Season four starts off with a bang: a great new guest star, the return of an old one and a smashing cliffhanger

Warning: Spoilers
With a new wife and a newer baby, Dexter is not getting much sleep these days. Baby Harrison cries all night; and Rita robs him of a rare chance to knit up the raveled sleeve of care by preparing a night of sex play. Dexter's sleep deprivation puts his work in jeopardy. He goes to court with the wrong notes, and his screw-up sends a killer free. But maybe that's for the best. His Dark Passenger is calling, and this killer is now available for Dexter to hunt. The trouble is, will the hunter be able to stay awake?

Season four starts off with a bang, and we get at least two terrific surprises. One: John Lithgow will be this season's guest star. Two: Keith Carradine, as Lundy, returns. I missed him, and his relationship with Debra, during season three. But now he's back - retired, but still eager to track down a deadly criminal who always eluded him: the Trinity Killer, someone he can't even prove exists. Ah, but he does exist. And John Lithgow is playing him.

Meanwhile: Debra is still trying to track down Harry's mistress. An interesting new development occurs between Maria and Angel. And the episode ends with a splendid cliffhanger.
