This episode started with Dexter cleaning his boat. This leads him to find blood; and not blood that he would have been responsible for. He wonders who would have been on his boat. This is cleared up when he tests the blood and discovers that it was Louis'. But why?
Dexter arrives home and realises that someone has been/is in his apartment (we are shown Isaac Sirko in Dex's apartment awaiting his arrival). To test this theory he leaves a message on his answer phone (in a fake voice). This leads Isaac to leave the apartment - this is seen by Dexter from his car. Dex knows that he has seen this gentleman before - in the Foxhole - and thinks that the Koshka Brotherhood might know that he killed Viktor, and have, therefore, sent a hitman to target him. This then leads Dexter to follow him to a coffee shop where Dexter calls Isaac via the shop's phone. It becomes apparent that Isaac was there to avenge Viktor's death - and he gained Dexter's name due to Louis. Isaac also lets Dexter know that he will get him and anyone else in Miami Metro that is connected to Viktor's murder.
A little later, Dexter realises that Isaac is a powerful man - and one of the bosses of the Koshka Brotherhood. He devises a plan to get Isaac killed - this is as a result of the Koshka's rivalry with a Colombian cartel. Dexter leads Isaac into a bar run by the Colombians and leaves expecting his problem to be solved.
Unfortunately, after Dexter and the team are called to the scene, they realise that Isaac had killed his way out of trouble. The Colombians are slain and Isaac is nowhere to be seen. The silver lining was that whilst Dexter talks everyone through what he thinks happened, they find the blood of the culprit of this slaughter - Isaac Sirko. This then leads to Isaac being brought into custody - followed by prison. Problem solved?
Another key development is between Dexter and Hannah McKay.
She comes into help out with the Wayne Randall killing spree that she was involved in. Batista and Dexter show her some items that were collected along the way on their spree years before. With regards to a toy giraffe, Dexter feels that Hannah is 'nostalgic' when looking at this item.
At the crime scene where they look for bodies connected to this case, Hannah tells Dexter that she 'couldn't move' when Randall committed his first kill. Dexter also shares a story about the first crime scene he was a part of. Hannah compares this interaction to being 'on a date, sharing our first sexual experience'. Is there something between them?
After the discovery of two bodies at the crime scene dig, Dexter describes how they died to the others. At one point he hesitates as he realises that Randall didn't kill both victims - a smaller person seemed to have killed the female of the two. Dexter knows that Hannah would have been the one to do this. When the two of them are away from everyone, he presents his findings to her. She doesn't seem in denial about it too much.
A third situation looked at in this episode is that of Capt. LaGuerta's investigation into the blood slide that she found at the Travis Marshall crime scene at the start of this season.
Masuka is in fear of losing his job after word gets to him that LaGuerta has had an outside forensics team look at evidence (the blood slide). Deb hears of this and asks LaGuerta about this situation; gaining her trust so that she can keep close to this development - LaGuerta even gives the investigation file to Deb 'for her eyes only'. Lucky for Dexter that Deb caught wind of this...
Further to this, LaGuerta wants to interview the families of missing people - some of which Dexter is responsible for their 'disappearances'. They single out one such man who's family are still in the area - Deb makes sure that she is the one to interview the family. This is because the man that Dexter killed was a photographer, and was working a wedding when Dexter got to him - Deb fears that there is a chance that Dexter could be in photos taken at this wedding.
As they interview the son of the family, and look through photos from that wedding, Deb comes across a photo that contains Dexter. She convinces LaGuerta to let her look through the rest of the photos back at the station - she agrees. Dexter's ass is saved again as Deb later gives him the photo so that he can dispose of it. She then informs him that she doesn't want to be part of that side of his life anymore - she even had to lie to Batista to protect Dexter.
Other situations;
- George Novikov informs Isaac that Joey (Quinn) used to 'look the other way' after receiving payments from them in the past. This interests Isaac, as he will have the police off his back then. Money is later left in Joey's car - which he puts in his glove compartment.
- After Isaac's arrest and imprisonment, Dexter goes to visit Isaac so that he can ask why it is so important that he kills him. Isaac replies that he liked Viktor; Dexter says that he killed Mike Anderson so he deserved what he got. After Dexter asks if this is now over, Isaac tells him a story of revenge involving his Grandfather and Great Uncle, which is a clear answer to Dexter's question - No.
Things heated up in this episode as Isaac is now onto Dexter and will not stop until he avenges Viktor's death. Even though Isaac is behind bars this is far from over.
There seemed to be more sparks between Dexter and Hannah McKay here, too. Dexter now knows that Hannah hasn't told the whole truth. He does, however, lie for her when Deb asks about the blood reports from the Randall-bodies crime scene.
Batista also cannot let it go that he thinks that Alex Dubrovny did not carry out the killings that he 'confessed' to. This has led to a rift between he and Deb.
