Dexter 3x11

Dexter decided it was time to get rid of Miguel. Then we learn that Miguel sent the “Skinner” to him – promising that only Dexter knows where Freebo is. As he’s getting out of his car at night, someone throws a sack over his head and tosses him in the trunk! Dex is telling himself this isn’t how it’s gonna end. He’s able to untie himself. When the trunk opens he punches the guy it the face. It’s Vince Masuka, the pervy forensics expert! He and the guys kidnapped Dex for his bachelor’s party! Ahahahah! Terrific!!! And the party is pervy, too! Topless dancers and all. Miguel is there as Dex’ supposed Best Man, giving a speech about friendship, trust and forgiveness. Big party or not, next morning everyone needs to get back to the Ellen Wolf case as well as the “Skinner” investigation. Lt. LaGuerta is staring right at the only lead she has for finding Ellen’s killer: a dark SUV with big headlights, the same Miguel is driving. She just can’t believe it. He’s her friend. It’s so cute to see Sgt. Batista with this new, gorgeous girlfriend, Det. Gianna!

Deb and Dex have a conversation about their father, and Dex accidentally lets slip Harry had an affair with one of his informants (he just manages not to mention it was his own mother). Deb can’t believe it: her father slept with a “snitch,” just like she has with Anton. She’s very emotional about it, and right then she has to go over Anton’s statement – another emotional situation. But it doesn’t seem to give her any more information. So Deb and Quinn return to the crime scene hoping to find another clue. They don’t have cell phone reception at the place, Deb asks Quinn for change to use a payphone, and then she remembers Anton told her the “Skinner” took his phone and small change. Putting two and two together, she realizes George King must have been using the payphone. Another lead! They check the phone record, from which they learn the guy had been talking to a lady in New Jersey, whose Miami garden he’s landscaping. So, he knows it’s empty – a great hideaway from the police. When they get there and find the guy, he flies out before they can catch him. Later, Deb and Dex talk some more about their father – and Dex has a moment of clarity, Deb should be his Best Man. He trusts her more than anyone.

LaGuerta invites Miguel home to talk, she says. But in an unguarded moments, she walks out and takes a sample from Miguel’s trunk – so that Dex can later test it for hair or other DNA evidence. Of course it checks out. When LaGuerta explains what it means (which he already knew, of course, but she didn’t know that), Dex tells her to give it time, build a solid case against Miguel. He’ll keep the secret. Meanwhile, though, Miguel is starting to suspect LaGuerta. He noticed his trunk was still open after he left her house, and he saw that she had accessed the system for Ellen’s DNA. In his own sneaky way, Dex anticipates that Miguel is now going to try to get rid of LaGuerta – and is able to get to Miguel before he gets to her. And so it’s time for Dexter’s usual ritual. “You’re a little freak! You think I’m done with you? You think this ends here? It doesn’t!” are Miguel’s last words before he dies.
