      The chemical weapon in question is sarin gas. While not nearly as deadly as later nerve agents like VX, Dexter is shown to suffer massive exposure, He would have to be hospitalized immediately for quite some time and receive heroic treatment to survive.

    The Poisonous Gas and the Snake
    The police investigate the crime scene in the marina while Beth goes to Miami Metro with the poisonous gas in a backpack and waits for Debra, telling that she has information about the Wormwood. However, Dexter sees Beth and locks her in a room, saving the lives of people in the police station. La Guerta leaks the involvement of Matthews in the death of the prostitute and he believes that Debra has betrayed him. Dexter decides to call the attention of Travis and he makes a tableau using Gellar's hand.

    In "Talk to the Hand", the naive Debra learns that LaGuerta has used her interest in the case of the prostitute to get rid of MaatthewsDexter becomes a hero for his colleagues, protecting them against the poisonous Gas. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Fale com a Mão" ("Talk to the Hand")
