With all of the problems weighing him down this season, it's unsurprising that he would lash out as he does in this episode. The only thing is, he's never done it before. From his renewed confrontation with Doakes, his breakup with Rita, his new relationship with Lila, Rita's mother on him, and the continuing Bay Harbor Butcher case, the Dark Defender has a lot on his mind. For the first time, chinks appear in Dexter's armor, and this leads to a series of dangerous moves and rash decisions. And now Doakes' obsession with Dexter has been made known to LaGuerta, leading to an intriguing path for Doakes between choosing his job or his obsession with Dexter. Meanwhile, Dexter questions Harry's reasons for adopting him. Was it out of love, or was it simply out of guilt for his mother. Will Dexter abandon Harry and his code, or will he continue to go on his current path? "Dex, Lies, and Videotape" continues to push the story forward, and odds are Dexter and Doakes will face off before season's end.
