As much as Dexter wants to help Debra, he is confusing the problem (Dexter) with the solution (not Dexter). Innocently enough, he thinks that showing a clip of Debra saving a man’s life would shake her into believing she is a better person. Unfortunately, it leads to an attempted drunken confession back at Miami Metro. Before we jump into how the episode ended, let’s take a look at another aspect of it.
This week’s episode of Dexter, “What’s Eating Dexter Morgan,” had an interesting story about a new client of Elway Investigations—a 40-something woman who believes her husband is cheating on her. Deb, fresh from her almost-DUI, and Jacob Elway (Sean Patrick Flanery—yes, the guy from The Boondock Saints) immediately open the case and follow the man. Inside the very same day, the husband is spotted in a van, and he’s barreling into the chest of a shirtless younger woman who is definitely not his wife, and I don’t think he’s bobbing for apples. What makes this short story so interesting is how the wife reacts when the truth is placed directly in front of her. She refuses to believe that the man in the photographs is her husband. The photos “are not clear and the lighting is terrible,” and she apologizes for wasting everyone’s time. She just didn’t want to see it—it’s just easier that way.
