Dexter 2x06

Dex, Lies & Videotape. Remember? Well, Dexter’s been finding out his foster father Harry didn’t tell the truth or at least hid the truth about a great many things. In fact, it’s Harry who might have jeopardized the situation, using Laura (Dex’ mother) as an informant to catch a big shipment of cocaine, and so allowing the bloodbath that caused her death. Dex starts to question Harry’s Code, all the rules he has been living by to hide in plain side the fact that he is compelled to kill. When Sgt. Doakes hears from Deb that Dex is no junkie, it raises his suspicion again. He starts snooping around in Dex’ office, finding the audio tapes of Harry interviewing Laura. Dex tells Doakes to “back the fuck off,” then walks to Lt. LaGuerta complaining about Doakes snooping in his office and trailing him.

At work the Miami Homicide department is tracking a wannabe vigilante imitating the Bay Harbor Butcher. Amazing stuff when FBI agent Lundy has a conversation with blood analyst Dex about the method and madness of the serial killer! Good for Dexter he has no feelings, so he doesn’t show he’s nervous! What does make him anxious, though, are the security videos at the harbor where he docks his boat ... since that would show him scrubbing and cleaning ... and that would look pretty bad! He desperately wants to delete the files... So he arranges a fake fire drill to clear the office ... and erase the evidence! Problem with the would-be vigilante, though, is that if he would kill someone, it will become a case for the FBI ... and that won’t be good for Dex. So, can you guess what his solution is? Yeah, exactly, he kills him ... and leaves his remains for his colleagues to find.

Messing as usual in her daughter’s affairs, Rita’s mother asks Dexter to bring Lila over for dinner... Of course, Lila is acting her luscious self ... singing praise ... except that she talks too much ... and tells them his secret: that his mother was murdered in a brutal massacre! Later Rita overhears a voice message about Dex’ trip with Lila, when they were looking for the murder of his mother... She misunderstands that he slept with Lila... In his anger that Rita dumped him, of course, he ends up sleeping with Lila anyway (because that’s how guys are). And right after, Rita calls offering him a chance to explain ... except that now he has to confess he did in fact just sleep with Lila ... and Rita tells him to leave. So, it’s not working very well for Dex to tell the truth ... because the truth hurts.
