Dexter 3x04

I have the feeling there’s something more about this Miguel Prado guy. He’s spending an awful lot of time befriending Dexter. I understand they bond, because Miguel had wanted to kill this Freebo kid to avenge the death of his younger brother Oscar. Still, something isn’t right – especially when we learn that as a state prosecutor, Miguel let someone go to jail for whose innocence there was reasonable evidence... Is Miguel trying to hide something about himself, about his drug-abusing younger brother Oscar, or his rum-gulping middle brother Ramon? Then there’s the “Skinner,” the killer who so far murdered two people related to Freebo, his girlfriend Teegan, and his pimp Javier... Strange coincidence... Dex doesn’t trust Ramon and wants to show Miguel he’s a loose cannon; so he shakes him, talks to him about Miguel, makes “anonymous” calls to him claiming he saw Freebo; and soon Ramon throws scene after scene, and Miguel comes to see he cannot trust his brother anymore.

Maria LaGuerta also talks to Miguel about the witness who provides a solid alibi for the person he sent to jail. He won’t listen to her and changes the conversation to Sgt. Doakes. At the office they’re dealing with a woman who claimed her fiancé was murdered by a burglar. She’s covered in blood and keeps talking about what a great guy he was, but evades questions about the burglar. When Deb walks into Dex’ splatter lab, they realize the woman must have killed her fiancé herself. Deb confronts her, but her colleague Quinn tells Deb to leave it, and takes over the interrogation. When hawt Yuki approaches Deb again about Quinn, Deb starts to realize there’s something fishy about this guy. At home, Dex proposes to Rita in front of the kids, using the same words the crazy woman at the office used, how they’re connected and how she makes him real. He learned another trick at faking emotions. Still, it made me cry. It gives the show psychological depth.
