Travis tasks Beth with unleashing Wormwood poison gas in the Miami Metro squad room, but she's stopped by Dexter, saving everyone's life. Debra has dinner with Chief Matthews where she confronts him about being implicated in the dead call girl case. When Matthews is forced to retire, she realizes that LaGuerta has been manipulating her throughout the case. Dexter stages a fake Doomsday Killer tableau in order to draw out Travis, but is captured himself and becomes a part in the final tableau, the "Lake of Fire". Debra's therapist prompts her to consider whether she may actually be in love with her adopted brother.

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")
