Summary

 * “Circle of Friends”

When Jeremy Downs kills Jason Riech, Dexter goes looking for him. At the Halfway House where Jeremy lives, Dexter approaches a teen boy sitting outside on a bench playing a guitar. Noticing Dexter, he speaks to him.

"Metalhead: “Hey, dude, the bowling alley’s around the corner.” Dexter: “Hey, I’m looking for Jeremy Downs.” Metalhead: “Jeremy?” He sing-songs: “He vacated the premises!” Dexter: (snaps his fingers) “Focus. I’m trying to find Jeremy.” Metalhead: “Oh, I get it. Look, man. I’m not really into that homo shit, but I’m kind of short on money for weed, so I guess I’ll do it for less than Jeremy’s charging. Wait. What does Jeremy charge?” Dexter: “Jeremy’s selling himself?” Metalhead: “I mean, he’s always hanging out with the Brokeback Boys down at Flamingo Park. Comes back with fistfuls of cash.”"

Dexter’s cell phone rings and he’s called to the crime scene at Neil Perry’s mobile home.
