Dexter: Morning Comes

After there is a fire at Lila's house, Dexter finds that she has become more attached to him than he's comfortable with. Meanwhile, when "recovery" doesn't work for the man who killed his mother, Dexter pays the man a visit. At the station, Deb and Lundy find a clue that makes them suspicious that the Bay Harbor Butcher might be closer to them than they think.

Episode Quotes

Dexter: (voiceover) Lila almost had me believing it was possible to change, to become something else. As if that ever really happens. I've always known what I am. (pulls on gloves to kill) If the glove fits...

Dexter: (voiceover) It's one think to fuck with me, another to fuck with my ex-girlfriend who hates me. The Lila experiment is officially over.

Debra: You are not allowed to talk about anyone I date as long as you're seeing Little Miss Pardon My Tits. I'm sorry, Dex, but she is gross. And pale, and nobody is pale in Miami. She is obviously a vampire. A gross. English. Titty. Vampire.
Dexter: You just described the perfect woman.

Dexter: (voiceover) A secret cabin in the middle of the Everglades? What more could a rededicated serial killer ask for?

Masuka: How come you got a hug and I get a pat on the nose?
Angel: 'Cause you're like a retarded puppy.

Dexter: You, you are more dangerous than my addiction will ever be. That's saying a lot. Stay away from Rita. Stay away from me.
Lila: Or what?
Dexter: Or you will see the monster.

Deb: The Bay Harbor Butcher is one of our own.
Lundy: We keep this to ourselves for now. Just the three of us.
Angel: Well I'm gonna go tell it to a bottle of scotch.

Dexter: (voiceover) I'd almost forgotten this feeling, driving toward a kill, all my senses sharpened. It's like I've been living underwater, holding my breath, and now I can finally breathe. So how come it's so suffocating in here?

Lenny Asher: Who's dead?
Angel: Anthony Rodrigo.
Lenny Asher: I know. They found him in the ocean. I hope a whale ate him and shat him out, and then ate him again.
Deb: You weren't too close to him, were you?

Dexter: (voiceover) It seems my manifesto unintentionally helped Lundy narrow his focus. That's what I get for trying to emulate Lila and take the offensive. I've always worked best in the shadows. That's where I have to stay.
