Summary

 * "The Dark Defender"

When The Bay Harbor Butcher was revealed to the public to be someone who is killing other killers, Denny created a superhero named The Dark Defender. According to the store owner, Denny was trying to set up the character as a graphic novel called Stalker of the Night. However, before it went into production, Denny's rivalry with Benjamin Alvaro escalated and he's murdered by having his head bashed in.

Dexter works the crime scene along with James Doakes and Maria LaGuerta. Due to the the brutality and the fact that no money was missing from the register, it's determined to be personal. Dexter shows LaGuerta a snow globe with traces of blood on the base as the likely murder weapon.
