If this entire season was looked at as one long play, then tonight's episode would mark the end of the first act. We're a third of the way through the season and to me, it's all looking good. I think we're definitely clear for a strong season now.

The first thing I think of when I consider this episode is that it seems that Matsuka is going to have a more dramatic role this season. We saw him come to the realization that nobody likes him as more than the office "funny guy" and even then he can become annoying. I'd like to see this pan out.

I was a bit put off by Dexter's hasty decision to propose to Rita. He just decided it in a matter of seconds, without even considering what a huge responsibility that is on top of having a baby (plus when is a married guy ever going to get enough time by himself so he can go kill somebody?). Obviously this was the next step in the progression of their relationship so its not that bad that it was rushed, but I just couldn't help but as though it was out of character a little.

Deb continued to push the envelope on just how unprofessional she can be. I sincerely like Deb. I love her character, last season she was one of my favorites for sure (she was the only one who stood up to Lila and believed in Dexter), but this season I sometimes wonder if I'm suppose to feel sorry for her. She seems to screw up on every case she's on (how did she advance so far?), and always realizes way after the audience does that she is going to "hook-up" with somebody she shouldn't.

The Angel ordeal sort of came out of nowhere and went nowhere for me, and it seems La Guerta's motives are never as straight-forward as she says they are. Next week's episode looks intense by the look of the previews; and I thought Dexter was faking those emotions at the very end, but since he didn't explicitly say so, I'm starting top wonder.
