Dexter 3x10

After murdering Ellen Wolf in cold blood, Miguel Prado is consoling Lt. LaGuerta for losing her friend. Wow, the gumption of this man! Dexter understands that he needs to get Miguel under his thumb – not necessarily to get him caught, but to avoid more innocent victims. LaGuerta offers a suspect for Ellen’s death, some bartender who had been trying to call Ellen at the night she was murdered. So Dex uses the insinuation that they are honing in on Miguel. But Miguel won’t give up so easily. The suspect’s alibi checks out, but he did see someone around Ellen’s house that night, in a dark SUV with big headlights. After consoling LaGuerta some more at her house, drinking wine, reminiscing about their past relationship, they end up kissing. There’s a knock on the door – it’s Dex! Not much later, as Miguel is walking out, Syl shows up, they argue, she walks away. Miguel follows his wife in his car, a black SUV with big headlights. LaGuerta looks puzzled.

When Sgt. Batista’s new girlfriend, Det. Gianna, ends up in the hospital, he wants to mete out vengeance on the guy who beat her up, but Dex convinces him to let justice runs its course. Deb is getting into trouble for having an affair with Anton, their key witness in the “Skinner” case. She doesn’t try to hide it from anyone, and she is obviously distressed, but feels she needs to back off, which enrages him, because he nearly lost his life acting as bait for her. Moreover, Deb’s affair with a witness gives Miguel leverage over Dex. To get the upper hand and heat up the fight, Dex steals Ellen’s ring from Miguel’s room, and returns the Miguel’s shirt with the cow’s blood. In retaliation, Miguel tells George King, the “Skinner,” that only Dexter knows where to find Freebo! Man, how can I resist watching the next episode?
