History
After Fred “Freebo” Bowman disappears (killed by Dexter), the police wrongly assume that he’s the one who killed and removed skin from Teegan Campbell and Javier Garza.

With the police under pressure to find Freebo, Debra questions Freebo’s doorman, Wendell, at his house, despite being asked by his mother to stay away. George King, who actually murdered Teegan and Javier, is also looking for Freebo. King follows Debra and consequently she leads him right to Wendell whom he tortures for information about Freebo.

Summary

 * "Si Se Puede”

The police find Wendell’s body near a marina, propped up in a white lawn chair. A large patch of skin is missing from his chest. When Dexter arrives at the scene, he sees Debra leaning over the hood of her car.

"Dexter: “You need a jump? I have cables.” Debra: [distraught] “Skinner struck again. Super-hard this time. The victim's name was Wendell Owens. He was fifteen-years-old. It's more collateral damage in our search for fucking Freebo.” Dexter: “Wendell Owens?” Debra: “I brought him in for questioning the other day.” Dexter: “I thought I remembered hearing his name somewhere.” Debra: “He might have been mixed up with some lowlifes, but Wendell was a pretty decent kid.” [sobs] “Go do your thing. I just need a minute.”"

Dexter walks over to Vince Masuka, Joey Quinn, Angel Batista, and Maria LaGuerta as they are in discussion.

"Masuka: “Body's still warm. Putting time of death about three hours ago. Unlike the two previous victims, this one died from the skinning process itself.” Quinn: “Jesus Christ.” LaGuerta: “Freebo's probably in another galaxy, and the Skinner doesn't even know it.” Batista: “Meanwhile, he's stepping up his game.” Quinn: “Maybe we let the press know Freebo got outta Dodge, might get this guy to put down his Ginsu knife.” LaGuerta: “Or he'll keep looking, take his horror show on the road, become somebody else's nightmare. No, I wanna nail whoever's doing this.” Dexter: “He's definitely not learning to do this on the fly. He's had plenty of practice.” Batista: [to Quinn] “You run this through the national database, see if a similar M.O. comes up anywhere else.”"

Dexter begins to take photos of the crime scene.
