Dexter 3x01

Somehow it still troubles me I’m watching a tv show about a serial killer... But, truth be told, I’ve become fascinated. Apparently, since the Bay Harbor Butcher’s case was closed, Dexter has had a busy summer, killing at least half a dozen people. He is already planning his next victim: some guy nicknamed “Freebo,” who got away with murder – twice: two blond co-eds. Freebo’s a drug dealer; Dex first approaches him for a fix to check out the scene; but when he returns and breaks in, Dex walks in on Freebo fighting with some stranger; and Dex ends up killing the stranger! Who the hell is he? He’s the younger brother of a Miami state prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado! Oh, man, of all people! Both Deb and Dex suspect there’s something more going on... What was this guy doing in a drug dealer’s house? Moreover, Miguel the prosecutor wants to know why Dex has been searching databases for information about his dead brother Oscar. In the conversation that ensues, they form a bond and Miguel invites Dexter to attend Oscar’s wake.

Dex’ buddy Angel Batista is made Sgt. (replacing Doakes). At Lt. LaGuerta’s suggestions, Batista takes Deb off the Prado case, because she lacks the tact to deal with such a high profile case. She’d already blurted out Oscar was a junkie, right when Miguel Prado walked into the office. There’s also a new guy on the team, Det. Joey Quinn (the actor who plays Jack Bass on Gossip Girl), who takes a liking to Deb. And hawt Yuki Amado (the Asian chick, Ivy, from The Dollhouse), an Internal Affairs officer, is offering Deb a chance at promotion if she informs on Quinn. But Deb being Deb, she refuses to rat on a colleague, because she wants to become Detective on her own accord. Meanwhile, Dexter is back with Rita, playing dad for her kids, settling into a nice routine. They often make whoopee between the sheets, and Rita is starting to crave chocolate pudding all the time. Then she realizes, she must be pregnant! This was a slow but fun premiere of the season, not the explosive excitement of last season, but interesting enough.
