Summary

 * "A Horse of a Different Color”

The homicide team is called to a crime scene at the Botanical Gardens after a gardener reports a circle of dead fish. When Dexter arrives, he passes by cops and bystanders, and crosses the yellow police tape. He sees Sgt. Angel Batista and Det. Joey Quinn questioning a gardener, and Lt. Debra Morgan and Det. Mike Anderson interviewing another gardener.

Dexter approaches Debra and she thanks him for being there. He asks, “What do we got?” Debra answers, “Blood. And fuckin’ fish.”

Debra leads him to Vince Masuka who points out an Alpha Omega symbol on the ground, surrounded by dead fish. Dexter takes photos and tracks the blood to a greenhouse. Inside is a woman strung up in The Angel of Death tableau. An officer accidentally trips a wire and a mechanism releases a support harness. The woman instantly drops down and a spiked collar punctures her jugular vein. Her arms, attached to wings, stretch out to her sides.

A humming sound is heard and Batista releases a swarm of locusts from a cupboard. Everyone present, including the gardener, tries to avoid them.
