Well, Dexter blamed his act of vandalism on stress, and Rita bought it. She’s taking the kids for a couple of days to attend a wedding, leaving Dex free – to stalk his next victim: officer Zoey Kruger, who got away with murdering her husband and daughter by planting evidence to blame some drug dealer. He gets her file to scrutinize the crime scene and learns that the dealer was later killed in a supposed gang incident. Dex notices that Zoey is having an open house and visits to investigate the site. She flirts with him blatantly, while he is hoping to find some stray evidence to implicate her, especially the protective gloves he’s sure she wore. He finds nothing in the fireplace, but then sees the garbage disposal in the sink. Pretending it’s broken he offers to fix it, and does find a bit of glove while rummaging through its contents. At his lab, he finds gunshot residue and blood on the glove, enough to prove she is guilty. Zoey, being a police officer herself, has discovered who Dexter is and that he has recently checked her file. She warns him to lay off. Playing on her desire for control, Dexter requests the files on the drug dealer who allegedly killed her family, knowing it will tick her off. Zoey tails Dex and when she gets a chance threatens to kill him and then bluffs that he should tell his superiors what he thinks. That night, Zoey breaks into Dexter’s house, but he’s lying in wait for her, and after a brief struggle he subdues her. He performs his morbid ritual in her daughter’s room. They reflect on their similarities, feeling trapped in their family life, but Dex discovers he never wants to lose them.
Meanwhile, Quinn has definitely run into trouble with his pillow talk, because cute Christine has published an article about retired FBI Agent Lundy returning to Miami on a serial killer case. He confronts her about it and ditches her, telling her she never had him anyway and to go look for another source. Worse, the “Trinity Killer” reads the article, too, when researching his next location in the library. For their part, Deb and Lundy are hoping to find a clue to catch the “Trinity Killer” before he strikes again. In every previous case, he killed a young woman in a bathtub, then forced a married woman to jump off a building, and ended with bludgeoning a married man. Deb and Lundy are running through all bludgeoning incidents from thirty years ago within the right timeframe. At night, the “Trinity Killer” is provoking a fight with a drunk in an alley behind a bar, calling him names and getting a few punches and kicks. Deb and Lundy have traced the location where they believe the serial killer will strike again, but their conversation steers towards their feelings for each other. She gets upset and dashes off. When Lundy is investigating the location where they think the “Trinity Killer” will bludgeon his third victim of this cycle, the serial killer just walks out the building and recognizes Lundy. He deliberately bumps into Lundy, who senses something in the encounter.
In a way, I am glad Rita was away this episode, because I am starting to find her a tad unsympathetic – which only goes to show that I am now siding with a lying and cheating serial killer. My initial scruples about watching this show have gone entirely! At the office, Maria wants to make her relationship with Angel official, as policy requires, but he is reluctant to define what they have, wanting to keep it private. Angel confides to Dex about his relationship with Maria, and asks for advice. Dex commiserates that making it official will define what they have. “Next thing you know, you’re moving in, your life is gone, it’s just kids and neighbors, painted mugs,” he offers. Later, Maria also asks Dexter for advice about her fling with Angel. He tells her not to let anything to chance – meaning she will follow protocol and make the relationship official. Deb finds that her relationship with Anton gets even more strained, as he notices how her voice goes up a notch and how she twists her hair when she is talking to Lundy. She tells him he has nothing to be jealous of, but it’s clear she’s rather trying to convince herself. It doesn’t take long before Deb knocks on Lundy’s hotel room door and kisses him when he opens. After their tryst, talking about Deb’s guilty feelings for cheating on Anton, gun shots are fired, flooring them both! “Stay with me,” Deb mouths to Lundy’s lifeless body. Will they survive? Wow, what a terrific show!
