When Niki asks Dexter what he uses his boat for, he starts to mumble, then awkwardly tells her he just likes to take it out at night. A seasoned liar and murderer, Dexter does not need to rack his brain and quickly come up with such a poor, suspicious excuse. His type of boat is specifically designed for fishing. Dexter's boat has fishing equipment mounted and Dexter has been shown to use it for fishing several times before.
Nobody is suspicious about anything and he is not making an excuse. Far from it, he is being a believably awkward, tongue-tied man set up on a date by his nanny. He makes reference to that at 16:30, when his inner monologue says: "Dating is harder than I remember".

Dexter calls Sofia's place of employment and without so much as giving even a fake name, asks if she was working that night. It is not plausible that an employer would just tell that to some rando on the phone, let alone tell him immediately without any kind of questions asked.
Why ever not? He has a pleasant voice and asked politely. The phone call might have been for Sofia.

Jamie informs Dexter that the broken TV remote was found under Harrison's bed. When Dexter goes to read Harrison a bedtime story, he tells Harrison that Jamie found the remote under his bed. Harrison has a captain's bed, so the only way this would make sense is if the bed had drawers, and the remote were found inside one of the drawers, which would then be "under" his bed.
There really are drawers under the bed. For the remote to be found under Harrison's bed, it had to be inside a drawer.

Zack Hamilton takes photos at the crime scene with a Canon EOS digital camera (visible by the display on the back), but the shutter sound is one from an older, conventional camera with a motor transport.
Many digital cameras, such as phone cameras, have that sound effect as an option.

Attacking his covert surveillance target by hitting him in the face in public is a completely implausible lack of professionalism for Elway.
It is not plausible that Dexter should be able to just lock-pick his way into a super rich family's mansion. They have burglar alarms, security guards and live in gated communities.
As a crime scene technician familiar with alarms, guards and gates, it is implausible that Dexter would not know how to bypass any such obstacles.

As usual, Debra's hair switches back and forth from behind her ear to not.
"As usual" means usually. Something that usually happens can not be a Continuity Error.

Hiding a supposedly secret recording device beneath a covert undercover operative's clothing while standing in plain sight on the surveillance location is an implausible beginner's mistake for Deb and Elway to make, both of whom have police officer training and years of experience in the field.
They were not "in plain sight". They were backed into an alcove, out of sight of casual observation. Also, they were not concerned about casual observation. They were interested in only one subject and he wasn't there yet.
