Summary

 * “Let's Give the Boy a Hand”

Dexter Morgan follows clues to an abandoned hospital where he finds a partially dismembered Tony Tucci on a kill table, blindfolded, and begging for a merciful death. However, since Tucci does not fit the Code of Harry, Dexter refuses to end his life. Instead, he calls in an anonymous tip to Debra and leaves the hospital.

While a bored Debra is working late at the station watching surveillance footage, an assistant enters the little room. She hands Debra a message that came through dispatch for her. When Debra reads the note, she can’t contain her excitement.

"Message: Tucci... Angel of Mercy Hospital - basement."

The police are sent to the hospital and Tucci is rescued alive. Captain Thomas Matthews congratulates Debra and praises her as his “up-and comer.” Lt. Maria LaGuerta assigns Debra to work the case with Angel Batista.
