EPISODE 3.10: "Go Your Own Way"

Go Your Own Way

Episode summary:
Dexter feels like he’s making a deal with the devil when he feigns civility around Miguel after his duplicitous ways. Dexter finds himself in a series of chess-like moves against his former friend, all while hoping that Miguel doesn’t get the upper hand on him. Meanwhile, Dexter watches helplessly as Miguel draws Rita closer through a wonderful wedding gift. Debra, now back with Anton after his close call with the Skinner, wonders if her relationship with Anton is worth putting her career in jeopardy. After all, is it smart for everyone to know that she is dating a former confidential informant?

DEVELOPMENTS WITH RITA
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS
  • Dexter and Rita argue over whether or not they should accept the wedding gift from Miguel and Syl.



  • Dexter tries subtly to warn Angel about not trying to deal with the Gianna's assailant on his own, and instead let the law deal with it. Angel ultimately listens.
  • Unbeknownst to Dexter, Masuka is planning a huge bachelor party for him.
  • Dexter and Miguel play a metaphorical chess game, each trying to get the one up on each other so the other doesn't do anything that will ruin their own lives. Dexter eventually gets the ultimate upper hand by obtaining Ellen Wolf's ring from Miguel's apartment, but Miguel sics the skinner on Dexter.


SIGNIFICANCE OF EPISODE TITLE

When Dexter confronts Miguel in his office about knowing that Miguel killed Ellen Wolf, Dexter tells Miguel that after his wedding the two of them should not be friends and that Miguel should, "Go [his] own way". Go Your Own Way is also the name of a popular song by Fleetwood Mac.

You know, for this particular episode, I don't have much to say. The ending was crazy and leaves everyone wanting more of course, but the rest of the episode didn't really do it for me. I recall looking at my clock and seeing it had been 42 minutes since the show started, and all that had happened really was Syl catching Miguel with La Guerta. I'm mega pumped for the next two episodes, just this episode seemed like a lot of filler up until the last five minutes.

It looks like Masuka is going to have something going on with the Bachelor Party lady. It's about time. His character could use some real development, and having a steady relationship is a good way to do that.

Did anybody else see Jeff Lindsay, the author of the Dexter novels (and therefore Dexter's REAL father) in this episode? He was the vice cop outside Gianna's hospital room. It was a bit part, but it was good to see him there. Its comforting to know he still approves of the show even after they've taken it in such a drastically different direction than the novels.

One more thing, PLEASE PEOPLE NO SPOILERS. In the discussion in this thread you can put details for this particular episode, but please don't spoil anything for the next two episodes for anybody. I'm seeing people are slowly starting to leak spoilers on this wiki regarding episodes 11 and 12. I don't want to know them. A lot of people may not want to know them. If you know a spoiler, please be respectful and put them elsewhere so people who don't want to know them won't read them. And make sure to label your threads appropriately if there are spoilers in them too! I've put too much time into watching this season for somebody with a loose tongue to ruin it all.

Gotta hand it to Jimmy Smit's character. I had reservations about Miguel being able to stay in the mix with Dex, but the writers and Smits have made his character durable till the end, and I still think he will meet a bad end, but again, this is Dex, so anything could happen. With two episodes left, I think most of us have a good idea where the end is headed, but will be interesting to see who shows up for next season. Great seson as always. Just my two cents.
