Power-saw to the people.

Dex is back.

Wah-hoo!

In case you haven' been following our Dexter countdown widget, or seen every conceivable mocked-up magazine cover advertised on various billboards, bus stops, sides of buses, buildings, etc. to make it seem as if ol' Dexter Morgan made the cover of ... well, every magazine there is ... PTR's (and America's) favorite serial killer returns tonight to Showtime with the premiere of its third season.

Now, if you're going to tune in to ol' Lil' on CBS, be sure to set your DVR so that you don't leave Dex out in the cold. And if you don't have Showtime, you can always download the new season via the likes of iTunes or Amazon Unbox.

So what can we expect with the premiere? Read on!

"OUR FATHER"

For Dexter, life seems to be going well. His relationship with Rita and her kids is back on track. He’s no longer under scrutiny at his day job as a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide. And his night job as a serial killer is operating on all cylinders. So when he sets his sights on Freebo, a dope dealer and killer, it looks to be just another night of Dexter’s dark justice. But things don’t go as planned and Dexter must find a way to extract himself from a pair of problems that he created, both in his home and night life. Dexter also finds himself inexorably drawn to Miguel Prado, an Assistant District Attorney, who has a very personal reason to bring Freebo to justice. Meanwhile, Debra is put in a difficult situation when someone from Internal Affairs wants her to inform on her new partner, Quinn.
