Um... in terms of actually dramatic content and overall development of the season's story, I'd say this was a good episode. However, in my opinion, this episode suffered from some poor dialogue writing and at least two instances on wonky editing.

I really don't like to knit-pick, but some of of the dialogue in this episode was not very good. Dexter convinces this woman that Quinn's a celebrity, and she approaches him and says, "So you must be Quinn". Is that how you approach a celebrity? Or what about Deb's meeting with one of Harry's CI's. Would any person ever say the things she said about Harry in front of that person's daughter. What I mean is, she said some pretty disgusting things about them sexually. She knows who Deb and is and that Harry's Deb. Would somebody ever really say that in that situation?

Other instances of poor dialogue include Dexter's scary story to the kids (or maybe that's just poor acting. Would that story really have kids on the literal edge of their seats like that?) and almost anytime the photographer spoke (especially to Deb).

But enough negative, the episode was good. Dexter killed his first innocent man (he did kill Oscar Prado before, but it sort of was in self-defense). How's he going to feel about this? Is he going to feel anything about this? I'm sure he will, although I don't think he necessarily should.

Quinn, do I see sheets of plastic in your future? Watch yourself. I liked you last season, don't ruin that for me alright?

And really Harry? You were a man-ho? I loved Harry to death (no pun intended) in season one, then he became a jerk in season two, and has sort of gotten progressively more jerkish as the series has continued. It's such a shame too because James Remar is such a fantastic actor.

And lastly, I'm still not convinced Trinity shot Deb and Lundy.
