Dexter 3x08

Our darkly dreaming Dexter is wondering if he is ready to share the Code of Harry with his new bestest buddy, Miami State Prosecutor, Miguel Prado. I keep thinking there’s something fishy about this guy – an Assistant District Attorney too eager to take justice in his own hands. He suggests another victim, some athlete who pays off his gambling debts by eliminating people, and Miguel wants to do the killing himself this time. He is overly excited seeing how fast things move in Dexter’s world, without bureaucratic rules and regulations, without legal procedures and paperwork. When Dex asks Miguel how he feels after killing the man, he just whimpers, “fantastic,” like he just had the best sex in his life. At home, Dex has to deal with Rita’s hormones that are making her all edgy. She wants his list of wedding guests, they have to find wedding rings, decide on music, venue, the lot.

Deb finds out that Det. Quinn cut another corner by never formally putting Anton on the payroll for being a Confidential Informant. After she tells Anton he’s free, she doesn’t hear from him again. At first she frets that he’s no longer interested in her – that he just slept with her because it was in his best interest. But he doesn’t show up at his gig in the club either. And then Deb notices that the palm tree in front of his condo has recently been trimmed... The “Skinner” caught the bait and got to him. At the office they immediately start questioning tree trimmers. One of them, George King, who was there at the scene of Javier’s death, offers them a lot of information, especially about one of his employees, Mario. The moment he sees Deb and Quinn approaching, this Mario guy runs away. Once in custody, he freaks out when they mention George King’s name. Meanwhile, Deb also learns that Quinn wasn’t directly responsible for the death of another police officer, just as she can’t be blamed for the victims of the “Skinner” (including Anton, but still she feels guilty).
