"You don't miss a thing," Dexter says to Deb. And boy is he right.
Dexter's biggest problem in this episode are The DVDs that Miami Metro finds of the rape victims. Besides providing the backdrop for a disturbing episode, The DVDs start a chain reaction that threatens Dexter and Lumen's cover. Deb figures out everything short of Lumen's connection to this web of torute. She figures out that Cole is working with a group of men who are slowly disappearing at the hands of someone who knows what they're up to. A "vigilante," Dexter calls it.
Dexter and Lumen set their sights on Emily Birch, presumably Jordan and Co.'s first and longest victim. Emily Birch is small and blonde, and has prison bars on her doors and windows. Though she's a great liar (not), she denies knowing teenage Jordan or any of the rapists. Lumen eventually persuades Emily to tell her what happened to her at camp two decades ago. Turns out, she befriended Jordan a.k.a. Eugene Greer (whaaat?) at camp, and she felt bad for him. Then she passed out one day at camp and was subsequently raped by Jordan/Eugene's friends. The thing is, though, Eugene never touched Emily, he just persuaded his friends to do it, and then took satisfaction in the fact that they had. Oh, and then the boys made her take their picture. Plus, the fifth guy in the photo is Alex Tilden. But more on him later.
