Dexter 3x06

This male bonding between Dex and Miguel is getting eerie. Dex confesses it felt right, just, to kill that wife killer, and Miguel responds, “You came through for me” ... Miguel is a state prosecutor with all the legal forces of Miami at his finger tips, but he admires Dex’ simple way of getting rid of trouble, vigilante style. Dex feels he needs to put this friendship, this trust and understanding to the test, to see if Miguel really accepts Dex as a serial killer. He comes up with a seriously dangerous situation, to murder a white supremacist who’s in a maximum security prison for bludgeoning several people to death even while in jail! But Miguel won’t back down. Dex now needs to figure out an even more complicated plan to convince Miguel to bail out. Instead, Miguel has already plotted his own strategy! It’s convoluted and causes Dex great anxiety if Miguel will really come through for him. In the end, though, it all goes as planned – except that Dex refuses to share his ritual with Miguel. Has he really found a buddy who accepts him for what he is, admires him for it, and will provide him with victims and assistance to bring criminals to their own brand of justice?

The “Skinner” killer struck again, taking out Wendell, the kid from the previous episode, and the cut off skin patch is even larger than before. It seems this sick serial killer is following the movements of the Miami Department of Homicide very closely. Deb even feels guilty that she may be in part responsible for the deaths of Javier and Wendell. When talking with Dex, they get a hunch that perhaps Ramon Prado is the “Skinner.” She asks Sgt. Batista about it, and he tells her to follow up on it, off the grid. Det. Quinn was listening in on the conversation, and Batista asks him to keep an eye on Deb. She tails Ramon for several days, until she sees him beating some guy, throwing him in the trunk of his car, he interrogates him about Freebo, rather violently I should say, but then lets him go when the guy has nothing to say. Quinn had been trailing Deb, so he’s there as another witness. They have to book Ramon for kidnapping, illegal interrogation and torture. We also learn that hawt Yuki from Internal Affairs is merely waging a personal vendetta against Quinn. This season is seriously getting under my skin!
