...and we cut to him pulling a cloth off a well-appointed dollhouse. He explains that he found it in her aunt's garage and since she loved it so much as a kid, he had it repainted and restored. Hannah looks like she's seeing a ghost and since she continues not to speak, Clint tells her that he'll be on his way. He does tell her where he'll be staying, and after she acknowledges that, he shakes Dexter's hand, tells Hannah she looks good and happy (yeah, she just looks effing THRILLED) and takes off. When he's gone, Hannah finds her voice and tells Dexter that while Clint might have meant well, he couldn't have given her a worse gift, as when she was eight, he took her to a poker tournament (lying to her mother that they were going to a county fair) and left her in a motel by herself for three whole days; when he returned, he brought the dollhouse and a bunch of empty promises about how he was going to change his ways. Okay, that's not great, but I still think a worse present would have been the clothes in which you almost drowned. She wonders if maybe her father is trying and she should give him a chance, and Dexter noncommittally replies, "Maybe," and while it's generally a frustrating character trait, you can hardly blame him for not taking a stand in this case.

Whack-A-Phil is leading a briefing on the probable character traits of the PA; it's not going to lead anywhere so I'm going to skip the specifics, but Dexter of course uses it to convince himself further that Whack-A-Phil might be the PA, not exactly acknowledging that the qualities Whack-A-Phil lists fit Dexter like a glove, which is (probably unintentionally) hilarious. No one else has any good news to report, so Deb calls the meeting to an end, but Dexter sits in order to brood about how of course he has a Dark Passenger -- there's no other way to explain the compulsion he feels. I think I've expressed myself adequately on that point and I have Deb and now Hannah on my side, so let's move on. Speaking of Hannah, she sends Dexter a message that she's going to meet her father for coffee and then Masuka gets all nosy about who's sending Dexter mash texts...

...and even though Dexter hightails it away from him, as you might expect, Masuka chases him and keeps at him about the girl, and then Batista pipes up that it's Hannah. Dexter catches flies, but Batista is like, "Um, my sister still works for you. Of course I know that," and, awesomely for Dexter, Deb is witness to this whole exchange and asks Masuka and Batista what's so great about Dexter dating Hannah and they don't actually say out loud that they'd each give a testicle to hit that, but it's pretty clear. So Deb, infuriated, drags Dexter into her office...
