Summary

 * “Hello, Dexter Morgan”

As Dexter and Rita are about to meet with their marriage counselor, he’s called to a crime scene. Before he leaves, she abruptly reveals to Dexter that she kissed Elliot Larson.

At the crime scene, Lt. Maria LaGuerta interviews a distressed neighbor, while Dexter and Vince Masuka examine a corpse. The neighbor tells LaGuerta that when he came over to borrow the dead man’s lawnmower, he saw him through the window, and found the door unlocked.

Masuka informs Dexter that choking was the apparent cause of death due to bruising around the neck. Dexter, who is taking photos, points out multiple impact marks on the floor where someone also smashed his head against it.

As they work, Masuka unsuccessfully tries to get Dexter to reveal his marital problems. Finally, he blurts out that he saw Rita kissing Elliot on Thanksgiving Day. When Dexter says that Rita told him, Masuka shows immense relief.

To his surprise, Dexter overhears the neighbor telling LaGuerta that the dead man’s name is Kyle Butler. Since that’s Dexter’s alias to Arthur Mitchell, he realizes that Arthur is still in Miami and looking for him. Another death of an innocent man that I'm responsible for, Dexter thought.
