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.
