I don't know what on earth I'm watching but MCH is in it. That's worth watching lol :-)

[@WIGS]

We love MCH too. And you've stumbled across a good series!

[@chelseaallison9499]

like if your watching because michael c hall is in this

[@cindytime62]

Good to see Michael play another character. He is very good! Love this!

[@M3ganimal]

Michael c. Hall ♥♥♥ so glad he's on this.

[@08lilyloveable]

Sharp as a tack, gotta love Ruth.

[@JazzKayo]

"I would work really, really hard...it being my biggest listing, it would get my full....attention? Is that Erica?" Lol, how adorable is he? Amazing actor! :)

[@thebenosrises]

lol I can't get his Dexter voice outta of my head.

[@ruthierosales9116]

I knew I've seen that adorable face somewhere!!! And this is a mom's killer move if I've ever seen one. Roped him in and bringing him home... yay, mom!

[@ashline1974]

this episode is great! Michael C. Hall. AWWW!

[@debmorgan7285]

Lumberjack Dex is also a broker lol :) MCH is excellent in this. He can carry out any role so well. Really look forward to his work in Cold in July!

[@slinkysmurfette]

After watching the LAST EVER Dexter last night & crying my eyes out, watching this made me smile. It was nice to see MCH in another character on something I like. Eased my Dexter shock se how. Well at least I was able to add this episode to 2 playlists. My "WIGS" PL & my "I love Dexter Morgan" PL ( AKA Michael C Hall & Tommy Everheart realtor). Love Michael C Hall!! Thank for having him on here WIGS! Hope he's in the rest too.

[@lanecrum7010]

Man do I got news for you. Dexter origins. Him interning at Miami metro and first starting. 2025 Dexter first cuts -not sure the years nut animated shorts over a few of his first kills. Some Canon some not. Dexter -new blood 10 years after Dexter. 2024 Dexter - ressurection. Picking up off new bloods 2025.

[@SpringNoel10]

His beard is fantastic!!

[@LaRay82]

Haha, utterly precious! :D

[@SadisticChick666]

Omg Michael C Hall!

[@omshanti5684]

Priceless moments in film: 6:09, Erica's reaction to Ruth hiring Tommy Everheart as her broker .. HAH! Another great cinematic moment.... 0:14 - Ruth finally finds a use for those napkins that she wouldn't let Harry use in the last episode. (She wanted to wait for company) I guess Harry just gets to use those stiff brown towels she steals by the crateload from gas station bathrooms.

[@Frosting1000]

This series does not deserve 8000 views it deserves a million!

[@86apaul]

Dexter from Dexter, Grand-mom from True Blood, and woman from ER. can we say AWESOME!!

[@mbsimmer]

he's adorable! dexter!

[@TokidokiBarbie]

omgoodness Ruth bugs me so much! love Michael C. Hall! (:

[@kudzuken]

Careful, Ruth, you don't want to PO Dexter! LOL.

[@BloomingWithBrittney]

I felt like that at first but then when Tom saw the picture of Erica he seemed interested

[@robinmcrae2281]

Ruth & Erica is phenomenal !! Can't wait to watch the rest. (2:45 am) tomorrow .

[@kellysghost]

Yes, especially after he noticed the picture of Erica

[@WIGS]

Wow - great attention to detail!

[@MrMarla123]

Wow Dexter. Boy, is he looking good!

[@AngelicSlayer23]

Might just be me but I half expected a narration in Dexter's voice going on in Michael's head during some of the scenes

[@Dataisthetruth]

1:52 priceless XD

[@Dataisthetruth]

I had "the crunchies" when I saw my grandma.......she noticed -_-

[@mbsimmer]

This was my favourite episode yet!

[@maybetomorrow11217]

Lol, did MCH just hop from one set to another? He looks like he's wearing the exact same outfit from Kill Your Darlings.

[@kimvanderlaan105]

I love MCH . how do I watch the full episodes?

[@ibliveinme]

Michael C. Hall? Oh my God, WIGS. :')

[@BirdyFin]

Omg Dexter!

[@loml0428]

I so agree, she is textbook passive aggressive! Erica handles her well though. Ruth is always trying to get a reaction out of her it feels like.

[@PriscillaMrtnz]

Michael C. Hall? Are you kidding me? WIGS, have I told you lately that I love you?

[@inmyownworld11]

MICHAEL C HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Yep, I agree with you. From Ruth's somewhat condescending tone with Tom, I doubt she is intending any sort of matchmaking with her "exclusively educated" daughter. Rather, she is trying to make it look as if she is taking initiative to sell the house, but in actuality she is trying to find a realtor who she can manipulate so the house doesn't sell too quickly. He's got everything she wants in a realtor: a former stoner with slouchy socks.

[@vnanna70s]

Mother has other intentions. lol

[@jacoches808]

that was cute... she found someone that will play along with her staying there in her home.. just to tell her daughter that she found someone ... a really really long time on the market.hehe..

[@YazzyJ718]

Smart lady. Choose the bumbling Realtor with no idea how to sell a big listing and you never have to move.

[@WIGS]

WARNING: Do not get "the crunchies" around Ruth. She will notice.

[@Monalu3040]

Michaeeeeeeeeeel...!!!!!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

That Ruth is wicked! I have a lot of compassion for Erica, having to put up her constant passive aggression. Erica deals with it well, but I don't think poor Tommy quite knew what hit him!

[@elizabethburt8156]

It sounds like Erica and Tom know each other pretty well. Probably used to hang at the same parties and smoked a few bowls together....

[@loml0428]

I agree, that's exactly what I got from the things she said. This is very diffcult for her and she wants transitioning out if the house she and her husband have lived in for all those years to not be a fast process.

[@kabukiruiz2168]

Finally Dexter is on! oops I mean Tom! =)

[@lethopeane4365]

With a name like Everheart I'm surprised he's not some superheros' former sidekick like Henry Danger or something.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

I've been doing a little snooping around IMDB and guess what? We can expect a visit from Jan and Mel (Caitlin Gerard and Virginia Madsen) in the next episode. Hmmm..... I wonder if it will just be a little cameo like Blue did when she picked up Jan's scarf in the hotel hallway?

[@tmill016]

I think she just doesn't want to leave the house

[@tinabluvinall]

the subtitles threw me off a bit but this was a good episode! Ruth cracked me up with her thinking the Realtor had the munchies lol oops sorry i mean "crunchies"

[@CharlesGuzman]

Oh gosh I think I know where this is going (do I sense something between Erica and Tommy Everheart brewing?) lol wigs. Can't really trust where you're going with it right now....so I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride :D

[@cadekelley6814]

I think what she's doing is picking a bumbling realtor so the process will take a long time so she can appease Erica. She hires a realtor, but drags out the process so that she doesn't actually ever sell the house

[@ruthierosales9116]

Good call!

[@trghudson]

Michael C. Hall playing a weenie; how un-Dexter, more like Six Feet Under.

[@Lizkate29]

DEXTER!

[@mrs5675]

Dexter!

[@brie_cheeeese]

Michael C Hall, hot damn.

[@ferbo7863]

Dexter wtf are you doing?!

[@kemushichan]

Ｔｈａｔ’ｓ　ｗｈｏ！！　Ｉｔ　ｗａｓ　ｂｕｇｇｉｎｇ　ｍｅ！

[@keepmylittlesecrets]

Haha oh my god "Were you ON marijuana?"

[@tdeans78]

Ruth is a pistol!!! She isn't thinking about getting a realtor or selling that house. She's trying to find a man for Erica!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Oh yes, Tom definitely seems intrigued to see that picture of Erica. But it is a far cry from that to say that Ruth's intention is to match them up. But I DO smell romance in the air... just not from anything Ruth said.

[@smileisafrown]

:D Deexxttteeerrrr

[@RedSox379]

Dexter. :)

[@The9cjn]

Erica and Tommy.......Ruth will see to it.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Yeah, I sort of went over the whole series, and Ruth never has a kind word for her, and is always undermining her and maligning her motives. And yet, she got defensive when she thought that Tom was indicating that she might of had a drug problem. Of course, I know she loves her, but man! she is hard on her. Hard on Harry too, ordering him around all the time.... Hey wait, I think she's my mom! Amy Lippman, did you know my mother?

[@BloomingWithBrittney]

Hmmmm I Think she's trying to fix up Erica...as random as that sounds 0_o There was something about how she was saying a "longgg time" and the "right buyer"... like she was speaking in code and then he responded with this being his biggest listing and getting allll his attention did anyone else get that feel?

[@penguinsflytoo]

Dexter, I hope youre not going to do anything bad

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Did you ever see him on Six Feet Under?

[@kellysghost]

Wayy to short!

[@snak1592010]

dont do it tommy is a serial killer

[@BirdyFin]

i s y o u r s p a c e b a r b r o k e n ?

[@brandil3101]

DEXTER! God he's yummy

[@jazziefizzil]

i still look at him from 6 feet under and not Dexter,

[@bzzinrnd]

You have no view... well, you have a dark passenger... hmmmm!

[@kaybutterflyz]

I'm sorry but I don't like that old lady, lol..........

[@maeherme]

First?
