Dexter Morgan (picture 1) is a Blood Splatter analysis working for the Miami Metro Police Department, however by night he lives a double life as a serial killer, killing criminals who have slipped through the justice system. In this episode, Dexter is helping his sister Debra with a case of a serial killer murdering prostitutes and leaving their bodies cut up in various places around Miami. Ever since Dexter was a child, he had never been normal, he started off from a young age killing small animals. Dexter's step-father, an ex-police officer, cannot control Dexter's psychotic tendencies, instead he tells him of all the guilty men who managed to escape prosecution and implies that if he must kill anyone, it should be them. Dexter claims to feel no emotions for anyone or anything and has a very reserved personality. In this episode, we meet James Doakes(picture 2), another member of the Miami Police Force sees Dexter as his minor and bosses him around, there could be a possible confrontation between these two characters as James sees Dexter as a freak and hints towards Dexter being a psychopath because of the way he refers to killings as art forms. Dexter tries to lead a normal life in order for him to fit in and not appear like a killer, he is a mastermind and plans everything perfectly so as not to get caught.

I would give this episode a 4/5 rating as it keeps the viewer in suspense and tries to make you sympathise with this killer. The plot engages the viewer and makes the show very exciting, it ends on a cliffhanger of the serial killer leaving Dexter a 'message' in his fridge. The use of flashbacks to Dexter's past from scenes of the present show how he has not changed and explain to us why he has the personality that he does.
