"Nebraska" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American crime drama television series Dexter. It is the 67th overall episode of the series and was written by co-executive producer Wendy West, and was directed by Romeo Tirone. It originally aired on Showtime on November 13, 2011.
Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. In the episode, Dexter goes on a road trip when the Trinity Killer is reported to have returned, while Travis abandons Gellar.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.99 million household viewers and gained a 1.0 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticizing the lack of progress in the main storylines, although the scenes between Dexter and Brian were singled out for praise.
