A Little Reflection
"A Little Reflection" is the sixth episode of the eighth season of the American crime drama television series Dexter. It is the 90th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Jace Richdale, and directed by John Dahl. It originally aired on Showtime on August 4, 2013.
Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan, a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. In the episode, Dexter begins to follow Zach, while Debra helps Elway with a special assignment.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.21 million household viewers and gained a 1.1 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics; while critics expressed surprise with the ending, the main storylines received mixed reactions.
Dexter (Michael C. Hall) suspects Zach (Sam Underwood) might be involved in Norma Rivera's murder, but he still lacks evidence to back it up. He later finds that Vogel (Charlotte Rampling) has taken Zach as a patient, after Ed (John D'Aquino) express concern over his son's behavior. Vogel does not plan to divulge information about Zach, and wants Dexter to stay out of it.
After providing information to Masuka (C. S. Lee) about Niki (Dora Madison Burge), Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) is asked by Elway (Sean Patrick Flanery) to investigate his sister's boyfriend, Kevin Wyman (David Chisum), whom he suspects is unfaithful. When there is a lack of progress, Debra decides to change clothing so she can seduce Kevin herself. Kevin falls for the trick and tries to kiss her, until Elway punches him and orders him to call off his relationship with his sister, threatening to send her a video of their encounter. Elway's sister breaks up with Kevin, but Elway feels guilty when he believes he is to blame.
When Zach shows up at another crime to photograph, Dexter invites him to check the body, which fascinates Zach. Zach invites Dexter to his studio, which is filled with photos with a blood theme. Matthews (Geoff Pierson) wants Angel (David Zayas) to finally decide who will become Sergeant; Matthews wants Angie Miller (Dana L. Wilson) for her high-level work, while Angel believes Quinn (Desmond Harrington) can be useful in the streets. Under pressure, Angel tells Quinn that he chose Miller, angering Quinn, who feels he wasted his time. Not having to follow Matthews' instructions anymore, Quinn decides to follow Zach, and Dexter offers himself to accompany him so he can check on him. Later, Dexter sneaks into the studio to find a picture of a woman Zach was stalking, and discovers photos of Zach at Norma's crime scene with a weapon, finally realizing he killed her.
Dexter brings the evidence to Vogel, but discovers that Zach confessed to the murder on his first session with Vogel. She does not plan to give him to the police, and is also considering teaching him the Code of Harry. Dexter leaves to join Jamie (Aimee Garcia) at her birthday party. He sees that Cassie (Bethany Joy Lenz) is now hanging out with a man, Oliver Saxon (Darri Ingólfsson). Dexter later stalks Zach, who is following the woman to a yacht club. Ed suddenly is seen kissing her, and Dexter realizes that Zach is actually going after his father. Before he can confront him, he sedates Zach, avoiding Quinn in the process. He takes him to his kill table, where Zach confesses that Ed's affairs have caused his mother's health to deteriorate and hoped that killing him would stop it. He also confesses that he feels drawn to murder, intriguing Dexter. He sets him free, planning to teach him the Code of Harry. While eating with Debra at her house, Dexter discovers that their drinks have been drugged. As they begin to lose consciousness, Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) enters the room.
The episode was written by executive producer Jace Richdale, and directed by John Dahl. This was Richdale's fifth writing credit, and Dahl's 15th directing credit.
