Warning: Spoilers
After disposing of Nick, the man that killed Brother Sam, Dexter is being followed by the ghost of his brother Brian. There are bad news at the station. Deb informs him the Trinity Killer has struck again, killing his wife and daughter. Urged by Brian to go to Kearney, Nebraska to investigate, Dexter decides to take a few days to do just that.

Back at the station, Deb, having agreed to let her brother go, is pressed from all angles to get a grip on what is going on with the Book of Revelations murders. Maria LaGuerta is critical of the way Deb is handling the situation and lets her know.

Dexter makes a stop at a convenience store to get some supplies. He notices a gun behind the counter. He seduces the girl at the cash register and steals the gun, which he might need later on. Finding a motel is easy, but the creep at the front desk looks to be a shady character. Going out to dinner, Dexter makes a detour through a corn field where he finds marijuana plants, obviously the desk clerk's doing.

Finding Jonah is easy. He explains about the deaths in his family, but something is troubling Dexter. As he goes back to the motel, he realizes the front desk man, Louis Greene, stole his equipment, which include the knives and the chemicals needed to detect blood. He goes to Jonah's and detects blood in unexpected places. He figures Jonah has to be the killer.

Back in Miami, Travis has a change of heart. He visits his sister and the atmosphere at her house makes him feel good. Unfortunately, Gellar comes for him, but he does not follow his former leader. At the hospital the kidnapped woman that Travis released tells the police a lot about what she experienced while being held captive.

Dexter does not expect to find Louis Greene, the motel guy, at the shed where he believes the stolen tools are hidden. Greene wants ten thousand dollars for the equipment he stole. Brian, who is behind Dexter pushes him to use a pitchfork and kills Greene. Dexter goes after Jonah, but he realizes the young man is not lying when he tells him the sister committed suicide. Dexter decides to go back.

Deb and Quinn share an intimate moment when he comes to apologize for the mess he created at her house warming party. Unfortunately, it is too late now.

A good episode this week. Romeo Tirone directed the screenplay Wendy West wrote for this chapter. The action goes out of Miami as Dexter travels to the heart of the country trying to make sense of a killing that was not so. Good ensemble acting as always.
