They have a little face-off, with Dex becoming uncharacteristically aggressive he reminds Quinn of the dirt he has on him, and insinuates that if Christine doesn’t stay away, there will be consequences.ĭeb’s late on purpose to a meeting, because apparently too much welcome-back makes her hide at the end of the hall. When she won’t let it go, Dex bluntly tells her to “stay away”, and Quinn walks up just in time to hear it. Christine isn’t going to let a little thing like that stop her, but Dex is persistent he says that, as a favor to him, he’s asking her not to write the story.
As they head back to the station Christine Hill makes a beeline for Deb, but Dex successfully deflects her, introducing himself while Deb disappears into the building. As Deb points out, she never really left, and she’s uncomfortable with all the attention. I have never been that lonely.Īt the Cuban food truck, everyone from the station is welcoming Deb back, even people she doesn’t know. They agree to meet at Arthur’s house at six-thirty the next morning. Dex clearly wants more, so he puts on a sad face and tells Arthur that he’s new in town and doesn’t know anybody, and would like to spend more time together.

Dex can certainly see the benefits of that strategy for today’s busy serial killer. While they load the van together, Dexter asks why Jonah isn’t here to help Arthur says he’s busy, and advises Dexter to encourage his kids’ outside interests, as he does. Arthur greets Kyle with his usual joviality. Dexter’s sitting in his car outside a hardware store for the purpose of “bumping into” him. It doesn’t really matter that Dear Abby is dead, because Dexter knows the only person who can help him balance his unique demands is Arthur Mitchell. But they’re still in therapy.ĭex is sitting in his car, mentally composing a letter to Dear Abby. His thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the neighbors fighting he asks Rita if she thinks things are going better between him and her, and she does. Apparently Christine’s still trying for that “hero piece” on Deb, but Dexter really doesn’t want a reporter around. Christine Hill’s card is on the counter, along with a message for Deb to call her. Everyone stares at him, but it was kind of funny.ĭexter’s return home begets a clamor for his services, because no one can get anything done until Dexter comes home. I mean, shit, are we going to start roasting vultures now? Dex dumps the arm in a plastic bag, and Angel mobilizes the search for more body parts, with Dex putting in a request for the head. This means the gator was snacking on the corpses of murder victims, which is maybe A GOOD REASON NOT TO EAT ALLIGATORS. It also appears that her wrists were bound before she died. Ew! Do people do that? I blame the economy.Īccording to Dex it’s an adult female arm and the bite was post-mortem. Apparently the guy who shot the gator was going to eat it. Is this even in their jurisdiction? Anyway, the scope of Miami Metro homicide has not expanded to include animal cruelty the gator has swallowed a human arm. In the Everglades, Dex finds Angel, Quinn and some uniformed cops outside someone’s backwoods shack, standing around a gutted alligator. Deb has a lot of work to do too, and according to Rita, some of that work is moving into Dexter’s old bachelor pad. Then Dexter’s phone rings it’s the station with another dead body.
Astor and Cody are fishing off the stern, Deb is reading in the captain’s chair, and Dex and Rita are stretched out on the prow with Harrison’s carrier between them.
We open with the whole Morgan family lounging on “Slice of Life”.
I understand that sometimes there are parts of the storyline that you just have to deal with, but I don’t have to enjoy it.
#Dexter slack tide movie#
The episode is like a really long movie trailer they leave a lot of scenes out, but put way too much in, and it just doesn’t satisfy. The surfeit of storylines means that nothing is treated in depth. Readers with short attention spans can stop here.
#Dexter slack tide license#
The writers may think that the title gives them license to sort of meander along and not do much of importance, but if that’s what they were going for, I’m not sure why they would try to pack in so many story lines - Dexter gets to know Trinity, Dexter looks for extracurricular activities for the kids, Dexter stalks and murders an innocent fashion photographer, Deb continues and then drops the CI investigations, Deb convinces LaGuerta to let her look into the bludgeoning, Quinn turns into Doakes Lite, people suspect Angel and LaGuerta are intimate, Angel and LaGuerta miss each other, Trinity is grumpy, Trinity builds a coffin. I’m not sure if too much happens in “Slack Tide,” or not enough.
