Deb goes to her last session and she tells her that she feels like her whole world has been turned upside down. Her co-workers are looking at her differently.

The new shot caller is Leo Hernandez. He calls Deb and provides information. Before he can follow Leo, the police show up. There is a shoot out and Leo is killed. He doesn't get why he doesn't feel better. He asks Anderson if he thinks he got the right guy, he doesn't know. He does find that the dvd player is on and it is a security disc. They watch the disc at the station and he realizes it is someone who could shut the dog up.

Travis is pulling blood from himself and putting it into a jar. He makes the victim a sandwich. She convinces him to let her go. Travis goes to visit his sister. She convinces him to pain with the kids. He asks what they are painting and they tell him that they are painting what they are going to be when they grow up.

Travis and Gellar are talking. He says that everything should be ready, the "whore" has been marked. Gellar leaves and wants it to be done by the time he is back. Instead of allowing for this to continue he decides to take her to the beach and set her free. He was all set to do it, but the good takes over.

Jamie talks to Louis and it turns out that he has a career and he creates video games. He's developing a game about homicide and he was trying to do research. Quinn gets in between and a little drunkly aggressive with her. He goes too far and Batista hits him. He asks Deb if she ever loved him and she says now is not the time. She has no response and he says "hm, that's what I thought" and walks away.

Brother Sam has passed away. Everyone is distraught. Dexter's the same. Harry asks if he will honor his dying wish. Dexter decides he will at least try to let go of the darkness at least this once. He runs into Nick and tells him that they should talk. They go for a ride.

Debra is alone at home and decides to call Dexter, but she can't get ahold of him.

Dexter takes Nick to where he was baptized by Brother Sam. He asks him about why he killed Sam. He explains that it was so he could get back in with his old crew. Eventually he realizes that he probably can get away with the crime and drops the caring attitude. He doesn't care about what happened. Dexter loses it and ends up letting the darkness win by drowning him in the same ocean he was baptized in.
