She tells him what LaGuerta found, and he winces at his carelessness and admits that that is not a positive development. They bicker a bit about the circumstances that led to the wayward bit of evidence before Deb tells him she talked LaGuerta into letting her help with the investigation so she can keep tabs on it. Dexter, not thrilled that Deb is being pulled deeper in, tells her to stay out of it, but she's not fucking around, especially since, as it turns out, LaGuerta hasn't been either. You see, she's pulled the profiles of fifteen people who have gone missing since Doakes died and fit the MO of the BHB, and as such intends to talk to their families, and Dexter is forced to admit that he's responsible for three of them. Gotta give LaGuerta credit -- she's Captain now and is still working on those unsolved-crime numbers!

Deb notes that only one of Dexter's three has any family in Miami -- a "Philip Barnes" -- so she'll try to take that one from LaGuerta. Dexter tries to protest again, but Deb firmly informs him that her ass is on the line now too, so he can stuff his concern. She asks what he can tell her about Barnes, and Dexter reluctantly tells her Barnes was a wedding photographer, and he'd find a young female from out of town and bring her back to his hotel room. "She'd never come home. He took pictures of what he did." Deb doesn't look particularly enamored of that MO, but flips out when she hears that Dexter "nabbed" him after a wedding reception: "What if Barnes got a picture of you? What if someone remembers you?" Dexter thinks no one was paying attention, but Deb, almost relishing the idea that Dexter's been sloppier than he thinks, wonders what happens if he's wrong. Well, given that we're only twelve minutes in, I have the feeling we might find out.

But first, Dexter arrives at his door and realizes that his curtains are open, which is not how he left them. Frankly, this is a bothersome detail -- why would Isaak Pullo leave this clue, and why on earth would he want the curtains open? If Dexter had left them open and they were now closed, I'd be willing to accept it -- there's a reason why he'd want concealment. Oh, yes, that's right -- Isaak Pullo is sitting patiently in Dexter's apartment, with an array of items you'd find in any hardware store that somehow look rather more sinister than normal when laid out on a little tarp in front of him. He also has a large gun with silencer, so I guess he's keeping his options open. The phone rings, and Dexter's answering machine takes it (I would like to know in what year this will officially be abandoned as a TV device), and we hear Dexter's voice in a sunny, dim accent "confirming" a meeting at 1 PM at "Schooner or Later" (in a seaside community, I would lay odds that restaurant actually exists). Isaak Pullo checks his watch, holsters his gun, and begins packing up his tools...
