EPISODE 8: "Morning Comes"

Dexter Episode 8 - "Morning Comes"
Episode summary: Lundy confronts Dexter about "sloppy blood work" he had done which led to a murderer being free to walk the streets. The murderer was one of Dexter's victims. Dexter discovers Lila's dark side. Debra and Batista discover evidence that the bay harbor butcher is one of the Miami police dept. officers ("One of our own")

With both Lila and Debra staying at his apartment Morgan finds himself living with, in his own words, a cobra and a mongoose. After Dexter uses his key to enter her house, Rita tells Dexter that he's no longer welcome to just drop in, even if it's just to see the kids. Having decided that the Bay City Butcher has a background in law enforcement, Special Agent Lundy informs the local officers that all of their old cases will be re-examined by the Feds, but gives Deb the Rodrigo file to examine, explaining that since she wasn't in homocide at the time, it's okay. Deb is pleased by his confidence in her, and accepts Lundy's invitation to dinner the next evening. Dexter is on the defensive and Lundy almost catches him out over one of his cases, that of Rodrigo ("sloppy blood work"). As Dexter helps Lila clean up her loft after the fire, he realizes that something is wrong with her story as to how the fire started. He also comes to realize how dangerous her obsessive behavior can be. Deb and Lundy finally have dinner together, and their friendly bantering turns into something more romantic. After Lila finagles her way into a bowling night out with the guys, Dexter has a close call when his mother's killer decides to pay him a visit in the parking lot. Dexter decides to do what he should have done the first time they met. Sgt. Doakes, suspended for assaulting Dexter, breaks into his apartment looking for evidence and finds a surprise after removing the AC cover.
