In "Shrink Wrap", Dexter goes after Dr. Meridian (Tony Goldwyn), a psychiatrist who supposedly talked women into suicide. At the same time, he receives relationship advice from the doctor while scoping him as a potential victim. To me, this plot line was a little contrived and uneven, and just did not meet the standards of some of the previous episodes. Dexter's kill was a little more original than usual, though, and brought a satisfying conclusion. The Rita/Paul storyline continues, with Rita being a little more willing to let Paul see the kids. However, you just get a feeling that it won't last. In addition, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), appears to be falling for Rudy (Christian Camargo), who seems just a little off to me. Neil Perry's story continues, and LaGuerta becomes convinced that he is not the Ice Truck Killer. Overall, this episode was about a 7 out of 10. That is, until the ending. While not quite mind-blowing, it does make the story far more interesting, and deserves a bump up in score.
