Title (Brazil): "Quem Vai Ficar com Harry?" ("Who Is Going to be With Harry?")

This is the tenth episode of the second season of Dexter and it's a very good episode. This is what I like to call the calm before the storm. This episode is focused on Dexter's past life and what he uncovers which will ultimately lead to a shocking truth. As always, the tension is high, the acting is great, and there are many unexpected twists and turns.

In this episode, "There's Something About Harry," Dexter has Doakes locked up in a cage and Doakes hints about Harry's life. Dexter contemplates on what he will do next. He also decides to reconcile with Rita. Lt. LaGuerta believes that Doakes is innocent and she tries to prove it. Debra realizes that once the case is over, her relationship with Lundy may not last. Finally, Angel continues his fling with Lila, but Lila may have a trick or two up her sleeve.

Overall, this is an excellent episode and it does a great job on setting up the pieces on what promises to be an action-packed end to the season. The ending will just shock you and that I can promise. I rate this episode 9/10.

It is a good show as long as it stays with Dexter. The rest is pretty much filler. The love triangles are already getting old. The supporting cast has some talent, well accept for Deb, but is poorly written. A shame.

I realized something about Doakes though. Besides being an unspecified member of "special ops" and an all-around axxhole to everybody, he has about one facial expression: a fixed glare with slightly pursed lips. Blue Steel, exactly like Zoolander. It is too perfect.

I am going to keep watching but I am setting bar pretty low for upcoming episodes and seasons. Oh well, so much for the low end of the golden age of television.

Peak.. simply peak, its a pivotal episode that dives deep into Dexter's past and his complex relationship with his mentor, Harry. The episode balances suspense with emotional weight, revealing that Harry, far from being a flawless guide, struggled with the consequences of shaping Dexter's dark urges. The tension with Lila adds a palpable sense of danger, while the flashbacks give Dexter's moral code new depth. This episode stands out for its character development and the way it challenges the audience's perception of both Dexter and his father figure, making it one of the more psychologically compelling moments of the season.
