Season Eight
Dexter Morgan discovers that The Brain Surgeon is Evelyn Vogel’s son, Daniel, who is living under the alias, Oliver Saxon. Evelyn doesn’t want Dexter to kill Daniel. He pretends to agree with her, and asks for her help to find him. Evelyn tells Dexter that one of her few happy memories with her son was that every Saturday, when he was a little boy, she would take him to the King's Bay Cafe by the marina. There was a jukebox there, and he always played the Mama Cass song, "Make Your Own Kind of Music." Believing that Saxon is using spyware to gather information from Evelyn's laptop, Dexter asks her to write a journal entry saying that she is going to King's Bay Cafe the next morning.

The next day, Dexter arrives early at Evelyn’s house before she departs for the cafe. He spikes her tea with a sedative and she passes out. Dexter then goes alone to King's Bay Cafe, intending to capture and kill Saxon, against Evelyn’s wishes. Dexter waits outside and watches Saxon enter the cafe and take a seat at the counter. Saxon drops a quarter into the jukebox and plays the song "Make Your Own Kind of Music." He plays it again and again. When his mother does not show up, Saxon grows impatient. After he exits the cafe, Dexter follows him toward the parking lot, hiding a syringe of M99. Dexter walks around the corner, only to see Saxon driving off in a white truck. Dexter’s tire is slashed and he realizes that Saxon was aware of his presence. Dexter tries to call Evelyn to warn her that Saxon is likely on his way to her house, believing that she sent Dexter to kill him.
