Dexter 3x03

Dexter is grocery shopping with Rita & the kids. He has his list alphabetized. “How else would you do it?” He asks. Heehee! He sniffs a predator talking to Astor. He even takes down the guy’s license plate number. When he finally gets home at night, he checks the database, and, yup, there you go, the man’s a sex offender. Dex’ instinct was right. In the end, you know Dex will take care of it, the only way he knows. “Nobody hurts my children.” The Prado case has taught Dexter a thing about the Code of Harry: he can make his own rules and move on away from his foster father’s shadow. I’m not so sure that’s sound reasoning, though... Miguel feels a bond with Dex over the death of Freebo. They become bestest buddies fast, talking about fatherhood, their fathers, the burdens of adult responsibilities and trust. Miguel’s an Assistant District Attorney, how could Dexter ever trust him?

Miami Homicide finds another murder victim with a patch of skin cut off his chest (eww, gross). It’s Javier, Freebo’s pimp. They all assume Freebo hit again. Only Dex and Miguel know it can’t be him, because Freebo’s, well, dead, but they can’t tell. Dex has to give Deb a lead without letting her know that he is. So, he puts up a “missing person” poster with Teegan’s name on it. Deb has a confrontation with Anton, the “Confidential Informant.” He refuses to talk to her, seeing that people end up dead with squares cut off their skin. She has to arrest him when he lights up a joint in defiance. Quinn’s none too happy she locked up “his” C.I. She tells him Anton’s not “his” C.I. But Batista tells her to let Anton go. Later she tries apologizing to him and he tells her he wrote a song for her ‘cause he’s sorry, too. The chorus goes “Puta Flaca Mala” Ahahaha! Deb has no idea, and just dances along, smiling! Teehee! (“Skinny Mean Bitch!”)
