EPISODE 10: "Seeing Red"

Episode 10: Seeing Red

Episode summary: After a long absence, the Ice Truck Killer creates a crime scene just for Dexter, which results in a flood of unwanted and disturbing memories. Deb's relationships with the most important men in her life become strained with Dexter's refusal to confide in her and Rudy's attempt to insinuate himself in her brother's life. Angel follows a blind lead in the ITK case directly to Rudy; LaGuerta gambles with her career when she goes against Capt. Matthews. Paul files assault charges against Rita and uses the system against her; after a deposition hearing, there is a real chance she could lose the kids ... unless Dexter intervenes.
