Miguel Prado Vs. Dexter!

This is the tenth episode of the third season of Dexter and at long last, here enters the best episode of the season to date. This episode features the moment we have all been waiting for, as the relationship between Prado and Dexter reaches a climax. Based on what happens next, let's hope Dexter is ready for a bumpy ride. A very strong episode with great acting and everyone has their starring moments.

In this episode, "Go Your Own Way," Dexter believes it is time to take the upper hand, but unfortunately Prado is too much of a formidable opponent. Prado threatens Dexter with an ethics investigation on Debra and he eventually contacts the Skinner with valuable info. Meanwhile, Rita tells Prado's wife that Prado is having an affair with LaGuerta.

Overall, this is a marvelous episode and the best one this season so far. But I'm sure the best is yet to come. We are in for a thrill ride for the next two episodes. I rate this episode 10/10.
