Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. In the episode, Dexter tracks Brother Sam's shooter, while Travis starts having second thoughts over his commitment to Gellar's mission.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.98 million household viewers and gained a 1.0 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticizing Dexter's storyline and lack of focus on the Doomsday Killer story arc, although some were intrigued by its ending.
