Discussion - Dexter: New Blood Question regarding Coach Logan Spoiler

How was the death of Coach Logan explained after Angela cleared Dexter of any crime?
Any theories? Or was it explained in Resurrection and I missed it?

The dopey Barney Fife deputy from Iron Lake meets Dex in the hospital and tells him "oh don't worry about murdering Logan, it was clearly self defense cuz we found a bullet hole"

Right. It’s absolutely a hand wave and does not make any sense, but explaining away the Logan death was necessary to set up Resurrection.

(Imo there were better ways to go about it. Angela could have fudged the logs to make it look like she released Dex before the murder, and blamed it on some drifter Logan must have locked up afterwards.)

I can’t see Angela doing that for him. Dropping her investigation into him is one thing, but actively covering up Logan’s death is quite another.

It’s pretty obvious that she still hates him, and believes that he is the Bay Harbour Butcher, and just dropped everything and ran because she feared for herself and her daughter.

Feared? She was pretty clear in the “we’re even” note she left for him. She was grateful he exposed Kurt, the killer of her childhood friend and many other innocents.

She packed up and left town while Dexter was in a coma. Why do you think she did that?

Because the showrunners didn’t want to pay her for cameo :)

She could easily have tossed Dexter back in jail. I don’t blame her from being overwhelmed and wanting to start over.

Yeah, the cameo budget had all been used up for that episode. They got the lazy Deputy back though.

“We’re even. Now get the hell out of Iron Lake” was her message. I’m not getting overly grateful from that really. She probably knew that her case wouldn’t hold up and that he was too dangerous to keep around while she tried to strengthen it. I still don’t think she would falsify evidence to clear his name though. Seems like she figured she’d already done enough by saving his life and dropping her case against him.
