I liked the ep, it's good to see Dex back in action, but I'm having a problem with the Prado relationship. You can tell where (for the most part) the writers want to go with this, but Dexter is being carried along into obvious troubled waters without much of a struggle. I'd think his inner dialog would focus on just where he's going, being careful with Prado and foreseeable pitfalls. Where's his "trouble bump". What did he learn from Lila? It's dangerous to let anyone close. She was believable. She was exotic, hot and he was thinking with his d**k. Prado's a guy and the red flags he's been waving are largely ignored.

Am I being overly critical? It just seems the plotline motivations are much weaker than in the previous 2 seasons.

Ron -- I think Dexter's problem with Prado doesn't stem from a too trusting nature. The real relationship was established after Prado surprised Dexter following Dexter's having killed Freebo. That left Dexter a stark choice, either kill Prado, too, or involve him. Fortunately for Prado, Dexter decided to play along, at least for awhile. Ever since, Prado has been trying, mostly successfully, to insinuate himself even further into Dexter's life. It's no wonder that Dexter is still trying to figure out how to handle Prado. As somebody else has already noted, Prado's wife was also creating a problem by flogging the idea of Dexter and Rita buying a house right away. It seems that problem may be going away, though, because Rita appears to have backed off of the idea. Unfortunately for Dexter, his problem with Prado is still front and center. Anyway, I continue to love the show and think that this season has been as good as the first two were.

Lol, I think Dex will be gentle, maybe just pull the plug or increase her dosage. It will happen though.

There obviously is a lot more skeletons in Prado's closet (Chicky Hines, etc.) that we have not seen yet.

Unfotunately for Prado he is unaware of what Dex really is.

So who is the real skinner: Deb's partner, the CI or none of the above?
