His Dark Passenger is calling, and this killer is now available for Dexter to hunt. Dexter has been working on a case with the same pattern - a young woman is found in her own bath having bled to death when her femoral artery was cut. A killer clean the crime scene meticulously, he only finds evidence of a very similar killing that took place in the same house many years ago. He's surprised when former FBI Agent Frank Lundy, now retired, drops in and tells him about the Trinity Killer, a serial killer on the loose who has been killing women for years and starts claiming a new victim in blood bathtub again in Miami. Lundy seems to know a little about the killer's M.O. He is convinced this new bathtub murder is the start of a new threesome of murders.

Quinn is furious that Dexter let Gomez off the hook, showing him graphic pictures of the victims. Later he is still giving Dexter a hard time. Outside the crime scene Quinn talks with Christine Hill, an attractive reporter. He gives her his phone number.

Later Dexter prepares the kill room for Gomez, a former boxer who he plans to kill in an old boxing ring. While waiting for Gomez to leave the bar totake him to kill rooom ,he falls asleep in his car. A cop gives him a field sobriety test which lets Gomez get away.

Debra is shocked to see Lundy back in town. Lundy speak briefly and congratulates her on making detective. She is still in a relationship with Anton but Lundy's return has shaken her somewhat. She is also still pursuing her father's former confidential informants to see if he had an affair with any of them.

The Miami Metro is chasing a honeymoon murderer. Angel and Maria labor to conceal their new relationship. They spend some time together. They are having a secret love affair while the annoying and the inconvenient Vince Masuka insists in inviting Angel to go to strip-clubs with him.

After his failure, Dexter finds a new grab spot for Gomez. He goes to Gomez' trailer park home and takes him when he answers the door. In the boxing ring Dexter collects Gomez' blood and prepared for the kill. Just then Rita calls, needing him to pick up ear medicine for the baby. Dexter quickly kills Gomez and sloppily dismantles the body. On his way from the scene with Gomez in the trunk, Dexter falls asleep behind the wheel.
