Hall">Michael C. Hall</a>) feels that things have improved for him; he spends more time with Harrison, hangs out with the squad, and is still continuing his night activities. However, his relationship with <a href="/wiki/Debra_Morgan" title="Debra Morgan">Debra</a> (<a href="/wiki/Jennifer_Carpenter" title="Jennifer Carpenter">Jennifer Carpenter</a>) has fallen apart; she quit the police and now works as a private investigator. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Angel_Batista" title="Angel Batista">Angel</a> (<a href="/wiki/David_Zayas" title="David Zayas">David Zayas</a>) has abandoned his plans for retirement, and has now become Lieutenant after Debra's resignation. Later, Miami Metro investigates a dead body in a park, who was killed by a gunshot. However, they discover that the man had the back of his head removed, and that the killer has taken melon ball size scoops of brain tissue. Debra is now in a relationship with Andrew Briggs (<a href="/wiki/Rhys_Coiro" title="Rhys Coiro">Rhys Coiro</a>), a man who has stolen jewels from the mob. Debra often uses drugs with Andrew, still feeling guilt over killing LaGuerta. Dexter visits Debra's employer, Jacob Elway (<a href="/wiki/Sean_Patrick_Flanery" title="Sean Patrick Flanery">Sean Patrick Flanery</a>), who runs a private investigation company. Elway has not heard from Debra in weeks, revealing that she is pursuing Briggs to apprehend him. Tracking Debra's credit cards, he locates her in <a href="/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale,_Florida" title="Fort Lauderdale, Florida">Fort Lauderdale</a>. </p><p>Dexter follows Debra to a store, asking her why she avoids him. Debra finally states that she hates him for ruining her life, also telling him that she "shot the wrong person" on the night of LaGuerta's death. Dexter grows furious, and on the drive home, almost attacks another driver for pulling in front of him. Debra gets into contact with <a href="/wiki/Joey_Quinn" title="Joey Quinn">Quinn</a> (<a href="/wiki/Desmond_Harrington" title="Desmond Harrington">Desmond Harrington</a>) when she finds that Briggs is doing business with a criminal known as El Sapo (<a href="/wiki/Nick_Gomez_(actor)" title="Nick Gomez (actor)">Nick Gomez</a>). Newly reinstated Matthews (<a href="/wiki/Geoff_Pierson" title="Geoff Pierson">Geoff Pierson</a>) introduces Miami Metro to Dr. Evelyn Vogel (<a href="/wiki/Charlotte_Rampling" title="Charlotte Rampling">Charlotte Rampling</a>), a psychopath expert to help with the new killer. Despite having only one murder confirmed, Vogel believes he might be a serial killer, offering a theory on how he got the victim killed. She takes an interest in Dexter, who decides to search her background. </p><p>Dexter finds that El Sapo is not a dealer, but a mob hitman. He visits Quinn to get Debra's motel location, but is forced to bring Harrison with him when Jamie (<a href="/wiki/Aimee_Garcia" title="Aimee Garcia">Aimee Garcia</a>), in a secret relationship with Quinn, is not available,. He visits Debra to warn her, but she refuses to listen, telling her she deserves to die. Briggs comes to Debra's defense and fights with Dexter, which culminates when Dexter kills him with a stab. A devastated Debra orders Dexter to leave, as she calls the police. She gets in touch with Elway, unaware that El Sapo is now following her. The following day, Dexter is visited by Vogel, who leaves him an envelope that contains murderous drawings from Dexter's childhood. He confronts her, but Vogel asserts he cannot kill her, as she does not fit the Code of Harry. Vogel then walks away, leaving Dexter confused. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A_Beautiful_Day_(Dexter)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The episode was written by executive producer <a href="/wiki/Scott_Buck" title="Scott Buck">Scott Buck</a>, and directed by <a href="/wiki/Keith_Gordon" title="Keith Gordon">Keith Gordon</a>.

Sure, "A Beautiful Day" didn't match up to last year's excellent "Are You...?" but I wasn't fully expecting it to. Still, I think this story, this episode, could have benefitted more had it picked things up right after, or soon after, where the Season 7 premiere left off.

It could be, but following a cliffhanger as significant as Deb murdering LaGuerta, the season opener has a lot to accomplish between moving the pieces into place and starting the ball rolling on this season's story. The episode was much better at the former than the latter, though I'm less interested in Evelyn Vogel and the brain-carving killer as I am in what the writers have planned to bring this meandering story to a satisfying close so that wasn't cause for concern."<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Kevin Fitzpatrick of <i><a href="/wiki/Townsquare_Media#Web_publications_and_services" title="Townsquare Media">ScreenCrush</a></i> wrote, "An overly expository premiere to be sure, but overall one that gets the final hours of <i>Dexter</i> off to a very strong start."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Alan_Sepinwall" title="Alan Sepinwall">Alan Sepinwall</a> of <i><a href="/wiki/HitFix" title="HitFix">HitFix</a></i> wrote, "I was glad to see "A Beautiful Day" focusing so much on the estrangement between Deb and Dexter in the wake of LaGuerta's murder, and to see that none of this is being ignored.
