 * “An Inconvenient Lie”

The homicide department is overwhelmed by people trying to get information about missing loved ones after the unidentified bodies are found in the ocean. The detectives blame Lt. Esmee Pascal since she is in charge.

"LaGuerta: “It’s not her fault. That reporter's an asshole.” [dials telephone] “Sergeant? Yeah, hold the rest of them downstairs. We're out of room here.”"

The team, including Maria LaGuerta, Vince Masuka, Dexter Morgan, Angel Batista, and Debra Morgan, watch Pascal on TV as she fumbles through a on-the-spot interview with a reporter.

"Reporter: “Excuse me, Lieutenant?” Pascal: “No comment.” Reporter: “We have reports there were dozens of bodies found in that underwater grave site.” Pascal: “Not dozens.” Reporter: “One dozen? Two dozens?” Pascal: “Eighteen or so.” Reporter: “Excuse me. Have the families been notified?” Pascal: “We're still trying to identify them.” Reporter: “If viewers have information, they should contact you?” Pascal: “Yes. Fine.” Reporter: “So, there you have it. Police are seeking any leads that can help them identify the eighteen faceless victims of the Bay Harbor Butcher. If you have any information, please contact…”"

Batista tells the team that Pascal is definitely off her game. Masuka adds that her fiancé is supposedly catching some “strange on the sly.”
