Quick recap

Nine months later, Lily Anne is born, and Dexter feels love for the first time. He decides to quit killing to be a good father. Deborah clashes with the FBI over Samantha Aldovar's disappearance, and the case leads to a Miami cannibal ring, with a nightclub called Fang and a suspect, Bobby Acosta. Brian, Dexter's brother, reappears and wins over the family, to Dexter's annoyance. Dexter ends up trapped in an abandoned amusement park by Alana's coven. Brian, who had been working for the cannibals, switches sides, shoots Alana and helps rescue Deborah and Chutsky. Chutsky breaks up with Deborah, who reveals she's pregnant. Dexter decides he can't stand by and goes after Acosta.
