Given that his sociopath mind cant present these personalities for real, hes permanently faking something 24/7.
Its not like hes not trying, but its a skill thats beyond him.
Hes in a equal quandary about Miguel, whose brother Ramon is becoming a problem.
But troubles are multiplying.
Rita loses her job as a hotel receptionist, and Ramon is drinking heavily.
Dexter needs to focus, or hell drop one of these airborne balls.
The Internal Affairs lady keeps needling Debra to spy on Joey whats special about this guy?
He goes to see a hooker, who turns out to be a vice officer…eeek!
Luckily she realises and throws him out of the motel room before the sting goes down.
I suspect well see more of her later in the series.
But back to the problematic Ramon.
Ramon goes off on one like a pre-programmed wind-up toy.
But Dexter finds fascination in her acting, and the projection of her delusions into a greater emotional vista.
Something he can use possibly with Rita and her children.
But Dexters plan is entirely different and ends with Ramon being arrested.
This leads to an early morning beach scene where Miguel tells Dexter hes now the only person he trusts.
Given the inspiration of the murderess, Dexter proposes to Rita in a believable way.
