Dexter has well and truly crossed the line between funny and annoying, although that's mostly down to the storyline.Watching him clowning around and making jokes about the fact he's left his supposed friend in tears and, in his own words, messed up three lives doesn't exactly evoke sympathy and makes it hard to see why April would choose him over Xavier.Admittedly Xavier himself doesn't exactly colour himself in glory, from the absurdly melodramatic "western showdown" to his understandable but slightly over the top reaction to April's self-justification.But it's still a satisfying moment when he finally snaps and punches his annoying rival.Colleen for once has a worthy target for her disapproval and Indigo having a go at April is a good moment.
As with the previous episode, Dexter's actions are contrasted with Sid's, as his burgeoning romance with Roo is soured by others' belief he may have cheated on Marilyn with her.In a role reversal, Dexter is forced to accept Sid's relationship because of his own behaviour but, after a good start, Indigo ends up harassing Roo over the matter, which is especially unfortunate given Roo's actually been pretty mature about it.Romeo finds himself unusually cast in the role of a moderating force and actually talks sense when advising Indi over the matter.
