Summary

 * “All in the Family”

Dexter needs Miguel to see Ramon explode so that he will realize how unstable he has become. To incite Ramon, Dexter shows up at Miguel and Ramon's secret spot (a bar/deli) to pick up a take-out order, and pretends to be surprised to find Ramon there.

Dexter acts friendly, while saying things that he knows will annoy Ramon and cause him to react. They include telling Ramon that his brother, Miguel, is sharing family secrets with him, and that Miguel has talked to him about Ramon's heavy drinking. It has the desired effect of making Ramon even more hostile. When Dexter says that Miguel has moved on from their brother’s murder, Ramon uploads his fury that Dexter's department hasn't found his brother’s killer.

Their conversation ends when the counter guy hands Dexter the extra pickles he requested. Dexter smiles at Ramon, asks him to tell his son (Carlos), “Howdy,” and departs. Ramon remains at the bar, fuming and drinking.
