I've enjoyed Dexter as a series. While it's never been the best show on TV, it's always at least avoided many of the usual mistakes and failings of lesser shows, until this episode.
So many missteps in this episode with characters acting in unbelievable ways.
The line "If my son said that's what he saw, I believe him" was particularly bad. There's no way anyone in that position says that line, but they force it in there in order to push the plot in that direction. Then at the end, Dexter makes the mistake of letting the bad guy get away yet again inexplicably by not finishing the job.
