- Dexter begins working with Miguel but they quickly have differences in selecting a potential new victim; Rita discovers that Miguel's wife suspects him of an affair; an old friend of Dexter's asks for help in ending her life.
- The lighting tells us our opening scene is a dream. Dexter is cutting up a victim, when a smiling Prado walks in with golf clubs asking how long until he'll be done.
After discussing the guest list for their wedding with Rita, Dexter goes to visit his terminally-ill friend Camilla as she is being moved to hospice care. Camilla gives Dexter some pictures of himself as he was growing up, and reminds him that he has promised to find her the perfect key lime pie before she dies.
Dexter goes into the office where we see Prado is helping his brother Ramon avoid jail time for the illegal interrogation Debra and Quinn busted him for last episode. Ramon gives up his shield, but will not be charged, a consideration for which Prado thanks Maria.
During a department meeting on the skinner case, Dexter wonders who he should invite to the wedding. Given that the murderer seems to be tailing homicide's investigation, Angel decides they should leak false information that Quinn informant/possible Debra love interest Anton knows the whereabouts of Freebo. Debra does not like this plan.
Debra and Quinn visit the mother of murdered Freebo assistant Wendell, who throws Debra's card at them as they walk up to the door. The mother tells them she found the card in the shorts Wendell was wearing when he was killed, and tearfully blames Debra for coming to their house to question him against her wishes and drawing the skinner to him.
Dexter arrives at a new crime scene, where college valedictorian Lisa Morton has been killed by a screwdriver. Angel's theory is that Morton surprised a sock-wearing robber, who panicked and killed her with his breaking and entering tool. Though the criminal left a trail of blood, Vince believes it was Albert Chung, a man who committed a previous B & E in his socks but walked when the witness ID'd the wrong person in a lineup.
While at the driving range, Dexter tells an agitated Prado about the Chung case. Instead of looking at Chung to 'take care of,' Prado suggest they think about killing Ellen Wolf, the defense attorney who helped put Chung (and Chickie Hines) on the streets. Dexter doesn't like the idea since she didn't do the deed, but agrees to look at some files.
Arriving with a new pie, Dexter finds Camilla distraught that her cancer has slowed and doctors have told her she has another month to live. Camilla said she can't go through the pain any longer, but tells Dexter her Catholic faith prevents her from being able to take her own life. She asks the non-Catholic Dexter if he will end her misery, which causes him to consider that despite his long history of ending lives, he has never killed an innocent person or a friend.
Debra tips off Anton to the department's plan to use him as bait, suggesting he leave town for the near future.
As Dexter looks through Wolf's files, he wonders if his code could include those who are responsible for allowing murderers the freedom to commit their crimes. Sil and Rita discuss Prado, who Sil says is growing increasingly "dark" and distant at home.
Angel and Gianna appear to be getting along well, but she hints to him that as of now she would like them to be friends.
Maria brings Wolf into her office, asking her about the true story of Prado's legal career. Wolf mentions Prado's M.O. includes jury tampering and witness intimidation, among other misdeeds, but that he has covered his tracks well. She also tells Maria that she will be representing Chung, who is about to turn himself in.
Debra hints to Dexter about her compromising the skinner investigation, telling him that if she were ever to end up in Camilla's situation he should end her suffering.
Prado, Wolf and Maria discuss the terms of Chung's surrender with Dexter allowed to sit-in. The conversation dissolves into a shouting match between Wolf and Prado, but afterwards Dexter decides Wolf is guilty of nothing more than doing her job and that he has no interest in killing her. Angel invites Gianna to Dexter's wedding, which leads to their making out.
Camilla apologizes for asking Dexter to kill her, adding that she knows his "secret." She saw in his file that Laura Moser was his birth mother, and thinks Dexter is worried if he took her life he would be like brother Brian Moser, the Ice Truck Killer. She swears not to reveal what she knows.
Amado shows up again, telling Debra her I.A. investigation into Quinn is dead after Debra tipped him off. Before leaving she tells Debra that Quinn was responsible for the death of a cop.
Following a dinner party blow-up Sil tells Rita that Prado has gotten worse since she confronted him about his attitude. Dexter tells Prado that they can't kill Wolf, mentioning that the attorney has done some good. Prado blows up at Dexter, who leaves quickly with the family. Back at home Dexter tells Rita that Prado is not having an affair, something which Sil had suspected.
After pulling an all-nighter Debra appears to have found a major break in the skinner case, telling Angel and Quinn that the home of every victim had recently had tree trimming done. She thinks the skinner is using tree-trimming as a cover for observation. Aided by some shady-sounding background music, Quinn implies that Anton's leaving town was a little too "convenient."
Debra meets with Anton, who has not left town. Just prior to the episode's second make-up session, Anton volunteers to be the department's bait, because he knows it will help Debra.
Prado and Dexter meet just following the capture of Chung by Dexter's department, a plan orchestrated by Maria and Wolf. Prado tells Dexter he was right about Wolf not being murder-worthy. Prado apologizes and Dexter asks him to be his best man.
Dexter walks into Camilla's room with yet another key lime pie, ominously closing the drapes before injecting sodium pentathol into a piece and feeding it to her bite by bite. "You finally brought me the perfect pie," she tells him before she dies.
