Summary

 * “Scar Tissue”

Debra is in a downward spiral of guilt over having killed Maria LaGuerta. She has just watched an old video of Harry talking about how he walked in on Dexter dismembering a victim during an early kill. When Harry states, “I don’t think I can live with this,” Debra realizes that he likely committed suicide instead of dying from heart disease.

Debra shows up at the police station and asks Dexter if they can go for a car ride so they can talk. While Dexter is driving down a road next to a lake, Debra asks if Harry killed himself. Dexter admits that he did, by overdosing on his heart medicine, because he thought he created a monster. Debra says that she knows how he felt, and why he did it -- but he only got it half right. She suddenly jerks the steering wheel and sends their car flying off the road and into the lake. It starts sinking with both Debra and Dexter unconscious from the impact of the crash.

Fortunately, a nearby fisherman witnesses the crash. He jumps into the water, pulls Debra from the sinking car, and brings her to shore where she quickly regains consciousness. Debra then sees Dexter sinking beneath the surface of the lake. After a moment of hesitation, she jumps back in, swims to the car, and rescues him.
