drug arrests, but that stems from some disturbing behaviour. At least Dexter, trying to be a good brother, is now willing to let her stay.
LaGuerta continues to slowly get the upper hand with the new Lieutenant, in a rather interesting little arc. But we conclude with a real bombshell... Rita has been a little off with Dexter all episode, processing her feelings about Paul. And, having found the shoe, she inevitably demands answers from Dexter. And.... things go in a very unexpected direction!!!
This season is starting off a little bit bonkers. And I'm here for it...
