Up In Smoke

At the strip club, Isaak Pullo is checking out a photo of Dexter and says that he "looks familiar," so I guess he didn't really have any idea who Greene might have been talking about last time. That's a little disappointing, really. Isaak Pullo makes up for it, though, by exasperatedly correcting Jason Gedrick when he says that Dexter is a "blood splatter" analyst, and the fact that Isaak Pullo is so impatient with that particular error suggests that he and Dexter would have a real shot at being friends with some admittedly large circumstances changed. Jason Gedrick says that their research shows that Dexter's a pretty normal guy - the only irregularity worth noting is the murder of his wife. Isaak Pullo then asks about Greene, and when he's told that he worked for MM as well, wonders if Viktor's death was payback for killing Anderson. Well, in part and in a way, but it's so different a scenario from what you're envisioning that it's quicker just to say "no." Jason Gedrick then mouths off about how Viktor screwed them real good with this Anderson stunt, and if he notices that Isaak Pullo fixes him with a look that should by rights be causing all the vodka in the place to go up in flames, he doesn't acknowledge it; instead, he goes on that everything was going great for them until Viktor showed up in Miami.

Isaak Pullo grits that Viktor was a good man - he was loyal, committed, "and he was here to do what you couldn't: keep the Colombians from taking over our traffic!" Well, I'm not particularly trying to defend Jason Gedrick, especially given how dumb his hair is, but it's hard to see how even killing Soroka was instrumental to Viktor's work with "the Colombians." You kind of have to concede that killing a cop on top of that wasn't the greatest business decision. The show seems to tell me we're friends again when it proves my point by having MM conduct yet another raid at this very moment, and Quinn makes a big show of yelling the by-now-usual marching orders for everyone within. Quinn and Nadia then engage in some flirtation, and even though it's pretty light this is Quinn and a stripper we're talking about, so it's not a shock when this African-American female cop (she was on the scene in the premiere when Anderson's body was taken away; she's listed on IMDb as "Detective Angie Miller") is like, "Do not tell me you are fucking her." I like her already. She steps away from Quinn, and I don't blame her, but that leaves Jason Gedrick free to sidle up to Quinn and essentially offer him some cash and blow to make all this go away, an offer the type of which it's implied Quinn regularly accepted back in his Narcotics days. Not this time, though...
