Season 7, Episode 3 returns to the crime-drama format while still keeping the story going
The newest episode of Dexter, “Buck the System” continues with Deborah trying to rehabilitate poor Dexter and cure him of his killing habit. Unfortunately for Dexter, he reacts much the way any addict would, getting nervous and twitchy. He also starts having fantasies about killing and loses his temper a bit. But all-in-all, he’s holding up pretty well.
Despite the withdrawals, Dexter manages to tie up some loose ends with Louis and pick out a target for his next hunt. He doesn’t just go and do the typical hunt-and-kill thing that he usually does, however.
Instead, he chooses to let Deb in on what’s going on, trying to show her how he could get rid of the bad guy before anyone else gets hurt. Deb resists (naturally) and Dexter ends up supporting her decision to watch the guy and have him arrested if he tries anything.
