But this was a plot-heavy episode, so lets get into it.
Oh, Deb, says Harry, father of the year.
Deb will, too.
That gives Dexter permission to put a pin in his search and tail Spencer instead.
Oh, right, Deb.
It turns out Petrie was a psychiatrist working with adolescents at Harbor Light Mental Hospital.
Rest assured we also get a joke about Detective Raymonds bad toupee gotta keep things light!
They party on the beach in Bimini as Gerardos iconic Rico Suave plays.
(The music cues on this show are rarely subtle.)
She tells him that she loves him, assuring him that its fine if he doesnt say it back.
To quote Harry Morgan: Oh, Deb.
Would you believe that Gio, obvious criminal business dealings aside, is not on the level?
Shes also kind enough to let Dexter know where Gio would have taken Deb.
Back in Tampa, Harry and LaGuerta are slowly making their way through the patient files.
While Maria is out of the room, one particular name jumps out to Harry: B. Moser.
(Id be messed up, too, and thats to say nothing of the shipping-container slaughter.)
Despite identifying as one of the good guys, Harry steals the file before LaGuerta can see it.
Gio walks in on her, and that temper flares again.
Fuck your fucking yacht, Gio!
she answers, even though shes now stranded in Bimini.
Then, sheactsstupid by throwing her very expensive bracelet into the water.
While it floats down, Heart of the Oceanstyle, Dexter has a lightbulb moment.
Inside, Captain Spencer antagonizes the cartel members at gunpoint, demanding to know where his son is.
Gosh, its almost like he wants to escalate the situation!
Sure enough, someone pulls a gun, and a shoot-out ensues.
I think that lets Harry off the hook for his repeated dismissals, but its a pretty chilling moment.
Not quite as chilling as how the episode ends, however.
Throughout Business and Pleasure, we get more flashbacks to Laura Moser as her story nears its conclusion.
After Estradas men spot Harry indiscreetly pushing Dexter on a swing how is he so bad at this!
the drug lord realizes Laura is working with the cops.
And it all goes back to the formative moment when he saw the brutal murders in the shipping container.
Blood Spatter Analysis
So Gio is definitely a high-level dealer, yes?
LaGuerta discovers the file that Harry stole, which seems likely to cause some problems for Detective Morgan.
A subtler Easter egg arrives in the form of Camillas boat, namedSlice of Pie.
In the original series, Dexters boat is theSlice of Life, renamed fromSlice of Heaven.
And (vague spoilers ahead) a slice of pie plays a big role in Camillas death.
This is not something we said in the 90s!
Go to Blockbuster, sure.
Rent a movie at Blockbuster, okay.
But rent a Blockbuster?
Not on my watch.
