At the courthouse, Hannah is led in by some Sheriff Department non-speaking extra when she sees Deb and sardonically asks what she's doing there. Deb, matching her tone, reminds her she was the arresting officer; they trade barbs for a bit, but then Hannah laughs that with all the Xanax she's taking, Deb must have trouble sleeping at night. Catching the snap, Deb grits that Hannah doesn't know anything about her, but Hannah positively grins as she says that Deb's the Lieutenant of Homicide, but knows exactly what Dexter is, and while she's not going to give them up, "knowing that you have to live with it is punishment enough. Still, I'm curious -- how do you justify arresting me and not him?" Deb tries to tell Hannah that she's a liar and a killer, but Hannah won this exchange long before the coup de grace: "But not a hypocrite." However you parse it, Hannah certainly never claimed the moral rectitude that Deb always has, pretty much, so it's no surprise that Deb doesn't have a comeback. Hannah's led away...

...and then we cut to the arraignment, the conclusion of which is that bail is unsurprisingly denied. But then Schram stands up and gets all "Oh no, Hannah!" and the two of them embrace -- but not without Schram slipping something into Hannah's hand. Hannah sincerely thanks her for whatever she just did, and then, under cover of putting her hands to her mouth in a gesture of horror and despair, ingests what I can only assume is a pill Schram just gave her. Based on general principles, Schram, I'd wash your fingers at least three times before you put them in your mouth.

Batista comes in to see LaGuerta and tells her that she needs to show up to his New Year's Eve/retirement party to mend fences, and that it wouldn't feel right without her there. And I'm trying not to allude to the end of the episode, but boy, is he more right than he knows. LaGuerta is touched by his concern and promises to be there, and when he's gone, takes a look at what just could be a fateful package in her hands.
