Summary

 * “Hop a Freighter"

Dexter notices a man who appears to be Joey Quinn near a white van, and sneaks up to inject him with M99. However, it’s actually Stan Liddy who is lying in wait. He tasers Dexter, throws him into his van, and drives off to to Bayfront Park. Once there, Liddy phones Quinn and orders him to come to the docks because he needs him to make the arrest. Quinn is reluctant, but Liddy finally badgers him into it. After overhearing the phone conversation, Dexter realizes that Quinn no longer supports Liddy's investigation into him.

Liddy shows a tied up Dexter his footage of Dexter and Lumen Pierce practicing to kill with a knife. He admits that it can't be used in court because he obtained it illegally. Liddy tells Dexter that if he gives him a full confession, he’ll leave Lumen out of it.

As Liddy begins to record Dexter's confession, Dexter suddenly kicks him in the face and slips out of his bonds. Liddy pulls a knife, but Dexter overpowers him and stabs him in the chest. As he dies, Liddy’s eyes open wide with fear. Just then, Quinn shows up outside the van, expecting to find Liddy. He tries the locked van doors, then leaves an angry phone message to Liddy. Before he walks away, a drop of Liddy's blood leaks out of the van and lands on his shoe, although Quinn fails to notice. Once Quinn is gone, Dexter gathers up the evidence and throws it into the bay.

Dexter listens to a message from Lumen, and learns that she's at Emily Birch’s house and in danger. In a hurry to rescue her, Dexter is forced to leave Liddy's body in the van. However, he’s too late; Emily is dead and Lumen’s been kidnapped by Jordan Chase.


 * "The Big One”

The Miami Metro homicide team (including Debra, LaGuerta, Masuka, Batista, Quinn, and Dexter) arrive at Liddy’s murder scene via a police boat. LaGuerta spots the drop of blood on Quinn's shoe and asks him about it. When Quinn won’t explain, she has him taken in for questioning.

While he’s still at the crime scene, Dexter receives a call from a County Records clerk letting him know that Jordan Chase owns River Jordan Camp. He figures that’s where Lumen is being held. Since he’s without a car, Dexter steals one in the vicinity and heads to the camp.

Quinn is being held as a suspect in Liddy’s murder, due to Liddy’s frequent calls to him and the blood on his shoe. Quinn refuses to describe the nature of their relationship because he doesn’t want Debra to know that they were investigating Dexter.

Realizing that Debra still cares about Quinn, Dexter tampers with the blood test, making it appear that it’s Quinn’s blood on his shoe. This clears him and Quinn later thanks Dexter, but Dexter pretends to not know what Quinn is talking about.
