Plot
Edit
...Need to be rewritten...
Dexter has always known his father's Code was meant to protect him from exposure. But after committing a serious mistake, he wonders if it could have been designed to protect him from something even more dangerous - human emotion. When he discovers that Trinity is planning an out-of-town trip, Dexter sees an opportunity to ride along and gain insight into the mind of a fellow monster. Even so, Dexter isn't prepared for the startling revelations Trinity makes along the way, revelations about his own past which only serve to convince Dexter of what he must do. Meanwhile, back at Miami Metro, Debra refuses to let a technicality keep her off the Trinity case. She works through others to ensure her voice is heard - that is, until she realizes that her single-minded pursuit of the Trinity Killer may have blinded her to the truth.

| Quotes |
| "Born in blood, both of us." - Dexter, think about himself and Trinity "Guilt, remorse, it’s what separate us from the animals. Your conscience is eating away at you but you’re gonna feel better. Confession is good for the soul." - Arthur ,to Dexter. "All the more proof I don’t have a soul." - Dexter, think to himself about what Arthur said. “I killed an innocent man and saved a guilty one. I won’t make that mistake again" - Dexter, to himself. "It should have been Arthur Mitchell on my table. Trinity, shooter of my sister. I should have… No, no should haves – that’s not me. I just need to stop thinking about it." - Dexter, to himseld about killing a innocent people. A changed man at peace with himself. Maybe only monsters feel no regret. If erring is human, than remorse must be too. Wait – does that make me human? Huh! - - Dexter, to himself. "This is his solution to remorse – suicide. That’s why he could unburden himself. He knew this was next. Will it be my only solution someday?" - Dexter, to himself about Arthur's suicide. |
