Unable to connect Hannah to Price's death and feeling frustrated, Debra asks Dexter to kill Hannah.

Goofs

Towards the end of the episode, when Hannah is telling Dexter that it was her husband that didn't want the baby, Dexter says "Did you kill him because he didn't want a family?" to which, Hannah says that it was "the opposite" and then goes on to say that "I wanted a family and he didn't" thus confirming what Dexter had said and therefore not "the opposite".
