Dexter and Rita come back from their Paris honeymoon. Things with Deborah are still strained since she learned what her brother does. A display of corpses mocking Florida tourism turns up on the beach. Investigating a suspect, Alek Donkovic, Deborah gets stabbed and falls into a coma. Dexter kills Alek and learns he had a partner, Brandon Weiss, who filmed it all and sends Dexter the video. Weiss kidnaps Rita and puts her on display in an art show. In the fight, Rita knocks Weiss onto a saw blade, and he dies. Deborah recovers and decides not to turn her brother in. Rita tells him she's pregnant.
