Complete story — includes the ending

The Phantom Arsonist continues his spree across Miami. Hannah's estranged ex-con father Clint McKay (guest star Jim Beaver ) shows up unexpectedly, giving Hannah a childhood relic that only disturbs her. Clint asks for money for a crawfish business. Dexter and Hannah tell Clint no and Clint leaves in a rage. Clint returns later drunk, crashing his truck into Hannah's greenhouse. Dexter identifies the Phantom, but decides to hand him over to the department instead of killing him as Dexter promised to Debra. Discovering that George plans to send Nadia to a sex club in Dubai, Quinn confronts George at the Foxhole club. George holds Quinn and Nadia at gunpoint and begins punching Nadia in the face. Enraged, Quinn shoots and kills him, then has Nadia shoot him with George's gun to falsify a motive. Batista, outside the room of the shooting, knows that the timeline doesn't add up. Meanwhile, LaGuerta and Matthews discover another connection between Dexter and the Bay Harbor Butcher murders. Dexter kills Hannah's father after learning it was Clint who told Sal Price all of the details for his books on Hannah, and was using another secret to blackmail Dexter.
