This episode had me on edge the entire time. I was more or less holding my breath because it seemed like everything was going to come crashing down around Dexter. One small slip and it would all be over. So, Lila gets invited to dinner at Rita's house and lets slip about Dexter's mother. Uh oh. But nothing came of it. It was only later when she called his place and left a message about the road trip and the hotel room where it came to a head because Rita and Dex were listening as the call was being made. Sure enough, she didn't take it well and dumped him.

Also, Doakes was made aware that Dex doesn't have a drug problem, which put Dex back on his radar to find out what he is hiding and when they had the stand off in his office, I was sure one of them would throw down. It's heating up again. And my favorite relationship on the show between Deb and Lundy just got more interesting. We were led to believe that Deb's fascination with Lundy was more paternal, but in fact she has a serious crush on him. When she hugged him it was both awkward and kick ass because now it just got....weird.

Great episode and the best so far this season.
