It’s already the third season finale on the serial killer show about our dearly devoted Dexter Morgan, blood pattern analyst at the Miami Metro Police Department of Homicide. When we last saw Dex, he killed the only friend he has ever had, assistant DA Miguel Prado, using the technique of another serial killer, nicknamed the “Skinner,” to pin the murder on him. Dex leaves Miguel’s body in a waterside park for an early morning jogger to find. The whole police department is shocked. But Miguel’s middle brother, Ramon, who had already lost his younger brother, Oscar, turns to anger – and vents it on Dexter, suspecting he killed Miguel. When Dex gets home, his condo is trashed, cops swarming all over place. Ramon Prado. At least he didn’t take Dex’ blood slides or killing tools – or Ellen Wolf’s ring! Exciting!
At the office, they learn that “Skinner” George King had once been a captain in the resistance army back in Nicaragua, where he headed the interrogation unit – in other words, he is a trained torturer and killer. Batista lets Deb know he got the budget approval to give her the detective shield. After he learns that she had been sleeping with their key witness Anton, he considers withdrawing his recommendation. In her frustration she blurts out that he shouldn’t be talking, because Batista met his girlfriend Det. Gianna while strolling for hookers. Batista walks to Lt. LaGuerta admitting that’s how he knows Gianna. LaGuerta, dealing with her secret about Miguel, advises him to feel free keeping his skeletons in the closet. He then tells her about Deb and Anton. Despite that, LaGuerta gives Deb her shield, because she is proud that Deb doesn’t sacrifice her personal life for work – and because she is one of the smartest, hardest working, most annoying pains in the ass! With her promotion, Deb rushes to Anton, to tell her they’re so different, he’s exactly what she needs. So sweet!
Dex has a heart to heart with Ramon, when he has been sent to the slammer. He confronts him with his violent behavior. Ramon admits he has been cleaning up after Miguel’s mess his whole life, while Miguel got the credit. It takes Dex by surprise, but once it’s out, it calms Ramon – accepting that it wasn’t Dex who ruined his family. Then, Dex gets kidnapped by the “Skinner,” tied up on a table in an abandoned cigar factory, ready to be flayed. Nice reversal of fortune. In an unguarded moment Dex is able to flip the table, breaking his wrist in the process, and get on his feet. While he’s wrestling with the “Skinner,” police cars come rushing in (following yet another lead Deb and Quinn got). Dex tosses the body in front of a car, making it look like suicide, and quietly slips out unnoticed – getting away with murder yet again.
Meanwhile, Dex accidentally found out Rite has been married before, not just to Paul Bennett, but earlier – at sixteen – to some John Ackerman. Not that Dex minds, it’s just that Rita continues the pretense she’s only married Paul before. She’s lying to him, but he respects her secret – it’s not like he isn’t hiding a few skeletons in his closet. At their wedding rehearsal Ramon busts in and pulls a gun. Fortunately, Deb and Batista are behind him and throw him on the floor. In the end, Deb and Rita get married. They say their vows, and dance, while blood drips from his broken wrist on her beautiful white wedding dress... A very symbolic end of another great season!
