Dexter's freezer opens from the opposite side than before.
The water bottle that Dexter hands Doakes that he explains has the sedative in still has the seal intact. You can hear Doakes click it open. However, Dexter could easily have injected the sedative through the plastic using a small needle and a barely visible hole, which Doakes would not have seen (or looked for) in his desperation for a drink.
Dexter plans to frame Doakes with a "tool" kit that has his fingerprints on it. As he prepares to kick the "tool" kit into the water, he looks around and ensures he is alone. He kicks the kit off into the water and turns around to leave. As he is walking from the dock the camera shoots over his shoulder to the end of the dock and there is a kayaker there no more that 10 yards from the end of the dock. There is no way Dexter would have done what he did if there was someone right there close to him.
Speculating on what might have happened under different circumstances does not make a Goof.

(00:09:52) As Dexter puts ice cubes in his cold coffee, the sound is of ice cubes rattling into an empty take-out cup instead of a splashing sound.
Dexter's plan to frame Doakes for his murders without killing Doakes is too risky for Dexter's "code". Dexter can manufacture all the evidence he wants but Doakes is bound to have unimpeachable alibis at least for some of the dozens of murders in question. If Dexter actually released Doakes, these would serve to reinforce Doakes' allegations against Dexter.
Allegations absent proof or evidence lose to skilfully manufactured evidence. Having alibis for some of the cases will not prevent him from being convicted of the murders he would be charged with.
