Dexter Season 5, Episode 1: "my Bad" Recap (part 1)

Season 4 of Dexter ended with the completely unexpected twist of the murderous "hero"

of the show coming home to discover that his wife, Rita, was killed by Arthur Mitchell. Mitchell was the "Trinity Killer" who Dexter had just dispatched (not knowing yet of his wife's fate) but it had not been a normal kill for Dexter.

There had been many opportunities for Dexter to kill Arthur earlier. He had passed them up homing to learn something from this monster, because Trinity was a serial killer who maintained what appeared to be a happy family and home life.

Now the truly damage of that choice was felt as Dexter's innocent wife, and probably his best connection to what little humanity he has, was dead in a bathtub and their baby son left crying in a pool of blood.

The episode "My Bad" picks up immediately following Dexter's (Michael C. Hall) tragic discovery. Ambulances and police arrive at his house while Dexter is found kneeling on his front lawn, holding his infant and muttering "it was me." Dexter's co-workers from Miami Metro's homicide department are quick to arrive on the scene, starting with Dexter's sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter.)

The scene inside the house is gruesome and seems to shake the entire department to their core, with one exception. Debra's partner Quinn (Desmond Harrington) is the only member of the force who continues to think like a cop, and any cop knows that when a wife is found dead the first person that should be looked at is the husband. However Quinn is denied any chance to follow his police instinct as Lt. Laguerta (Lauren Velez) immediately hands the case over to the FBI and their Trinity Killer Task Force.

While Dexter is not an immediate suspect most of his friends and family aren't sure what to make of his reaction, or rather lack there of, to Rita's death. Most seem prepared to chalk it up to shock, but all seem to agree that it's not the reaction one would expect. Dexter himself even points out, in voice over, that the neighbor who'd kissed Rita last season was shedding tears while his own eyes are dry.
