| EPISODE 3.1: "Our Father"
 | Episode summary: | For Dexter, life seems to be going well. His relationship with Rita and her kids is back on track. He’s no longer under scrutiny at his day job as a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide. And his night job as a serial killer is operating on all cylinders. So when he sets his sights on Freebo, a dope dealer and killer, it looks to be just another night of Dexter’s dark justice. But things don’t go as planned and Dexter must find a way to extract himself from a pair of problems that he created, both in his home and night life. Dexter also finds himself inexorably drawn to Miguel Prado, an Assistant District Attorney, who has a very personal reason to bring Freebo to justice. Meanwhile, Debra is put in a difficult situation when someone from Internal Affairs wants her to inform on her new partner, Quinn. | | Original air date: | On Showtime website: 9/16/08

Victim(s):Oscar Prado
Assigned officer(s):Lt. La Guerta, Det. Sgt. Battista, and Det. Morgan (later removed from the case)
Crime scene: The living room is in obvious disarray. Scuff marks on the linoleum and a crumpled throw rug suggest a valiant struggle took place. A large blood stain marks the area where the victim was found. There was also Dexter's temporary crown that he lost during the struggle. No one else saw it because Dexter promptly collected it off the floor upon arriving to the crime scene.
Suspect(s):Fred Bowman aka "Freebo"
Clue(s):
Blood evidence suggests...A single, fatal stab wound to the chest after a "heroic" struggle ended between the victim and assailant. The killer was either lucky, or had superior knife handling skills (the aorta had been cleanly severed in one motion.)
