Dexter 4:6
Posted by dorolerium on Sunday, November 8th, 2009
Dexter continues to investigate Trinity’s private life, to try and learn how Trinity, aka Arthur Mitchell, is able to exist in society despite his own dark passenger. We also learn, just as I had suspected, that Arthur has a personal tie to these particular kinds of murders – his sister was found dead in the bathtub when he was young, his mother killed herself by jumping off a building, and his father was murdered in an alley with a wound to the head.
Deb also wants to be an eye witness to get Nicky convicted for murdering Lundy and shooting her. Normally I find Quinn to be kind of icky, but I actually liked him caring for Deb in this episode, trying to talk her out of making a mistake. Deb eventually decides she won’t be a witness, because she confronts Nicky herself and believes her. And I am wondering why there are no security guards in the holding section to prevent the prisoners from getting roughed up?
The biggest factor in Deb believing Nicky is that she finds out that all of Lundy’s Trinity research is gone, none of it was logged into evidence, and she assumes it’s that Trinity stole it. We, of course, know that it was Dexter, but now Deb is back on the Trinity hunt.
Dexter discovers some smudge on the wall, which turns out to be more ashes from Trinity’s collection. He intends to hide it, but Masuka catches him and finds that Trinity is actually related to the ashes – and also manages to get Arthur’s DNA from where he licked his thumb to put the ashes on the wall.
Meanwhile, Batista and La Guerta seem to decide that they like their jobs more than they like each other. I guess I’ve never been in this kind of situation, so I can’t say what I would ultimately do, but I think if I really cared for someone, and definitely had a job in another department, I would probably continue to go out with them and accept a transfer. Maybe I’m crazy.
Dexter and Rita also have a breakthrough in their couples therapy – it’s revealed to the therapist that Dexter’s bio mom was murdered in front of him, and that leads to a confession that he feels Rita would abandon him if she knew the real him. Which she really would, but she takes it more as a metaphorical kind of thing and it works out. In fact, Dexter says he really needs a place of his own to keep his stuff, so they build a shed in the backyard.
The previews for the next episode look pretty interesting, with shades of Sergeant Doakes!
