So Deb and Quinn need to gather statements from witnesses. Quinn suggests that Deb talk to the two guys trimming the palm trees nearby (they reported the dead body) while he talks to the two girls in bikinis. What a trooper. Deb asks the tree trimmer if he could come down and talk to her. There's a lingering shot of the tree trimmer before he agrees to come down. Totally the killer. He is all smiley and says that his name is George Washington King. How American! He is so completely and absolutely the killer. I'm sorry -- I'm not giving anything away. They couldn't have made him look like a bad guy any more had they put vampire teeth on him. Not that all vampires are bad. Zombie... eyes? What really makes a zombie a zombie? They're all bad. They couldn't have made him look like a bad guy any more had they given him distinct zombie features. Anyway, the other tree trimmer joins them and he's totally shifty and is all, "I keep my eyes on my work!" He's cute though. Still, if there's not something going on here... I'd be surprised. And living in a parallel universe where reality isn't reality, because he's the killer. Maybe it's like Anton's brother and dad and they're a family of tree-trimming, musician people carvers.
Deb catches up with Dexter and asks him if he wants to got for a drink and talk about her Jane Doe. He can't because he has "stuff going on." What stuff? Let's see, well, Rita's pregnant. Deb is stunned and asks him if he's lying. "A mutherfucking, roly-poly, chubby-cheeked shit machine?" If policing doesn't work out, she should really try out the Iowa Writer's Workshop. Dexter says he'd never heard fatherhood described in those words, but... yes, he's having a kid. She's seriously thrilled and says that she's very happy for him and Rita. I love Jennifer Carpenter.
Later, Dexter is playing with an action figure while Rita is getting ready. She kind of pauses for a second because she's not feeling well (morning sickness, in the afternoon) and Dex asks her if she wants to stay home. She says that she wants to see Syl and she knows how much he enjoys hanging out with Miguel. He VO's that Miguel is his "new bestest friend." Rita tells Dexter that she was at the doctor and filled out an extensive questionnaire about her medical background. She told the doctor that Dex was adopted, and he says he doesn't really know anything about the medical history of his biological parents. He VO's regarding his history, "My mother was killed by a chainsaw. My brother was killed by -- well, me." Rita seems disappointed. He agrees to go the doctor and have himself checked out if that will make her more comfortable. Poor sad Rita seems thrilled by this. She says that she's glad that they are in this together and that he'll make a great father...if he wants to. Seriously, how sad must it be to have morning sickness and be trying to convince the daddy to be a daddy? But, no pressure!
