      The beer Deb and Dexter are drinking during their dinner has no bubbles or foam whatsoever. It is clearly water.
    • Quotes

      Dexter Morgan: I've really enjoyed our conversations, James. I lie to everyone I know - except my victims, right before I kill them. It's hard to establish much of a rapport there. Sorry about the cage.

    Arriving in the Destination
    Dexter lives a dilemma with Doakes imprisoned in the cabin, and is considering the possibility of turning himself in. Meanwhile Lila frames Angel and accuses him of rape to force Dexter to stay with her. Debra asks Lundy to investigate Lila and they discover that Lila is an illegal immigrant. The FBI Deputy Director Max Adams assumes the manhunt of Doakes and finds a lead that he may be in Everglades. Lila steals the GPS from Dexter's minivan and arrives in the cabin where Doakes is captive.

    "Left Turn Ahead" is the penultimate episode of this Second Season and Dexter will be in a serious situation since Lila has found Doakes and now he might have to get rid of them two to keep his secret. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Esquerda, Vire em Frente" ("Left, Turns in Front")
