Part 6/8:
As Dexter continued to navigate the treacherous waters of his secret life, he resorted to manipulation to evade suspicion from Doakes. He lied about his alleged battle with addiction, claiming membership in Narcotics Anonymous to protect his secret. Unfortunately for Dexter, Doakes’ discoveries about his deception reignited a flicker of suspicion.
Doakes' subsequent confrontation with Dexter over his fabricated drug problem only deepened the division between them. Meanwhile, Dexter orchestrated scenarios to undermine Doakes, ultimately leading to Doakes’ suspension, a strategy designed to protect his own hidden truths.
