...and fade to the morning, where the angel is now covered with a blood-like substance, the numerical mark of the Devil written on her forehead and EJO's hand nailed into her chest. I'm no expert on religion, Dexter, but that one's going to get you in trouble upstairs. The St. Paul Metro team is on hand, and DVO gloats that the hand will decompose quickly now that it's in the sun. I know it's been on ice, but still, is the medical team not going to be able to judge nearly how old the hand is? Even if they don't know it's three years old, even a few months would be enough to signal that they've been going about this all wrong. Regardless, when Masuka descends the ladder with the news that the hand belongs to EJO (he can do a DNA test on the fly, apparently), everyone blames Colin Hanks, which I suppose is reasonable given that they also think he killed Doomsday_Adam, and Batista supposes that Colin Hanks is so crazy that he's gone off book as far as the tableaus go. Deb suggests they try to turn up the rest of EJO's body, and DVO smugly says that's not likely, as he left EJO in pieces in the swamp. Seriously, the way Dexter gloats at his constant impeding of his co-workers' job is not a particularly attractive quality. Dexter sees the press and some gawkers gathering, and DVO says now all Colin Hanks needs to know is where to go...

...and then Colin Hanks's painting is interrupted by, once again, the TV, but the part that's great is where the reporter cautions the viewer that the images are very graphic with the bloody angel in the background. Gotta love the local news. Colin Hanks is all "No. NO!" about Dexter's tableau when, if you think about it, it affects him not one bit, but then Colin Hanks gets a video message from Dexter intoning for the Witness to mark this day, as the end is not upon the world but upon him. In the background, you can see the Slice Of Life, name clearly visible, of which Colin Hanks duly takes note. He then looks at the painting of Satan, and, as very dramatic music plays, he hops on the ladder and gets to work, and when he's done, we see he's put Dexter's visage atop Satan's body. And the music can tell me this is creepy and disturbing all it wants -- I can't hear it anyway over my own laughter. HA HA HA HA HA! The Dexmaster! The Prince Of Dexness! Hilarious.

Deb returns to her office to find Matthews, who bitterly chews her out -- the Chief found out about the call girl, and he's being asked to retire. Deb points out that she was at a crime scene all day, but Matthews blames her anyway for refusing to drop the case, and adds that her father would be so disappointed in her. Well, why not ask him? Based on his appearances, he isn't exactly busy. Deb, however, is not so fragile as she used to be, recent firings of her therapist notwithstanding, and replies, "So would your late wife." Face! She may be in love with her brother, Matthews, but that didn't stop her from schooling you. However, Matthews has the last word, saying that he was the only person who "could protect her from a job that you're clearly not ready for," and that's gonna leave a mark, given how obviously Deb believes it too. Seconds after he's gone, Quinn and Batista enter in response to Deb's earlier summons, and she informs them that Homeland Security has concluded that the Doomsday_Adam and Beth weren't terrorists, so while they want to be kept in the loop, Duluth Metro is free to take the DDK case back. Batista thinks that's good news, but Deb isn't done as she lays into both of them for what happened at Doomsday_Adam's apartment, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Batista going in alone was inexcusable. Quinn takes the blame, but while Deb's aware of that, thanks, her point is that they have two days before Colin Hanks is supposed to end the world, so she needs them not to fuck things up again. What are the chances?
