Yes! Now this is what this show is all about!
After the scare with Lila at Rita"s house, Dexter unintentionally spends the night outside, dreaming about his anxiety about getting caught. He wakes up and has a heart-to-heart with Rita, telling her he knows he fucked up. She thanks him, and tells him it means a lot. On his way home, he notices Feds in a car, watching him. Creepy.
LaGuerta is pissed at Doakes for blowing off the meeting with her security friend, and tells him so on a voicemail. Doakes isn"t answering his phone, however, because he"s too busy meeting with an old Haitian friend (read: a "fixer" from his days in Black Ops), hoping to export Dexter"s blood-slides for DNA matches. More on this in a sec.
There"s a big break in the BHB case, yet again, but Lundy won"t tell Deb what it is (even though they"re totally boning and she"s practically living with him). We"re led to believe Dex is their main man, until they ominously drag him in from his apartment to reveal that Doakes is actually the prime suspect, seeing as they seized some blood-slides from his car at the airport (!), which they need Dexter to analyze.
This whole time, Dexter is really distracted by the fact that he hasn"t disposed of Jimenez"s body yet. Unfortunately, Lundy has saddled him with a four-person security detail in the event that Doakes shows up again, so he has to sneak out of his apartment in order to get back to the Everglades to finish up. Hoping to get done before daybreak, Dexter does so hurriedly, and as he"s loading up the last of the body bags, he hears, "That"s right, muthafucka!" Doakes trains his gun on Dex, and a struggle eventually ensues, ending with Dex shot in the leg and Doakes passed out in Jimenez"s coke locker. What to do, Dex? Can"t kill him, because he"s innocent, but isn"t the first rule to not get caught? I thought for sure Dexter would be able to send Doakes up shit"s creek on this one, but now things are looking a little murkier.
Also, Lila is still getting in Dexter"s face and trying to convince him that he needs her. Angel"s really hoping to grab himself a piece, and is totally okay with catching Dexter"s runoff. This isn"t good. I foresee another stabbing in Angel"s future. Or maybe a burning? Either way, shit ain"t cool. I hate Lila"s stupid face.
