I liked the psychoanalyst bits, and it looks like the main arc is picking up steam (with the ex-husband story promising to turn into something a lot bigger).

What a conceit for Tony Goldwyn (director and bad guy for the episode), but since I never have liked his work, the episode worked for me.
So the obvious clues from previous episode did lead to the reveal of the icetruck killer, and Dex is going to be in for a confrontation on 2 fronts when Ken and Barbie finally meet.
Loved Dexter's inner monologue during the analyst sessions. It's sort of funny how he undertakes these self-imposed undercover assignments to solve crimes (though the police cases will end up listed as suicides and not officially solved).
Perhaps we'll find out something else about Rita that makes her psychological makeup sympatico with Dexter's.
I chuckled at the "Is that Eric Carmen?" line.

If you haven't read the (flawed and mediocre) book, there's still a surprise in store. This show has taken a really crude framework and built something much better onto it.

This is by far my favorite new show of the year. Michael C. Hall should at the very least get an Emmy nomination. Yeah, I kinda figured out who the ice truck killer was a couple of episodes ago, but I'm guessing it wasn't really supposed to be a big shocker.

The scene where he tells the doc he's a serial killer was great. I don't know what is crazier, being a serial killer or pushing a naked Julie Benz off of you.
The Ice Truck killer reveal would have been better if they hadn't beaten us over the head with hints last week.
