Summary

 * "Remember the Monsters?"

Dr. Kruper enters Deb's hospital room while Dexter is visiting his sister. She introduces herself and checks Debra's wound. She states that the bullet bounced around a lot inside Deb but didn't hit anything important. She thinks that Deb is "really lucky" and is optimistic about her recovery.

Later, when Dexter returns to the hospital, he discovers that Debra has been moved out of her room. Joey Quinn, in tears, informs Dexter that she stopped breathing and was rushed to the ICU.

Dexter and Quinn find Deb's new room. Dr. Kruper informs the two that, during surgery, a blood clot formed that triggered a major stroke. Her brain was deprived of oxygen for a period of time. Both men are distraught in their own ways -- Quinn is emotionally devastated and Dexter is fueled by rage. Kruper tells them that she's sorry.

Dexter asks if Deb will recover. Kruper says it's possible that she could start breathing on her own. Based on the brain scans, though, she won't be able to eat without a feeding tube, think, reason, or even know that he's there.

Quinn insists that Deb is strong and will pull through, claiming that miracles have happened. Kruper says that would be a miracle. Dexter stares at Deb, states that he's never seen a miracle, and leaves the room.
