Dexter 2x07

Our friend Dexter, otherwise known as the Bay Harbor Butcher, is enjoying Lila’s company – to put it euphemistically. Rita still has to deal with her overbearing mother ... who is even interfering with the kids’ education and upbringing... Rita finally realizes, it’s not her, it’s her mother. She leaves no room for anybody else to exist. When defending herself, Rita’s mother ends up humiliating her daughter as well as the kids without even knowing it. So Rita tells her to shut the fuck up, pack up and go home. You go, girl! Deb is starting to realize that Gabe is not her man, that actually she is developing feelings for the much older Lundy. Surrogate father kind of thing. He inspires her to find peace in her chaos. She isn’t even listening to Gabe anymore. Instead of going home with Gabe, she returns to Dex’ place, where she bumps into a naked Lila, “Oh, pardon my tits,” in luscious British accent. Eventually, Deb does break up with Gabe. Then she has lunch with Lundy. They chat, she opens up to him, and they kiss. I just don’t know if I should go “aaawww” or “eeewww”...

At work, Miami Metro received a manifesto written by the Bay Harbor Butcher, which Dexter wrote to throw them off. It’s a patch-up, mix-and-match, cut-and-paste job, filled with references to send them on a wild goose chase, and stall the investigation. Everyone has their own interpretation of what kind of person the serial killer must be, and then it dawns on Lundy, that’s exactly what the Bay Harbor Butcher wants: confusion, chaos. He concludes the killer must be a law enforcer. Dex also angers Sgt. Doakes so bad, Doakes threatens him, and Dex tells him, no matter how hard he tries, he’ll always be one step ahead of him, then butts him in the head and walks right out of his office. Doakes runs after him, slams him to the floor, and starts pounding, right in front of the whole department! All Lt. LaGuerta can do is put Doakes on indefinite suspension. Wow, another great episode!
