"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Dex..."

When Doakes gets home, two more of Guerrero's guys are sitting in a car on the street, watching him. Doakes goes out there to confront them, but they take off in the car as Doakes says, "You want a piece of me? Asshole!" I feel like "you want a piece of me" is kind of trite wording, but I'd also expect that of Doakes, so fair enough, writers. Fair enough.

Over with Dexter, who's flipping through some more family photo albums while on the phone with Deb, who's offering a million dollars for clues to where the next body part is going to land. Dexter says he has no clue, and plus, "you don't have a million dollars." "I'll steal it from evidence. I've been stuck in a goddamn fishbowl all day. I wanna be part of the hunt! Look, I know you made a list of locations, just pick your favorite spot and we'll stake it out together!" This strikes something in Dexter, and he VOs, "My favorite spot, of course." He finds the right page in the album, and tells Deb he has to go. He's found a picture of his younger self at a landfill, standing next to a palm tree with a smiley face carved on the trunk.

After a small VO about how he used to find the tractor noise and compressed garbage "soothing," we see him standing at the tree the next morning, the landfill replaced with new structures. "But it wasn't condos back then. This has to be the right place. So what am I missing?" He begins looking around for clues, and under a nearby bush, he sees a head. Dexter slowly walks over to the bush, and it turns out to just be a sleeping bum. His phone rings, and it's dispatch. He's been called to the McCaffrey Pumpkin Patch. He knows exactly where it is.

And...it's flashback time! Obviously at the pumpkin patch just mentioned, teenaged Dex 'n' Deb are with Harry on the flatbed of a hay ride truck. Deb and Dexter start having a hay fight, which looks...itchy, honestly. Harry tells them to stop hacking around, and some older dude offers to take a picture of all three of them. As they lean in for the picture, Harry says, "It's great to see you having such a great time, Dex." "Are you kidding me? This hay's giving me a total allergy attack and we're just going around in circles on a pumpkin patch. I don't get it." They all smile, but Harry's is the forced one this time.
