In a parking lot, Deb watches Ramon beat up a guy and stick him in his trunk. He does it very efficiently too. It's like smack on the back, on the legs, in the trunk. One, two, three. She follows him to a warehouse. Ramon is questioning him. Quinn arrives and scares Deb. The guy Ramon is questioning is Felipe Cepide, a drug supplier for Freebo. She's waiting for the skinning to start before she stops anything. Felipe doesn't have answers for Ramon, so he shakes up a soda and shoots it up Felipe's nose. OUCH. Quinn tries to walk in, but Deb stops him. Finally, Ramon grabs a knife. He... cuts Felipe loose and sets him free. Deb says he's not the skinner, clearly.
Dex has his killing room set up. Galt is very pale. Saran Wrap is definitely his color. Deb calls Dex and he answers. She says that Ramon isn't the Skinner, and she'll talk about it to him at breakfast. Angel and Maria join Quinn and Deb. They called them there to tell them that they've detained Ramon for kidnapping, false imprisonment, and torture. Poor Maria. She's in a bad place. She thanks them for being politic. So, we've got "agita," "unexpurgated," and "politic." Big word week, right? Quinn says he would have perp-walked him through the station, but Deb insisted they be discreet out of respect for the family. I almost trust him even less when he's openly kiss-ass like that. Angel tells Maria that he knew about the investigation, but wanted something solid before involving her. She thanks him. She tells Deb she handled the difficult situation in the right way. They'll book him and she'll notify the family. Deb and Quinn get into the elevator, as Quinn is telling her everything went well. Inside, she tells him that IA is investigating him. He stops the elevator. She says they've been giving her a "sandpaper enema" to wear a wire. This has been going on for a while? "And you're finally telling me?" Deb's not backing down. "Yeah, do you want to tell me why this IA chick is trying to bring you down?" He asks if her name is Yuki. We have a winner. They have a personal history and it's a vendetta. He'll handle this, but thanks her for the heads up. Who thinks Yuki shows up skinned next week? Or, maybe she's The Skinner? I'd definitely do a check on her before I talked to her. Maybe she's just some girl who works in the neighborhood.
