Complete story — includes the ending

The Koshka Brotherhood hires two hitmen to find and kill Isaak. Isaak asks for Dexter's help but Dexter declines. Desperate, Isaak kidnaps Hannah and has her held in an unknown location in order to enlist Dexter's help to protect him. Dexter agrees. Isaak promises Dexter that will give up trying to kill him in exchange for Dexter's help in killing both hitmen. Meanwhile, Batista and the rest of Miami Metro deal with a series of arson/murders with an unknown perpetrator nicknamed the Phantom Arsonist. LaGuerta enlists the help of ex-Deputy Chief Matthews in her new Bay Harbor Butcher investigation. Quinn shows up at the Foxhole and confronts George Novikov ( Jason Gedrick ). Quinn beats George in a rage before leaving the Foxhole with Nadia. Dexter and Isaak work together and kill both hit men. After Isaak and Dexter come to an understanding about Viktor's death, Isaak is shot by George Novikov, the manager of the Foxhole. Hannah is held in captivity by Isaak's bodyguard Jurg and attempts to escape. In the ensuing struggle, she succeeds in killing Jurg by bludgeoning him to death with a lamp, but not before he stabs her in the abdomen. Debra manages to find an injured and unconscious Hannah after a tip from Dexter and has her taken to a hospital. Dexter takes the injured Isaak out to sea, to the same spot he dumped Viktor's body. The two discuss their own similarities and their love for their respective love interests before Isaak dies. Dexter visits Hannah in the hospital and confesses that he fears losing her.
