Dexter Morgan observes her grieving at a funeral home.

Summary

 * “My Bad”

After Rita is murdered, Debra helps Dexter with the funeral arrangements. When the funeral director advises Dexter that he should express his feelings about Rita in the obituary, he excuses himself and walks out of the room. Debra, surprised by this, must carry on without Dexter.

While wandering the funeral home, Dexter stumbles upon a grieving widow and her daughter standing at a casket. ''So this is how normal people do it. No Hefty bags. No diesel fumes,'' he thought. This is what she would have wanted -- a grieving spouse… for once doing what a person’s supposed to do.

As the widow sobs, a flashback reveals Dexter and Rita's first date, when he was stalking Marcetti.

Debra, holding Harrison, walks up behind Dexter and anxiously asks, “Dex. What are you doing?” Dexter stammers, “I was just thinking about Rita... how much…” Debra helps with, “How much you miss her?”

He nods. How much I lied to her from the very beginning, he thought.
