Summary

 * “Let's Give the Boy a Hand”

Tony Tucci, the security guard at the Miami Blades Ice Hockey Stadium has been abducted by The Ice Truck Killer, and parts of his body are being found at various locations around Miami. His hand is found on Petrie Beach, his foot is found near an old soccer field, and his leg is found at McCaffrey Pumpkin Patch. During analysis, Dexter Morgan discovers that the parts were amputated while Tony was alive.

Mrs. Tucci (Tony’s mother) meets with friends and family in church to pray for Tony’s safe recovery. A young girl stands in front of the church altar and sings “Amazing Grace.” Mrs. Tucci sits in the front pew, weeping and holding a candle.

Maria LaGuerta enters from the back of the church. Mrs. Tucci spots her, and hurries over to ask if there's any news about her son. LaGuerta shakes her head, and tells her it’s been a long time since she's been in a church. Mrs. Tucci thanks LaGuerta for giving them hope, and introduces her to the congregation. (LaGuerta feels guilty because she originally thought that Tucci himself was The Ice Truck Killer, rather than his victim.)

Mrs. Tucci takes a religious medal from around her neck and gives it to LaGuerta. She says it is St. Anthony, the Patron Saint of the Lost.

Later, Tony is discovered to be alive, held captive in the closed Angel of Mercy Hospital. LaGuerta goes to the church, lights a candle, and makes the sign of the cross.
