 It's begun! The sixth season finds America's favorite serial killer with a new lease on life... and death. Dexter's Dark Passenger is alive and well as he manages to stay in the shadows, do his job and be a single father. With Trinity in his rearview mirror, life becomes a bit more complicated for Dexter as he discovers religion in more ways than one. An outbreak of gruesome killings based on the Book of Revelations and the emergence of the Doomsday Killer puts Dexter and Miami Homicide on the hunt for a new beast of biblical proportions. Can Dexter catch him before the Apocalypse? Or is this holy beast too much even for him? The critically acclaimed original series from Showtime is back with all 12 jaw-dropping episodes. Storyline: Meet Dexter Morgan. By day he's a blood spatter pattern expert for the Miami Metro police department. But by night - he takes on an entirely different persona: serial killer. But Dexter isn't your average serial killer as he only kills people who fit a very prolific and precise "moral code" taught to him by his late father Harry (he didn't kill Harry, honest), and developed very thoroughly throughout each kill. While dealing with his daily activities and his boss, Sgt. Doakes, the one man who may or may not know the truth about his after-hours activities, he is given a friendly message by a guy referred to only as "The Ice Truck Killer" - a crime scene where there is no blood. This shocking discovery turns Dexter's world completely upside down. The Ice Truck Killer wants Dexter to play his game and Dexter is very eager to take on this cat-and-mouse chase throughout Miami.

Debra begins to realize she relies too much on her brother after reacting to a crime scene. 6.11 Talk to the Hand * - Debra has a confrontation with Matthews about the case of a dead call girl. She decides not to implicate Matthews, but takes the blame for doing so anyway when she learns that LaGuerta has been using the situation to her advantage, resulting in Matthews' forced retirement. The widow of Doomsday Adam, whom Travis recruited, is charged with the task of unleashing Wormwood in the Miami Metro squadroom, and almost succeeds until Dexter sees her press a small switch and quickly traps her in an interrogation room. The gas kills her while everyone else evacuates safely. Dexter inhales a small amount of it and needs to be treated by paramedics, who warn him of aftereffects like bloody noses and dizziness. Debra's therapist prompts her to consider whether she may actually be in love with her adopted brother. Dexter stages a fake Doomsday Killer tableau in order to draw out Travis, but when he shows up, Dexter experiences a sudden wave of dizziness and is captured.

Batista informs Quinn that he has put in for a transfer for Quinn due to his increasing irresponsibility, to which Quinn objects and storms out. Louis asks Masuka if he can have a full-time position at Metro once his internship ends. When Masuka asks him, "What about your video game?" Louis replies that it "just doesn't seem important anymore" while looking past Masuka at Dexter. Deb tells Dexter he must return to the abandoned church to wrap up forensics. Travis sees that the police have found his hideout, so he retreats to Dexter's apartment. Travis hears Jamie in the home with Harrison. Realizing that Harrison is Dexter's son, Travis decides to use Harrison as his sacrificial lamb in his final act to bring about the end of the world. Debra dispatches officers to skyscrapers in downtown Miami on a hunch that this is where the final tableau will be executed. Dexter attends Harrison's Noah's Ark play, after which Harrison is abducted by Travis. Dexter knows which skyscraper Travis has chosen, and arrives moments before Travis can sacrifice Harrison.

Homicide arrives after the officer on guard fails to respond via radio and they find him dead with no sign of Travis.
