EPISODE 6: "Return to Sender"

Episode 6: Return to Sender

Episode summary:Dexter struggles to keep in control when the still-unseen Ice Truck Killer leaves the dead body of Valerie Castillo, Dexter's most recent kill, at the auto yard, which puts Dexter in dangerous proximity to being discovered by his colleagues, which is worsened when a young Cuban boy is also found at the scene claiming to have seen who killed Mrs. Castillo. Dexter must stay one step ahead of his own friends by tampering with Vince Masuka, the medical coroner's, e-mails, then tries derailing Debra's suspicions to a copycat killing, and always half-expecting to be arrested. Lt. Laguerta tries to be compassionate to the little Cuban boy whom she tries to asks for a sketch of the man he saw. Meanwhile, Rita gets an unpleasant phone call from her abusive ex-husband, Paul, who has just gotten paroled from prison and wants to visit Rita on her daughter Astor's birthday. Dexter also recalls a row he had with his stepfather over including Debra in their hunting trips. Also, Doakes asks Debra to accompany him to dinner at his mother's house just to distract his overbearing mother and older sisters from meddling in his personal life.

EPISODE TRIVIA
  • "Return to Sender" Is the name of an Elvis song.

  • Dexter's fake DEA license to obtain the M-99 Ethorpine Hydrochloride animal tranquilizer is registered to: Bateman, Patrick M.D. 2203 Blanchard Ave, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 State License #: F334156 CDS#: E-669-BL-66 DEA#: AB664955-6613-1106 Patrick Bateman is the main character in American Psycho - and as Dexter, also a serial killer.

  • As Rita is pinning up a banner for Astor's birthday, one can see that the word "birthday" is misspelled

  • Although they are only one day apart from each other, Sergeant Doakes' stitches were on his head on the previous episode whilst are totally gone without even a scar left on this one.

  • On the previous episode, we can clearly see on the screen of Dexter's radar the deepness of the place he dumped Valerie Castillo's body was of 300 feet. Nevertheless, at the beginning of this episode when listing all the trouble the Ice Truck Killer had to bring the body back Dexter says he had to dive 100 feet to do it.

  • Dex kicks a hub cap in the salvage yard. Later in the episode, the hub cap is back on its original place.
