Summary

 * “Morning Comes”

After Dexter kills Santos Jimenez, he looks through his wallet and finds the address of Starlight Lanes written on a piece of paper. He realizes that Lila told Jimenez the location of the bowling alley, which led to him being attacked. Just then, Dexter’s phone rings.

"Dexter: “Hello?” Rita: “Dexter, hi. Um, look, I'm sorry to bother you, and I'm sure this is nothing, but I was just wondering if by chance you were at my house.” Dexter: “Uh, well, no.” Rita: “Well, it's just that the door was open and you're the only other one with a key.”"

Dexter notices that Rita’s house key is missing from his key ring, and realizes that Lila must have it.

"Dexter: (sternly) “Rita, get out of the house. Call the police. I'll be there as soon as I can.” Dexter: (to Santos’ corpse) “I can't leave you here. I can't take you with me. Don't go anywhere!”"

Dexter speeds back to Miami and finds Rita waiting outside her house.

"Rita: “Oh, hey, I'm sorry to drag you into this.” Dexter: “No, no, I'm glad you called. The kids?” Rita: “Next door.”"

They enter the house together and Officer Fori approaches them.

"Officer: “The place is empty. No sign of forcible entry. I'm guessing you just forgot to lock the door. If you need anything else --” Dexter: (to officer) “No, no, you're not leaving.” Officer: “Sir?” Dexter: “Someone was in this house. You need to have a unit patrolling the neighborhood, and I need you to stay here in the house until I tell you it's safe.” Officer: “Really? I need to do those things?” Dexter: (firmly) “I'm with Miami Metro Homicide. I know you don't take orders from me, but if you’d like, I could get Lieutenant LaGuerta on the phone. Or if you prefer to speak to Captain Matthews, I could arrange that, as well.”"

The officer is now taking Dexter seriously.

"Rita: “Dexter, what's going on?” Dexter: (to Rita, as he leaves) “Please, just stay here, okay?”"

On his way to Lila's loft to retrieve Rita's key, Dexter thought, ''It's one thing to fuck with me, another to fuck with my ex-girlfriend who hates me. The Lila Experiment is officially over.''
