This episode is without a doubt one of the better ones from season 2. Dexter and his sponsor and new friend Lila embark on a quest to Naples, Florida to track down the only one of his mother's murderers still alive, and try to find some closure at last.
Naturally, taking the road to forgiveness does not come easy to Dexter and before long he has to choose which way he wants to play it. I really like seeing the character evolve, and the start of season 2 has really explored these themes beautifully through the relationship with Lila.
Michael C. Hall does one of his best performances of the season, managing to convincingly portray the many contradictory sides of Dexter's character. The chemistry with Jaime Murray who plays Lila also works well.
As far as the acting is concerned, the guest stars put in some of the strongest performances. Keith Carradine is really good as the stubborn agent Lundy, and I like seeing old 80s star JoBeth Williams playing Rita's mother.
