Dexter 2x02

Serial killer Dexter is on edge ... he’s failed twice to kill his victim ... and now scuba divers have surfaced the remains of the people he did kill before... Miami homicide is bringing in this rock star FBI agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), who has successfully cracked many serial killer cases. “This is the guy who stands between me and death row,” Dexter thinks. Here’s the delicious irony, of course, the serial killer they are looking for (dubbed the Bay Harbor Butcher in the media) is right in the room with them getting debriefed how much (or, rather, how little) they know about him.

At work, Dexter’s case involves the heroine-addict mother of the man slaughtered in the previous episode. Since she suffered the same machete wounds, the assumption is that “Little Chino” must be behind this murder, too. Dex is still having trouble killing this giant Mexican gang lord Little Chino. Eventually, though, he manages to get mad enough to do the deed. But then he has to get rid the corpse ... he chooses the Atlantic Gulf Stream current as it passes Florida ... hoping the corpse will drift far away enough...

Storylines are even more compelling than last season! Dex’s sis Deb is struggling to get her life back after the man she loved turned out to be the Ice truck Killer. Sgt. Doakes is still tailing Dexter whenever he can ... and meanwhile is thinking about a career move. Sgt. LaGuerta has learned personal information about the new Lieutenant, Esmee Pascal (that is, that her husband is cheating on her). And LaGuerta knows so well how to take advantage of that knowledge manipulation, nearly blackmailing Pascal.
