Summary

 * “Truth Be Told”

Dexter has learned that his mother was murdered before his eyes. It makes sense to him that he chose a life where he searched for meaning in blood. With just a sole memory of her being covered in it, he needs to know more details.

As Dexter sits at a microfilm reader in the library, he thought, I was never one to dwell on my past, always content to leave it a mystery. No details -- just a blur of images rushing by. But my friend out there wants to bring those memories into focus. So do I.

"Library Aide: [to Dexter] “This is it for the Metro News for 1972 through 1973. The Tribune's archives... [voice trails off]”"

Dexter notices an article about a Shipping Yard Massacre that’s dated October 3, 1973, and thought, 10/3? 1-0-3 -- same as the hotel, same as Santa's Cottage. This is what he wanted me to find all along.

When Dexter pulls up a photo of his mother and the three others who were murdered at the shipping yard, he has a vivid memory of her saying, “Close your eyes. Don't look.” Laura Moser... my mother. No wonder I felt so disconnected my entire life. If I did have emotions, I'd have to feel... this.

Retcon - In “The Getway,” Debra Morgan reads a October 3, 1973 article about the massacre that says it happened the day before on October 2, 1973.
