Dexter has Hannah on the brain while Zach loses his. Is the brain surgeon back? Or maybe s/he never left.
As we head closer and closer to the series finale of Dexter, Dexter’s head isn’t in the game. It’s on thoughts of Hannah. As much as we like seeing Dexter (Michael C. Hall) with deep emotions, we want the killing machine who takes down the bad guys! Somehow, we think the end of this episode just may have fueled his fire. Fingers crossed.
Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) shows up at Cassie’s crime scene and isn’t concerned so much with the killer as the status of Hannah. Dexter says he’s on top of the situation, but all he can imagine is being on top of Hannah.

Quinn’s on the trail
Quinn noticed that Cassie’s killing is similar to Norma’s and asks Dexter if he thinks Zach could be involved. Dexter plays dumb and suggests Quinn stay out of the case.
He doesn’t listen and instead meets with Cassie’s boyfriend and shows him a picture of Zach. He doesn’t know Zach but says Zach looks familiar.

Dexter finds a drop of blood under Cassie’s nails. It’s a match to Zach. Dexter hides it from detectives, as usual, and tracks Zach down himself. He discovers credit card purchases at a hotel in the Keys and heads to track him down, intent on killing him. Dexter even makes a date out of it and invites Hannah along for the road trip.
After the trip, Dexter plans to get a new identity for Hannah and get her out of town. Hannah agrees it’s time.

Dexter confronts Zach. Zach doesn’t know Cassie and says he didn’t kill her. He says he went after a guy named Shawn Decker who killed a girl during spring break when Zach was in high school. Zach killed him and left him in the trunk of his car.
Dexter coaches Zach. Hannah stays to clean the room while Dexter and Zach go to dump the body.
Zach warns Dexter to be careful of the door handle. It cut Zach’s hand a few days ago. Dexter wonders if the cut is how Cassie’s killer got Zach’s DNA.
