I'm assuming that's what the point of the scene was as well, but has Harrison shown any previous inclinations to self-harm? I suppose cutting himself to support his story about the knife fight was one, but that was more about supporting his version of events than masochism, or so I thought. I felt it was contrived and unconvincing - why would Kurt, who was trying to appear as a benevolent father figure, keep loading up the machine for him? It just came across to me as poorly conceived and unbelievable.
Although I suppose expecting Dexter to be believable is where I have gone wrong to start with. But it would be a bonus if there was a minimum of internal consistency.
