Summary

 * "Dexter"

On a hot, humid day, Dexter and Debra are sitting outdoors at a picnic table with peeling paint. As they eat, they discuss the recent murders of prostitutes that were drained of blood and dismembered.

"Debra: “Help me out. LaGuerta still has me interviewing hookers.” Dexter: “It's a waste of time. Deb, if he was interrupted... think.” Debra: “Jesus Christ, right. Because then how do you have time to wrap all the pieces? She's dumber than the boat people. Throw her a fucking raft.” Dexter: “But now we have a fourth body, and the cuts were different. And that's telling us a story. The ritual is changing. He's looking for some kind of inspiration and not finding it.” Debra: “So he keeps doing it until he gets it right.” Dexter: “I could be wrong.” Debra: “So how the hell was your date with Rita last night?” Dexter: “Great. You should try it sometime. You need a life.” Debra: “Well, find me a guy I can trust. I need a transfer to Homicide, bro, then we'll see about a life.” Dexter: “I understand that. It certainly would sound better for the kids to say, ‘Mommy's on Homicide.’' Debra: “Don't make me hit you.” Dexter: [chuckling] “Come on. Then we could talk about more little Morgans, nephews and nieces. What's wrong with that?” Debra: [scowling] “You sound like Mom. I just -- tell me what you know about cell crystallization.” Dexter: “What do you mean?” Debra: “I heard the coroner say it last night. He was talking about that dead... the headless chick.” Dexter: “You got that look in your eye.” Debra: “I was there before you, and I noticed this body looked different than the other ones. The pieces were cold. They were, like, meat-packing cold. Is that what cell crystallization means?” Dexter thought, My god, why didn't I think of that? It's beautiful. Debra. “Dex. What are you thinking?” Dexter: “Sorry. That makes sense. Cold. It slows the flow of blood.” Debra: “Why the hell is that important?” Dexter: [touching his glass of ice water] “It's just a feeling.” Debra: “That's not good enough. I got to show LaGuerta and her boys. They're making fun of me. They're saying the only way I can close a case is on my back. I got to get out of Vice. Dex, please, you got to --” Dexter: “Refrigerated truck.” Debra: “What the fuck are you talking about?” Dexter: “A refrigerated truck. He wants a cold environment to slow the flow of blood, clean and mobile so he can dump the garbage afterwards.” Debra: “So I'm looking for a refrigerated truck now?” Dexter: “Probably a stolen one. You think there are a lot of stolen trucks out there?” Debra: [smiling] “Are you nuts? In Miami?”"

During a briefing at the police station, Debra suggests a search for a refrigerated truck, but Lt. Maria LaGuerta dismisses the idea.
