Dexter made a mistake: he killed an innocent man, and let a guilty man live. Will he learn from his mistake? At Miami Metro, Debra briefs her colleagues about the bludgeoning cases. Taking a lead from her brother, she found that all the victims point to a smudge of ash. There’s a stray photo in her presentation of a bathtub murder. LaGuerta encourages her to explain Lundy’s theory about the “Trinity Killer” – and takes Deb off the case when it transpires that the killer may have shot Lundy because he was getting too close. Angel and Maria cannot constrain their feelings for each other, and make love one night in the briefing room. Cute Christine continues to beg Quinn for some leads, as she’s afraid to lose her job. She confronts Deb, too, who deflects her questions by offering the “hero interview” she has been begging for. A while later Deb notices from her bullet wound that the trajectory was straight. Masuka confirms that the “Trinity Killer” could not have shot her from that angle. Someone shorter must have fired the gun. With the conflict of interest removed, LaGuerta reinstates Debra to lead the investigation. But despite the random DNA swabs taken throughout the city, they are no nearer identifying the serial killer.
Dex visits Arthur and his family, and notices more cracks in the perfectly happy family. When he hears Arthur is going on an out-of-town trip, he worries the “Trinity Killer” is about to start his next ritualistic cycle. He comes up with some bogus excuse to join Arthur in Tampa, a meteorology conference, and gets permission from LaGuerta. The next day “Kyle” urges Arthur to take him along, claiming he is disturbed about something, and Arthur reluctantly agrees. On the road, Arthur presses “Kyle” to confess, and he tells him he killed someone. He thought he was an animal. Arthur assumes it was a hunting accident, and consoles him that his sense of guilt proves he has a conscious. At home, neighborly Elliot is openly flirting with Rita in Dex’ absence. She is clearly uneasy – but I cannot help finding her annoying.
The day after, instead of going to the Four Wall build, Arthur takes “Kyle” to his childhood home. Stomping past the baffled owners, he shows him the bathroom where it all began. As a ten-year old, he was innocently looking on while his sister Vera took a shower. Startled, she slipped, shattering the glass door and slicing her femoral artery. She was dead before the ambulance arrived. Arthur’s parents blamed him; his mother committed suicide; his alcoholic father was beaten to death. Arthur is excited he could finally tell anyone, so many years later. At night, Dexter prepares to kill Arthur, but finds he’s already left for the Four Wall site at 4:45am. He is about to jump to his death. Is this the lesson about remorse, he was supposed to learn from him? Is that the solution to his monstrous urges? But he cannot let Arthur die this way, and saves his life. Arthur pleads to consider the incident an accident and never talk about it again. “To err is human,” he tells him. “Wait, does that make me human?” Dexter wonders to himself, “huh.”
