Meanwhile, Debra has ordered a cab to take her to the airport as she’s leaving Miami with Frank Lundy. When the cabbie arrives, she gives her destination as Terminal 7, Miami International Airport. As he begins to load her luggage into his trunk, Debra’s cell phone rings.

"Debra: (to Rita) “Hey, I'm just -- I’m getting in a cab.” Rita: “Look, Cody and Astor are missing.” ' Debra: “Did you call the police?” ' Rita: “Dexter said to call you.” Debra: “Okay, um, you just sit by the phone. I'll take it from here.” Rita: “All right.” Debra: (to cabbie) “Hey, hold up. Could you just wait?” Cabbie: “You don't want to go to the airport?” 'Debra: (nearly in tears) “Of course I want to go to the airport.”"

The cabbie returns to loading Deb’s luggage.

"Debra: “Wait. I just said wait.” 'Cabbie: “For Christ’s sake, honey, make up your mind.” Debra: (feeling very torn) “Why? Why do I have to make up my mind? God damn it!”"

Deb ends up staying in Miami without Lundy.
