Having decided that the Bay Harbor Butcher has experience in law enforcement, Special Agent Lundy informs the local officers that all of their old cases will be re-examined. Dexter is on the defensive and Lundy almost catches him out over one of his cases. As Dexter helps Lila clean up her loft after the fire, he realizes that something is wrong with her story as to how the fire started. He also comes to realize how dangerous her obsessive behavior can be. Dexter has a close call when his mother's killer decides to pay him a visit so Dexter decides to do what he should have done the first time they met. Sgt. Doakes, suspended for assaulting Dexter, breaks into his apartment looking for evidence. Written by garykmcd

Agent Lundy has his team working on the assumption that the Bay Harbor Butcher is in law enforcement. Later, he, with the help of Angel and Debra, manages to narrow the search down even further: the Butcher works in that very police department. The noose tightens around Dexter's neck as Lundy uncovers some bad blood work Dexter did - deliberately bad work that led to a killer going free (which allowed Dexter the opportunity to murder him). When Doakes learns of this bad blood work, the noose gets even tighter. Meanwhile, Dexter becomes increasingly suspicious, and wary, of Lila. Cody struggles to understand why Dexter is not coming around as often. Lundy invites Debra to dinner. Written by J. Spurlin
