Q. When did we see it on the show?

A. In Episode 1, of Season 8, "A Beautiful Day".


In fact, you see it a lot in that episode.


We first see it when we witness Debra in Briggs' motel room, snorting Coke, having sex with Briggs, and generally spiraling out of control.


We see the room later, when a fence, "El Sapo", shows up and talks to Briggs about buying stolen goods.

But we don't see the exterior of the motel until Dexter arrives.  Dex has found out that "El Sapo" is a hit-man, not a fence, and that he intends to kill Briggs.  So Dex is there to get Debra out of harm's way.


But things don't work out that way.  Debra stubbornly refuses to leave, and when Briggs intervenes and goes for a knife, Dexter kills him.


Debra still refuses to leave, and instead calls the cops and reports that she just came back to the room and found him dead.


Meanwhile, Dexter manages to temporarily lose Harrison, whom he had in his car.  He quickly finds him safe, but manages to get Briggs' blood on Harrison's stuffed animal.


As Debra finally leaves the motel, we see that the hit-man, "El Sapo" is watching her.

A. A motel called "The Pink Motel".


(How's that for truth in adverting?)
