Summary

 * “Born Free”

When Debra is captured by Brian, Dexter saves her life. He accompanies her in the ambulance and, while on the way to the hospital, she breaks down, crying.

In the waiting room, Dexter marks time with reflection:

"“What did I just do? I drove away a brother who accepts me, sees me, for an adopted sister who’d reject me if she knew and a foster father who betrayed me. That’s what it was -- a betrayal. The most important single fact about me -- I’m not alone -- and Harry kept it from me. What do I really owe him after that?”"

Eventually, the doctor emerges from the exam area and calls Dexter’s name.

"Doctor: “Mr. Morgan? Mr. Morgan?” Dexter: “That’s me.” Doctor: “Your sister has a few bruises, but no major injuries. Still, you should keep an eye on her. I’ll write a prescription for a mild sedative.” Dexter: “But she’s okay, right?” Doctor: “She can go home with you tonight, far as I’m concerned, or we can keep her here at the hospital. It’s your choice.”"

Dexter decides to have Debra admitted to the hospital so that he can set a trap for Brian in his apartment.
