As if to support my point, DVO wonders if Mos Def brought out some light in him, since he didn't kill Jonah when he had the chance, as if Dexter had killed everyone he ever came in contact with up to that point. Just as tenuously, he wonders if he passed the light on to Colin Hanks in some kind of Pay It Forward way, but he decides to investigate this latter point as he sneaks into Colin Hanks's office and intones that he did the right thing. Colin Hanks jumps up and says he knows who Dexter is, because he remembers his voice, as if he didn't see the undisguised Dexter in his rearview mirror the whole time, and Dexter, not exactly one to display any skepticism once he's come up with some cockamamie theory, asks him why he let Holly go. Whether it's because he believes it or that he senses that's what Dexter wants to hear, though, Colin Hanks tells Dexter it's true -- his words made him realize that he doesn't have to do what "he" says, and he told EJO he's done. Dexter inquires how EJO took the divorce, and Colin Hanks admits it wasn't great and EJO is still harassing him. Dexter, a crafty look on his face, wonders why Colin Hanks doesn't just go to the police, prompting Colin Hanks to sputter that he'd go to prison for his part in their crimes, and he's a good person and thought they were doing the right thing.

Look, I know we can't trust half of what we've seen this season, but -- and remember Dexter saw this as well -- after that waitress was gorily murdered and those locusts were released, Colin Hanks observed it all with an absolutely delighted look on his face, a look that could only come from the truest and most insane (I mean that word literally) believer. To me, it's not credible for Dexter to take what he's hearing now at face value. For the moment, however, I suppose that's irrelevant, as Dexter tells Colin Hanks that he'll forget his part in all this and will dispense with EJO for him. Colin Hanks, however, doesn't want to hear any of this and stomps off, and (a) I'm so glad they're having this conversation in a visible space where any casual observer could link them together, and (b) maybe Dexter should just tell Colin Hanks to give up the location or he'll go to the police? I mean, I've never been a serial killer with an agenda, but given how hard Colin Hanks clenched at the idea of prison you'd think it might be an effective strategy. However, after Dexter has been standing around alone in this office in which he doesn't work for a while, his phone rings...
