DEXTER -- "Resistance is Futile"
 Do not read any further if you have not seen this week’s episode of DEXTER. I’m very serious.
This is officially your last warning.
Fine. Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) and Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) were busy squishing haha’s. Slapping silly’s. Making the beast with two backs. They did “it.” And I’m not sure I will ever recover. Something about the whole thing gives me the ever-loving willies.
But we are here to discuss Dexter (Michael C. Hall). He is feeling a sense of loss and regret over ending his relationship with Rita (Julie Benz) and shacking up with the whackjob Lila (Jaime Murray). He spends the night outside of Rita’s house after chasing off the aforementioned nutball. In doing so, he is also leaving the quickly decomposing corpse of his latest kill in a drugrunner’s shack in the everglades.
After the Deb and Lundy ick-fest, things heat up in the Bay Harbor Butcher case but Lundy won’t tell Debra what’s up. Trouble in creepy paradise already.
Doakes (Erik King) is in Haiti after blowing off a big meeting with a private security firm, set up
The slides, the slides, the slides. Dexter finally gets home and finds them gone. “It’s over,” he says. And maybe the suspense could have borne this out but even when the federal agents show up to escort him to Lundy’s feet you knew they weren’t after him yet. Doakes left the slides in his car at the airport and his international trip allowed Lundy to get a warrant to search his place and the car. Doakes is their main suspect. Not Dexter.
This was a misstep
And a corpse he needs to clean up.
He also makes some headway patching things up with Rita, albeit in front of the feds. “Communication is the key,” says the agent on his left.
LaGuerta is coming apart trying to help her old partner and lover, Doakes. She tells him he is the prime suspect and then corners Debra hoping she will put pressure on Lundy to hold off making this all public. Debra counters this
Dexter slips out of his detail’s watchful eyes. Perhaps a bit too conveniently. He hurries off to his last kill site to finally clean up. Along with the corpse he is confronted
Now Dexter has to get back to his apartment, disguise his bullet wound, dispose of the corpse and get a pair of handcuffs off before he sees his detail in the morning. No problem. Only three episodes left in this great season. It’s going by too quickly.
