This second season of Dexter has a brilliant story arch of Dexter’s introspection as a result of his inadvertent attendance of the Narcotics Anonymous. Dex is confronted by the fact that his foster father wasn’t the straight and narrow upright police officer he always believed he was. A poster at some homicide scene of the “Dark Avenger” provokes a flashback to the time young Dexter witnessed the bloodbath in which his mother perished. The memory leads him to see if any of the murderers are still alive ... and he learns that one is actually still on the loose. In the archives he also finds audio tapes ... another brilliantly unexpected plot twist ... because they are interviews of Dex’ foster father Harry with his biological mother Laura! She was an informant for the police! Harry knew her before the bloodshed! No, more than that: Harry had an affair with Laura!!! Soon after he takes a trip with his N.A. sponsor Lila to confront his mother’s murderer, but I found that a bit anticlimactic...
When Rita’s mother hears that Dexter is in the N.A. program, she tells him to leave her daughter alone. Rita insists she feels safe for the first time in her life and will choose Dex over her if she has to. So her mother decides to give Dex another shot, but will move in with Rita, just to stay close! Awkward. Deb doesn’t know if she can trust her new date, Gabriel. So she goes through his things ... his drawers ... his e-mails ... and believes he’s writing a piece about her, “The Ice Princess,” hoping to cash in on the notorious Ice Truck Killer she went out with. But Special Agent Lundy, concerned over his favorite officer, ran a back check that showed Gabriel is a children’s books writer. Aw! How sweetly innocent! Wanting to be sure there really are no blood stains left on his boat, Dex goes to the harbor at night to give it a thorough cleaning using black light to spot any stains – not knowing that FBI Agent Lundy installed security cameras that record everything going on at the harbor...! Exciting episode!!
