Summary

 * “A Little Reflection”

Dexter is called to a bloody murder scene in the Liberty City neighborhood. Masuka welcomes him to “spatter-land” and hopes he brought extra string. Angel says the victim's boyfriend is in custody; a witness saw him taking off from the scene, and he forgot to change his bloody socks. Quinn laughs and blesses stupid killers.

Once again drawn to blood,  Zach is present with his camera. After the homicide team leaves, Dexter invites Zach to the "other side of the yellow tape" and allows him to take a few pictures of the scene.

Zach asks for details on how the woman was killed, assuring Dexter that he can “handle it.” Dexter says, “The victim tried to defend herself. There were defensive wounds on her body, but you can also tell by these big, round drops on the ground. And this multiple cast-off spatter suggests that she was stabbed several times. And the arterial spurting here indicates that the killer severed her carotid artery with the first stab.” Zach is impressed that Dexter can tell so much from the blood analysis.

Zach then asks how the guy was caught. Dexter tells him that he left a bloody print and DNA, plus was spotted driving away from the scene. Zach responds that the killer should have worn gloves and made sure he was covered up. Dexter thinks Zach is a quick study and is making notes for his next kill. He gives Zach his card and asks to be called after he prints out the photos.
