episode: The Swan
It begins with Dexter narrating a poem called, Leda & the Swan: "A sudden blow: the great wings beating still above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed by the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. How can those terrified vague fingers push the feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? A shudder in the loins engenders there. The broken wall, the burning roof and tower, And Agamemnon dead. Being so caught up, so mastered by the brute blood of the air, Did she put on his knowledge with his power before the indifferent beak could let her drop?"
Dexter is reading the poem from his laptop at a cafe. Suddenly; A strange, good-looking man comes up to him & accuses him to be an incubus. Dexter thinks the young man is crazy as he never met him but the young man, name Caradoc Lubomir, claims that he (Dexter) is an incubus! Dexter talks to the man outside of the cafe as he argues that he never did anything erotic towards any beauitful girl as Caradoc thinks he's lying. Dexter says that he doesn't remember a single thing about what he done and Caradoc gives him three days to find out about his true nature.
While he accepts the strange man's request; Dexter has dreams of an incubus sexually arousing a pretty girl, who feels torture and pleasure. Dexter is shocked as he wants to know why he gets these dreams as his jealous towards Heath continues but he doesn't show his feelings of hate towards him! Heath casually talks to him about Brunette but learns that he (Dexter) is infatuated with her and teases playfully. Dexter gets uptight & leaves while Heath calls out in an assuring tone that he was just playing around however Dexter ignores him and is seen reading the Leda & the Swan poem on his laptop when Caradoc comes to visit him.
Caradoc asked him about the poem and how it relates to modern life. Dexter replies that it's all about obsession, He then ask the handsome fellow if he came to taunt him again! Caradoc replies that he wanted to check up on him until he finds out who he really is! "Oh yes, I'm a fricking pompous brat with no social life." Dexter said sarcastically. "Really?" sneered Caradoc, "You remind me a bit of a swan. Heh, A good looking one. But swans don't have brown hair and hazel eyes." Dexter claims that he heard that before and mentions that "Leda & the Swan" is his favorite painting & story. Caradoc asked him what is it so fascinating about it.
Dexter is silent, closes his laptop and puts it in his bag to pull a knife out as Caradoc contiunues: "The way Leda looks is so amorous as she's helpless against the swan against her. Naked and so enchanting....Unlike you!" Enraged; Dexter attacks Caradoc but he is no match against the guy as Caradoc taunts him and abuses him. He lets him go and leaves by saying, "You still don't know what you are, who I am and what you done." That night; Dexter has a dream of a swan ontop of Leda, who looks like Brunette, as the swan shows lust on her: His bill arousing her neck while she gasps against the white rush of the swan. The swan morphs into a human and the human reveals to be Dexter himself!
Dexter wakes up in cold sweat as he hurries to go training but is cornered by a teasing Heath, who learns about Dexter's wet, horny dream and asked him playfully if Brunette was any "good". This angers Dexter and the two boys as she demands to know what's going on! Heath calmly explains as Brunette admonished them to stop fooling around and prepare because Kitty & her girls are coming! During tae kwon do training; Dexter is struggling with the techniques so Brunette takes him aside and help him out as he tells him that he has his own fantasy world to control and assures him to "let go". Dexter imagines him as a swan and he is waltzing with Leda! Brunette praises him that he's getting the hang of the technique and he was, Dexter is more gracefully in tae kwon do.
After class; Dexter learns that Brunette doesn't know how to do a cartwheel and she (Brunette) fears the feeling of being upside down. Dexter shows her but he doesn't realize that he's touching her thighs, Heath ask why he is doing that. Mortified at his mistake, Dexter stops as he is impressed that Brunette's powers are helping her do a cartwheel! Later; Dexter finds a music sheet with a strange title: "Incubus Thoughts" and the lyrics are very strange, haunting:
"Amatory. Amorous. Aphrodisiac. Bawdy. Carnal. Coition. Coitus. Copulatian. Erotic. Eroticism. Erogenous. Gamic. Intimate. Loving, Libido, Lusthood and Lascivious. Passionate. Potency. Pareunia. Reproductive. Sexy. Sensual. Salacious. Venery. Venereal. Voluptuary. Incubus Thoughts of Seduction, Taste of a Virgin. More than just arousing, Less to kill beauty of a virgin."
Dexter is shocked as Caradoc's voice startles him, The young and handsome man taunts him as Dexter is irritated so he gets upset: "You claim that I did something wrong. I haven't done anything wrong at all, you f**king lunatic! I HAVEN'T DONE ANY F**K WITH YOU OR ANY F**KING WHORE!" Caradoc ask why should he believe Dexter, who rebukes him by demanding him to beat him up but Caradoc refuses because he is not through with himself yet until Dexter finds out what's going on. Dexter begins to grow frustrated and storms away. The next day, Dexter is taking a shower when he sees black bruises on his upper thighs as wonders how that happened.
His alter self questions him if these unfortunate events make sense. Dexter is confused and gets out of the shower and gets dressed in his white Gothic-like straitjacket, his pants and notices that he has another black bruise on his right hip. Dexter and his alter self argue over Brunette: Dexter claim that he just kiss her but his alter self doesn't believe him! Dexter swears that he doesn't remember as he is about to break down until Caradoc appears and explain to him: Dexter spiked Brunette's drink as well as passionately kiss. But he did something that was totally true: Dexter raped Brunette! But it wasn't abusive, It was pleasure and she (Brunette) didn't know it was him however she continues to enjoy the sweet torment.
Dexter learns that incubus-type deities "drool", It is very normal for them because the thought of making love with a beautiful girl seems delicious & black saliva is foamed at the mouth. Dexter shudders but Caradoc assures him that it's not a cannibalistic thing, it's just "normal"! The greatest twist is revealed: Dexter Cortez has developed a split personality disorder, Caradoc is his "creation" as Dexter remembers that he served for the Russian vampires, Esteban & Wathom, who abused him and he meets Heath, who helped run away from them.
Dexter created the name, Caradoc Lubomir, when he was all alone & broken in his heart. Now, Dexter goes into pure insanity as Brunette receives a vision about it and must go find out what's wrong with him!
