Complete story — includes the ending
Vogel tries to reconcile Dexter and Debra's differences in therapy, but Dexter walks out. Miami Metro PD steps up its investigation of Norma Rivera's murder; they target her millionaire boss, Ed Hamilton, with whom she was having an affair. Matthews pressures Quinn to overlook Hamilton. After they visit Hamilton he provides an alibi but they find a witness who saw the son, Zach, near the scene. Dexter suspects Zach is the real killer after the witness later recants, likely paid off by the family. Police investigate Yates' home and find his underground lair and multiple graves on the property. Yates broke each victim's toes, one week at a time, before finally murdering them. Masuka asks Debra to do a background check on Niki, who claims to be his daughter. Yates abducts Vogel; Dexter and Debra reconcile as they work together to find her. Vogel manages to call Dexter, and Deb traces the location. Dexter kills Yates, and brings Debra and Vogel along as he dumps the body, explaining that he considers them family, seeing Vogel as a mother figure.
