'Dexter' Season 6, Episode 10 Recap - 'Ricochet Rabbit'

Here we are, one episode later from the big twist of the season that revealed what was really going on between Travis and Gellar. Or, more accurately, what was going on between Travis and himself.

As Dexter continues his pursuit of Travis in the most cat-and-mouse way possible (trolling his blog? Really?), Travis sets out to "correct a mistake" and picks up a couple of disciples along the way.

The mistake is Holly, the original target for the Whore of Babylon who Travis let walk after Dexter gave him a sermon. The disciples are creepy blog commenter "Doomsday Adam" and his wife Beth, who has no spine and even less in terms of brains.

But Dexter is a step behind in everything (as he often is at this point in the season), and Travis and his new buddies kill Holly right quick. Holly, by the way, is remarkably unperturbed for someone who was recently abducted and forced to drink blood, as she cheerily struts about her boyfriend's yacht (until she gets knifed of course). The yacht, by the way, is named "Ricochet Rabbit"... that's why this episode is creepily named after a cartoon.

So Dexter gets there only too late, finding Holly's body and killing who he thought was Travis but turned out to be Doomsday Adam. His hazmat suit and some bottles of chemicals allow Dexter to correctly deduce that the next tableau will be a dirty bomb that will release a poison gas. Is this the first time we've had a Big Bad aim for mass murder?

All of this seems to be putting Dexter on edge. Louis doesn't help matters either, as he works up the courage to ask Dex what he thinks about his game. "In the game you can be a serial killer," Louis explains to Dex about the game ("Homicidal Tendencies?" I hope that's just a working title, Louis). Dex finds it "offensive," despite the fact that the game allows you to play as the Bay Harbor Butcher.

Dex only gets more worked up when he misses out on finding Travis and his ghostdad convinces him to actually call the cops. Probably a wise choice, Dex. We've seen you get all worked up over allowing people to die through your inaction, so letting hundreds die at once by not reporting a bomb threat would probably make you feel pretty bad.

Speaking of which, the beginning of this episode showed us Travis talking to Gellar from Dexter's point of view, which means that Travis was having one side of a conversation with himself, out loud. Is this what Dexter looks like when he talks to his dad? Awkward.

Meanwhile, we had another count of setting up the Deb/Dex showdown in this ep, with this quote about Travis that had a pretty obvious double meaning:

Deb: "His sister seemed so convinced he was a good guy."

Dexter: "Maybe she didn't know."

Hit us over the head with it, why don't you?

Oh, speaking of which, Bautista needs to keep his back to the wall. Or, you know, Quinn could back him up.
