She also was obsessed with the perfect life she thought they'd have in Argentina, and was convinced that Randall was the only one who could give her these things she desperately desired, "that he was gonna fill the emptiness I felt inside." It's not often you hear two serial killers discuss their existential crises. She admits that at that age, she didn't care if Randall was the bad guy, or even if he killed people. "I didn't even care if I ended up in juvie. Not until later, anyway." She adds that it was worth it to hold onto the fantasy, but when Dexter asks if she still feels that way, her face falls and she comes out of the reverie, saying now she does whatever's necessary to make sure she doesn't lose herself like that again. "But I do still wish I had gotten to see the snow." Dexter points out that he's not Randall, and isn't going to land her in jail (excuse me for a moment; HA HA HA), but though Hannah still thinks it's a bad idea, she finally acquiesces. And my take-away from this scene, as I mentioned in the recaplet, is that Hannah killed her husband and her mentor because she felt too emotionally attached to them, so Dexter really is flirting with danger here...
...and speaking of people in danger, Quinn leaves what sounds like about the fiftieth message of the past day for Nadia, saying that he stopped by the club and she wasn't there and urgently asking her to call him back. Batista then wanders up asking if Quinn thinks he's impulsive, and Quinn can barely choke out a reply, not that Batista notices, as he babbles about retiring and whatever, and then Masuka spills the beans to Deb about that after Quinn has hightailed it away from these idiots. Deb asks Masuka to give them a minute, and beyond Deb's betrayal of Batista last week, it's well established that she's always looked up to him, so it's no surprise that the news he might be leaving hits her hard. Deb's voice breaks as she explicitly asks if this is about Anderson, but Batista tells her, essentially, that he has no life, and even though it may sound crazy, the idea of buying this restaurant makes him happy. No stranger to not having a life, Deb is mollified by this explanation, and takes his hand and tells him it doesn't sound crazy at all. She probably hasn't seen many statistics on the failure rate of restaurants under new management, but I suppose he'll still have a job here when it happens...
