Storyline

Dexter continues his close friendship with Miguel Prado who praises him for taking action and accomplishing what he could not. Dexter is still concerned at his secret getting out and decides to show Miguel that what he does is not pretty. Unfortunately, Miguel takes a far greater interest in Dexter's plans than Dexter could have imagined. The Skinner strikes again, this time killing the young boy who worked as Freebo's doorman. It's the second time one of Debra's witnesses has been killed and she's wondering if someone may be following her investigation. She thinks she knows who that might be. Debra is again approached by Internal Affairs who threaten her to get some cooperation.

The First Good Friend

Miguel Prado is very close to Dexter, fishing with him in his boat. Dexter thinks that he can support simple joys of male bonding. But when Miguel decides to step further, Dexter brings the file of a white racist killer to test how far Miguel would go in his intent. However, Miguel surprises him and plots a plan to capture the despicable assassin. Meanwhile, Freebo's watchman Wendell Owens is murdered by the Skinner. Debra notes that his two last victims, Wendell and Javier, where murdered after her questioning them and Dexter and she conclude that the unbalanced Ramon might be the Skinner. Maria meets the lawyer Ellen Wolf that uses Maria's inside information to self-promote and damage the career of Miguel Prado. Detective Barbara Gianna finally accepts to have dinner with Angel.

"Si se Puede" is a reasonable episode where Miguel directly involves himself in Dexter's murder. My initial guess about the identity of the Skinner was totally wrong, so I have changed my review. My vote is seven.
