“Scar Tissue” · Season 8, Episode 4

In this episode: Dexter Morgan (2), Debra Morgan (2), Dr. Vogel (1)

LaGuerta. She was on her knees, where those blood stains are, isn't that right? She was your co-worker, your friend. Why didn't you just stay at the party and let Dexter take care of everything?

I had to stop him.

But Dexter can't help what he is. He has no conscience, unlike you. You knew the moment you pointed that gun at LaGuerta it was wrong, and still, you pulled the trigger. You shot a woman in cold blood! You let her bleed out and did nothing! You shot an innocent woman for simply doing her job!

Because of Dexter!

And that's what terrifies you the most. You so desperately want to believe that if you had just shot Dexter, then you wouldn't have to face the truth, that if you had to do it all over again you'd still choose him. Because in your heart, you know you'll always choose Dexter.

[quietly] How do I make it right?

By finally accepting that you're a good person who was forced to do a terrible thing. And that you made the best of an impossible situation. You can walk out that door. You can move forward. The choice is yours. It always has been.

The body forms scar tissue to close a wound. Has my sister begun to do the same? Eventually, scars fade. Who knows, with enough time, you may not even remember how you got them.

Did Dad kill himself?

Yeah. A few years back, Matthews told me the truth. Harry OD'd on his heart medication.

Was it because of you?

He thought he'd created a monster.

I think I know how he felt. Why he killed himself. But he only got it half right!

[Deb grabs the wheel and forces the car into a lake]
