Dex 'n' Doakes 'n' Doakes 'n' Dex, parlez-vous?

Norberto Cervantes is in a cell now, and is being summoned by a guard to "assume the position." Cervantes wants to know where he's going, and guard tells him that "the call came down," and he's taking him to a "more secure block." When they get to the end of the hallway, however, it becomes quite clear that no such block lies in wait for Mr. Cervantes, because when the guard is done stabbing him repeatedly, he makes sure to let him know that Mr. Guerrero is really the one who made the call. Who is this Guerrero character? They're not trying to make us believe he's involved with these ice truck killings, are they? Nah. Anyway, as Cervantes slowly bleeds out on the concrete floor, another creepy orchestral swell comes up in the soundtrack as we hear Dexter atonally singing Frére Jacques...

...to Astor and Cody, and how they're enjoying this I'll never know, because it's pretty bad. Dude, come on, you were the Emcee in Cabaret! I guess MCH figured Dexter would be a shitty singer. Whatever. After he's done, he and Rita are watching TV when she abruptly puts it on mute and starts nibbling on his ear. He VOs, "Every time a woman tries to do this to me it...tickles. Still, it's not entirely unpleasant." Dexter pulls away a bit, and Rita wants to know if there's anything wrong. "Kids...?" "Oh, they sleep through thunderstorms." Nice! Come on, Dexter, don't puss out. She's a total babe and she wants you. They start having a major frenching sesh, and Dexter actually goes for the boob, which really surprises me, to be honest. Of course, things get a bit too heavy to quickly for Rita, who's still on edge, sex-wise, from the, er, aggressive methods of her ex, and she turns away. "I'm sorry," she says. Dexter, feigning exasperation, says, "Tell me." "I can't do this." "It's okay. I'm okay." Then, after a pregnant pause, "There's an elephant in the room and it's name is sex." "Tell me about it," Rita says softly. "As far as I'm concerned it can just stand in the corner and mind its own business," says Dex, trying to be comforting. "It has be right for both us, or it won't be right for either of us, you know?" At this Rita collapses into him, saying, "I can't believe I found the one truly decent man on the planet." Heh. I actually loved this scene. The mood is quickly ruined as Dexter unmutes the TV to learn of Cervantes's murder in jail.
