Left Turn Ahead

This is the eleventh episode of the second season of Dexter and it's a great episode, though I was surprised for some time especially how Dexter felt this episode. Based around his ethics, I never thought Dexter would feel the way he did in this episode. But things are wild as the search for the Bay Harbor Butcher continues. There are even a few darkly comedic moments here in scene as Dexter contemplates on telling Debra who he really is.

In this episode, "Left Turn Ahead," Dexter is still unsure what to do especially after what he discovered about Harry. He believes he should turn himself in but he decides to take a day to prepare. Meanwhile, Doakes manages to escape but he gets trapped in people no better than Dexter. In order to get at Dexter, Lila frames Angel for raping her and Debra realizes that she is actually an illegal immigrant.

Overall, this is an excellent episode and based on the ending, there are promises for an excellent finale. These episodes are getting more daunting by the day which is a good thing. Unlike other crime shows, Dexter does new things to reach its goals. I rate this episode 9/10.

Dexter lives a dilemma with Doakes imprisoned in the cabin, and is considering the possibility of turning himself in. Meanwhile Lila frames Angel and accuses him of rape to force Dexter to stay with her. Debra asks Lundy to investigate Lila and they discover that Lila is an illegal immigrant. The FBI Deputy Director Max Adams assumes the manhunt of Doakes and finds a lead that he may be in Everglades. Lila steals the GPS from Dexter's minivan and arrives in the cabin where Doakes is captive.

"Left Turn Ahead" is the penultimate episode of this Second Season and Dexter will be in a serious situation since Lila has found Doakes and now he might have to get rid of them two to keep his secret. My vote is eight.
