    • Trivia
      This marks the first time Dexter has ever said the words "I love you" to another person other than Harrison.
    • Goofs
      When Dexter is getting a specimen from the vial that Chase wears around his neck; he says he's using a 30 gauge needle to obtain his specimen. In fact he's using a 19 gauge needle; the needle he's using has a green hub. That is the color code for a 19 gauge needle.
    • Quotes

      Dexter Morgan: You were a teenaged girl, right? How do I deal with Astor?

      Lumen Ann Pierce: Try talking to her.

      Dexter Morgan: Last time I did that, she said she hated me and moved to Orlando.

      Lumen Ann Pierce: Well, now you get a second chance. Share something with her, what you did when you were her age.

      Dexter Morgan: I killed the neighbor's dog.

      Lumen Ann Pierce: Well, don't tell her that.

    This was a very enjoyable episode
    Lot of stuff going on...lot of emotions for characters...whether it is positive or negative.

    I don't feel compelled to review every episode of Dexter unless it is significantly good, significantly bad, or something else triggers it. Majority of the episodes are mediocre and not really worth writing a review on. No point in me writing...this was an ok episode. I'd be struggling to make a review that is long enough. If I even feel compelled to, I'll just leave a rating.

    The thing that made me leave a review was Peter Weller. I love this character...and he plays him so well. He was also in an episode of Psych and I liked him in that, but it was very little screen time. I love what he is doing with his limited time here.
