Despite Harry's pleas that Dexter is breaking the code's number-one rule (don't get caught), he spent more of this episode trying to get the woman who saw him kill Boyd to trust him.

Dexter learns that her name is Lumen Pierce and she ran away from home. While she remains locked up in the former tourist center, he tracks down luggage from a local hotel where she had been staying and brings it to her, along with antibiotics. But Lumen, whose back is covered by scars and fresh wounds and who has a fever, fakes a suicide at one point and cracks Dexter over the head. She runs out of the building.

After running her down, Dexter ties her up and takes Lumen to the swamp with all the dead bodies. He says he saved her life because she'd have been next. He also tells her about Rita's death and how he's sick of innocent people getting killed. This gets Lumen to trust Dexter, but she won't return home as he asks because she says Boyd isn't the only person that abused her. There are many others and it isn't over.
