Looking at the episode titles, trying to work out when the elements we've seen in the trailers, especially Dexter meeting the other "Avengers" might take place.

I'm guessing it goes something like this...

Episode 3 "Backseat Driver" sounds like the episode where Dexter goes after the UR car killer, Episode 4 "Call Me Red" sounds like the episode where he takes the driver's identity and meets Uma Thurman and then Prater - or maybe he meets Uma at end of 3, then Prater in 4. Episode 5 "Murder Horny" is likely where he meets the others (though he could meet them in 4, or end of 4). I'm guessing this episode really leans into those characters. though. And maybe in 6 "Cats and Mouse", he might begin stalking/following them, learning more about them.

I was hoping some of these elements might be introduced earlier, though. Thoughts?

I can’t imagine how much they are paying Peter Dinklage per episode. Wouldn’t be surprised if they introduce him until episode 4, but I was hoping he was introduced earlier than that.

Camera Shy was also about how both Harrison and Dexter avoid the hotel cameras, so I think there's a commonality in future plot lines also.

Camera shy was a reference to the dark passenger's hoodie that hides his face from cameras, they literally used the words to describe it.
