    Night Time

    Rita confirms that she is pregnant and forces Dexter to analyze the pros and cons of having the baby. Dexter is also under an additional pressure, since he needs to find Freebo before Debbie or the Miami Metro detectives do once the drug dealer saw his face. When the police find a Jane Doe strangled on a dumper, Dexter recognizes her as being Freebo's girlfriend Teegan, but he omits the information about the ho to his colleagues. Meanwhile the Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado invites Dexter and Rita to have dinner with his wife Sylvia and him at his home since he wants to get inside information about the investigation. Further, Miguel's brother Ramon gets the cell phone of Freebo's mother to track any phone call from the trafficker. When Dexter visits Teegan's house, he finds that the place is the hideout of Freebo and he schedules a visit to the dealer during the night. Before leaving his home, Rita visits Dexter and tells that she will keep the baby. Dexter has a great surprise at Teegan's place.

    In this second episode of the Third Season, Dexter lives a dilemma questioning how a man that brings death could bring life to the world, and the future of his son. Rita follows her instincts of mother and decides to keep the baby. Debra proves once again that she is a great detective. And let's see how the bond of Miguel Prado with Dexter will affect his "night time" work. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Procurando Freeebo" ("Looking for Freebo")

    Saved by Rita and Miguel

    Why's the main character in a show called Dexter becoming so boring, I really do not get how his main social issue in this season is being intertwined with his murders or the main arc. This episode is saved by Rita who is nice as always and Miguel whose actually a far more interesting character than Dexter so far.

    Is Dexter's Luck Running Out?

    This is the second episode of the third season of Dexter and it slightly improves over the season opener as we get more involved in the story. If Dexter's life was good in the first episode, I would call in stressful in this episode. Dexter's luck is seeming to be running out as evidenced in this episode. Once again, Jimmy Smits is back as the ADA and he is doing a good job playing the man who wants to bring his son's killer to justice.

    In this episode, "Finding Freebo," Dexter wants to locate Freebo before the police or the District Attorney does. Debra is relying on street informants to his whereabouts. Dexter finally hunts down Freebo, but once again something goes wrong. Meanwhile, Rita is confirmed that she is pregnant and now they must decide on what to do.

    Overall, this is a promising episode and I think it's nice to see how Dexter tries to overcome his trouble. The final scene is excellent and I wonder what will happen further down the road. I rate this episode 9/10.

    • Trivia
      This is the first time Harry Morgan appears talking to Dexter at Dexter's current age. Harry is no longer just in flashbacks. Dexter starts to have conversations with him in his mind.
    • Goofs
      When Dexter finds Freebo's bayonet, he incorrectly identifies it as an M6 bayonet. It's actually an M7 bayonet, as shown by the larger muzzle ring and the rounder grip.

      Vince Masuka: Step away from the incense. This is America, buddy. Freedom of religion.

      Dexter Morgan: I didn't realize you were a buddhist, Vince. Japanese are traditionally shinto.

      Vince Masuka: Really? Oh, whatever. I bought all this shit off my manicurist. Need all the luck I can get. Got a crucifix up there too.

      Dexter Morgan: Because it did so much for Jesus?
