him and he shot and killed three civilian children and received little punishment for it, only being discharged from the Corps. Dexter first approached him at a gun range which Timmons often practiced at. He then pretended that his car had broken down and asked Timmons for assistance. While he was distracted, Dexter sedated him, abducted him and killed him in his home with a Marine Corps combat knife. Before his death Alex admitted that he had committed the crimes which brought him there. Emmett Meridian (Tony Goldwyn) is a psychotherapist who, as Dexter figures out, targets powerful and successful women and has encouraged at least three of his female clients to commit suicide. Dexter stalks him by taking therapy sessions under the guise of Sean Ellis and, to Dexter's surprise, ends up making a psychological breakthrough with him. Emmett puts Dexter into a state of calm and helps him to remember his dark past, seeing a boy in blood but initially not understanding the meaning. This allows him to let his guard down and helps his relationship with Rita. Dexter also manages a major catharsis by telling Meridian about his murders before killing him.

His M.O. is that he will put his victims on anti-depressants and eventually abruptly stop writing prescriptions, preventing the patients' brains to have time to adjust to the rapid change. His victims were Meghan Dowd, Carolyn Jillian, and Vanessa Gayle. Bob Hicks (Scott Atkinson) was Paul Bennetts' sponsor from Narcotics Anonymous for his recovery from drug abuse. Bob came around Rita's house to plead that Paul was innocent and that there had been a mistake. He was there to tell her that Paul had been clean for over a month and that it was unlikely that he committed the crime.

Chino, despite his nickname, is extremely tall and well-built (his mugshot photo indicates he is just short of 6 foot, 9 inches) and used a machete to kill any witnesses of his gang's crimes; and for every
