Dexter begins to have second thoughts about Lila's suitability as an NA sponsor and Rita encourages him to find someone else, preferably male. While the investigation into the Bay Harbor Butcher continues, Dexter hears that his forensic colleague Vince may have come up with a way to identify where the killer moored his boat. Dexter's attempt to destroy the evidence doesn't quite go as planned. Debra finally hooks up with the man she has been ogling at her gym. Dexter meets Rita's mom who is in town visiting.
She tells Rita that there is no doubt in her mind that Dexter is hiding something. The Bay Harbour Butcher investigation is now into its third week, and agent Lundy's task force is making gradual progress, much to Dexter's dismay. Debra makes even more progress re-adjusting to a normal life and Rita is jealous of Dexter's new female friend from his addiction group. The story lines feels a bit slow and never really catch my attention in the same way as they usually do. The general pace of the episode is a bit slow for my taste, there is very little happening in the first half of the show, and it kind of drags along. There are a couple of mildly entertaining subplots, including Doakes hunting down a very competent killer and Pascal's continuing jealousy becoming a big problem at work, but unfortunately the real thrills are absent this time. I'm sure future episodes of series 2 will be more interesting, because this is a filler, no doubt about that.
