Dexter Season 8 Episode 3 Recap, 'What's Eating Dexter Morgan?'

The third episode of the final season, of the Showtime hit drama "Dexter" aired last night. The episode left fans with curiosity over Dexter's sister Debra, who seems to be on a lengthy downward spiral. The episode also revealed that Dexter's freedom may be in jeopardy.

Early in the episode Deb is found by a police officer, passed out in her crashed car, surrounded by empty beer bottles. She is arrested for a DUI, but lucky for her Joey Quinn gets her off the hook, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Jamie.

But Quinn might have even more on his shoulders in regards to helping Deb with her legal troubles. While drunk, Deb is overcome by her guilt and she confesses that she killed LaGuerta. And who does she confess to? None other than Quinn.

"What's Eating Dexter Morgan" certainly made fans wonder how will Dexter take care of his sister. In this episode Dexter told his therapist Dr. Vogel of Deb's troubles, causing Dr. Vogel to raise an interesting question.

"So my question is this: When your sister found out about who you were and what you were doing, why didn't you kill her?" the therapist asked. She was sure to add, "Not that I'd ever advocate such a thing."

Though Dexter's relationship with his sister is certainly complicated, it is not the only thing on his mind. The killer dubbed Brain Scooper seems to know that Dexter is getting close to him. As in this episode the Brain Scooper, who has been sending pieces of brain to Dr. Vogel, started sending pieces of brain to Dexter as well.

To find out what happens next, tune into Showtime at 9 p.m. next Sunday.
