I dont think episode 9 could come to any comparison with episode 8. Although, I thought the Dexter and Doakes "show down" was pretty cool.

Episode 8 was great. That's the problem with this show, it's so GOOD that it can't possibly keep topping itself. I've never loved to hate characters (like Doakes, Lila, Paul, etc) so much!

agreed.

i thought that the episode was awesome!

I find all episodes to be consistently good, never been disappointed.
