Dexter: New Blood / int_1263f698 | comment |
Main Character Final Boss: Dexter is the villain protagonist of both Dexter and its sequel series, New Blood. New Blood ends with Dexter as the final boss, and he is killed by his son Harrison after murdering Logan to escape justice for his crimes. However, Dexter allowed this to happen so that his son could live a life free of Dexter's crimes; it's also implied that he would eventually be revealed as the Bay Harbor Butcher. | |

Dexter: New Blood / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: When Dexter finds out his son nearly OD'd on drugs, he becomes so enraged that he decides to murder the supplier. He tries to murder the dealer first, but the cops arrive right at that moment, so he improvises and makes it seem like an ordinary concerned dad beating up the guy as a threat. Ultimately, this is a deconstruction as his desire for vengeance results in Angela getting enough evidence to deduce that he is the Bay Harbor Butcher. | |

When (planted) evidence pointed to his son skipping town, he was able to convince the townspeople to continue searching the town mainly by bringing up times he helped them. | |

Dexter: New Blood / int_2260cfe3 | comment |
Like Father, Like Son: Initially, it seems Harrison carries a Dark Passenger born from witnessing the death of his mother, just like Dexter... But this is averted in the end, as Harrison himself explains he doesn't have the same murderous urges, but is instead understandably struggling to cope with immense anger as a result of the suffering he endured due to Dexter's abandonment of him. Harrison is a consummate liar and manipulator, just like dear old dad. They even eat in similar ways and have a tendency to speak in a droning timber. | |

Matt Caldwell from his first moment on screen makes it clear that he's going to become Dexter's first victim in nearly a decade. He's rude, obnoxious, and has a serious case of Screw the Rules, I Have Money!; this is all in the first five minutes of meeting him and before we learn he's gotten away with the deaths of five people thanks to bribery and perjury. | |

Plot Armor | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_2a44899 | comment |
Plot Armor: Inverted. In the original series, Dexter had the Plot Armor protagonists usually enjoy, but in the sequel fate essentially conspires against him, most extremely with Angela's unlikely meeting with one of Dexter's former Miami colleagues, but in other ways as well. This leads to, as one would guess, a Downer Ending from the point of view of Dexter. A clever serial killer with Plot Armor can avoid detection, and might have some chance with no Plot Armor, but with inverse Plot Armor he's going to be caught. | |

Missing Child: The recurring theme of the second episode Storm of Fuck is parents fearing for the safety of their children. Angela is an Overprotective Mom for her daughter Audrey especially as she regularly sees girls from the Seneca Reservation go missing. Kurt Caldwell learns his son is missing and is desperate to find him believing Matt is still alive unaware his son's already dead. Finally Dexter reveals that one of the reasons for faking his death and leaving Harrison with Hannah was because Dex feared passing on his murderous urges onto his son...only to learn that Hannah died and Harrison was left to the horrors of the foster care system. | |

Hollywood Law: Even if Angela could prove Dexter killed Matt and Jasper, it does not prove he killed anyone in Florida, so in reality, he could not be extradited. As Dexter left behind no physical evidence in Florida that he was the Bay Harbor Butcher, it's unlikely Laguerta's fIle contains anything definitive. | |

Disposing of a Body | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_33987735 | comment |
Disposing of a Body: Dexter runs into some problems with this following his impulsive murder of Matt Caldwell. He considers the nearby lake (too shallow, so somebody will find it eventually), a cemetery (frozen ground, so impossible to dig), a woodchipper (too messy and leaves too much evidence), and an abandoned mine (unfortunately, occupied by a bear). He settles for temporarily burying Matt's body parts near his cabin before later incinerating them in an industrial furnace. Unfortunately, this still creates evidence, since the fire wasn't hot enough to melt titanium pins in Matt's leg. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Dexter discovers that sending away his toddler son to live with his angelic stepmother in Argentina and faking his own death is a terrible solution to the Evil Parents Want Good Kids problem. Harrison already had unresolved trauma from experiencing his mother's murder as a baby, Hannah dies of pancreatic cancer without Dexter even knowing, and Harrison ends up in foster care for several years before tracking him down a decade later. If you murder your son's wrestling coach after he's only known you for two weeks, he's not going to keep cooperating with you. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Dexter kills Logan to escape from the police station, and Harrison kills Dexter when he learns of Logan's murder. Harrison is then forced to flee the town to avoid association with Dexter's death, meaning he abandons Audrey and his new life. However, Dexter's death is a Mercy Kill and he dies knowing Harrison will be able to move on and make a fresh start. Furthermore, it's implied that Dexter will be revealed to the world as the Bay Harbor Butcher, posthumously clearing Doakes's name after nearly two decades of being falsely accused. Kurt is also dead with his reign as the Runaway Killer not only being put to an end, but fully exposed as well. | |

Commander Contrarian: As a manifestation of Dexter's guilt and self-doubt, Deb has no consistent point of view. Once Dexter starts killing and becomes conflicted, she alternates between castigating his murderous tendencies and urging him to kill again. Whatever stance Dexter is currently taking, she takes the opposite. | |

Dexter: New Blood / int_599f943f | comment |
Karma Houdini Warranty: Dexter managed to get away with being the Bay Harbor Butcher and successfully built a new life for himself in Iron Lake... only to finally pay for his crimes when his son comes to town. Kurt has terrorized Iron Lake as the Runaway Killer for years, but thanks to Dexter, he not only is revealed after all that time, but killed too. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Almost a decade of isolation and having no murder to curb his impulses has not been kind to Dexter. Typified by imaginary Deb being way more aggressive and emotional than imaginary Harry ever was. Predictably, when he breaks the dry spell and kills Matt, it is sloppy. Kurt also gets noticeably more unhinged after his kill routine goes wrong and he misses out on a couple more. | |

Sequel Hook | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Near the end of the season, after revealing himself to be a serial killer and having Harrison serve as his accomplice, Dexter suggests Los Angeles as a possible new hunting ground for them to seek out predators to kill. The ending of the series totally nixes the possibility of Dexter and Harrison doing that together... but during the end credits from Harrison's POV, we see him driving from country roads into the streets of a densely populated city. Given the intense reluctance Harrison had when leaving Audrey (to the point that he had to drive by her window to get one last look at her), it's not hard to imagine Harrison going against his better judgment and going back to see her again some day either and trouble brewing as a result of that somehow. | |

Mummies at the Dinner Table: Implied Trope. In the penultimate episode, Dexter and Harrison discover Kurt's trophy room, which was already glimpsed in earlier episodes. After killing his victims by shooting them in the chest, Kurt embalms and preserves the corpses as best he can, then displays them in a windowed coffin wearing a white dress and looking quite angelic. He's done this dozens of times, all to preserve their "innocence". He gets very unhinged when one of his murders goes sideways and destroys the girl's face in the process. He proceeds to pummel the body as "punishment". | |

Kurt's lackey wounds Dexter in the leg because he's meant to bring him in alive, but not well enough to stop him escaping. After declaring he's just going to kill Dexter, he somehow manages to miss repeatedly: once when Dexter is hobbling out in the open, and another while Dexter is behind a tree. The lackey only manages to hit the tree and apparently doesn't see Dexter move to shoot at Dexter again. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: Even without his death in the end, given that she found out he was the Bay Harbor Butcher, suffice it to say that Dexter and Angela don't end up together after all that. After killing Dexter, Harrison is forced to flee the town to avoid the consequences while Angela covers for him and makes it look like she killed him in self-defense. This means he not only is forced to leave Audrey, but can't even say goodbye either. | |

Wham Episode: In Episode 4 "H is for Hero", it is revealed that Kurt Caldwell is the runaway killer and it is strongly implied that Harrison does indeed have a dark passenger and uses a straight razor as a weapon, as he remembers witnessing Rita being murdered by Trinity. In Episode 5 "Runaway", Angel Batista returns, and in a friendly chat with Angela at a police conference, provides some information that leads to Angela finding out Dexter's true identity. In Episode 7 "Skin of her Teeth", Kurt reveals that he knows Dexter killed his son, Matt. To make things worse, Dexter also finds out that Harrison remembers Rita's murder at the hands of Trinity. In Episode 8 "Big Game", Dexter and Harrison finally get back on the same page, and start the confrontation with Kurt. The finale, Episode 10, Dexter is killed by Harrison, who comes to realise he doesn't have a dark passenger, he's just angry at Dexter for abandoning him. | |

Asshole Victim: Matt Caldwell from his first moment on screen makes it clear that he's going to become Dexter's first victim in nearly a decade. He's rude, obnoxious, and has a serious case of Screw the Rules, I Have Money!; this is all in the first five minutes of meeting him and before we learn he's gotten away with the deaths of five people thanks to bribery and perjury. Jasper, the drug dealer who laced pills with fentanyl, takes the time to mock Dexter's son and his parenting skills while on the kill table. | |

Bunker Woman: The modus operandi of the Runaway Killer involves taking runaway girls to a remote cabin with the offer of free lodging. Once the girls are inside, they can't leave, since the door can only be opened from the outside. He then watches them for several days through a security camera before opening the door so he can shoot them with a sniper rifle as they attempt to flee. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The White Stag: a pure white deer that Dexter tracks and "hunts" as part of his morning routine but which he's never seen intending to kill. When Matt Caldwell kills it, it becomes the straw that breaks Dexter's will and leads to murder the former. The Runaway Killer also wears an all-white winter camouflage outfit when he murders his victims. The first victim is also shown in an overhead shot running on a field of pure white snow. Dexter and Harrison meet for the last time where the white deer was shot. Dexter, clad in all-black, is shot in the exact same spot. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: In Episode 8, Big Game: Kurt's lackey wounds Dexter in the leg because he's meant to bring him in alive, but not well enough to stop him escaping. After declaring he's just going to kill Dexter, he somehow manages to miss repeatedly: once when Dexter is hobbling out in the open, and another while Dexter is behind a tree. The lackey only manages to hit the tree and apparently doesn't see Dexter move to shoot at Dexter again. Kurt when he sees Dexter slowly driving towards him after getting ready to kill Harrison, he firstly fails to shoot Harrison, then manages to miss three shots in a row with his sniper rifle, which has a laser aimpoint and a scope on it. The ranges being about 40 yards down to 5. | |

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: When Dexter is about to kill Matt, the latter tries to excuse his crimes by saying his mother died when he was young and his father was a bit distant with him. Dexter is dumbfounded that Matt would blame his crimes on "bad parenting", pointing out that his own mother was murdered in front of him. On the other hand, he admits that he probably would never have become a Serial-Killer Killer and just ended up on the electric chair if it wasn't for Harry Morgan. | |

Understanding Boyfriend: Girlfriends in this case, for Audrey and Angela. At first annoyed that Dexter had a son he never mentioned, Angela quickly comes around and offers advice to him. Dexter actually believed she was going to break up with him. Audrey also appears to have gone completely cold on Harrison due to his propensity for violence. At some point before Episode 9 everything is patched up off screen, with Audrey being extremely happy when they come for Christmas morning, while Angela is more reserved, things are well enough in the relationship that they actually make plans for Christmas morning and evening to be spent with each other, and Dexter is comfortable enough again to say he loves her. | |

Near the end of the season, after revealing himself to be a serial killer and having Harrison serve as his accomplice, Dexter suggests Los Angeles as a possible new hunting ground for them to seek out predators to kill. The ending of the series totally nixes the possibility of Dexter and Harrison doing that together... but during the end credits from Harrison's POV, we see him driving from country roads into the streets of a densely populated city. | |

Dexter: New Blood / int_d2566b32 | comment |
Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: There is a mysterious killer of runaway women, and he does so by trapping them for a while, then letting them out so he can gun them down with a sniper rifle. It's not really much of a hunt, though, considering the minuscule distance and the weapon he's using. In Episode 8, Kurt's lackey has to chase Dexter through a forest after a car accident. Later on, Kurt vanishes into the forest after Dexter rescues Harrison, seemingly starting a new chase right as the episode ends. Subverted when the next episode skips ahead to the morning and a reveal that Dexter and Harrison didn't even try to chase him, and so Kurt shows up at Angela's house on Christmas morning acting like nothing happened. | |

Red Herring: Edward Olsen the billionaire is teased as the series' big villain. He takes notice of Audrey and tries to lure her into his car, making it seem like he's the serial killer of runaways, but he's not. Once Kurt is revealed to be the killer, Olsen is never referenced again. | |

Triple Shifter | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_decd10ac | comment |
Triple Shifter: Toward the end of the season, Dexter stays awake multiple days straight without showing any sign of tiredness. On Christmas Eve, he is up during the day, presumably doing a shift at the gun store, saves Harrison from getting into trouble with the kids from the other wrestling school. Dexter is then captured by Kurt's minion. He was seemingly unconscious for a short period before coming back & crashing the minion's car, gets shot, escapes, kills the minion, rescues Harrison, fills him in on his Code, after midnight (making it Christmas), he has to go back to clean up the dead minion before spending the morning with Harrison, Angela. & Audrey. Kurt shows up so the pair go after him, which takes them through past Christmas Night, after they track down Kurt and kill him, the clean up takes so long that they only arrive back to the now burned down cabin on the morning of the 26th. And still haven't actually gone to sleep when the episode ends, or seemingly got any kind of medical help for his gunshot wound that doesn't seem to trouble him at all. | |

Alone with the Psycho | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_dfe687c9 | comment |
Alone with the Psycho: Kurt takes Molly to his cabin clearly to kill her, but Dexter intervenes at the right time making sure Kurt is unable to kill her. Molly herself was already highly suspicious of the whole situation, and was reaching for a can of pepper spray when Dexter arrived. Interestingly, this makes Molly present in one place with TWO psychos! Not long after, Harrison winds up in the exact same position. In this case, Kurt's fatherly act is so convincing that Harrison doesn't suspect anything is amiss until Kurt attempts to hunt and kill him. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Despite Molly being a potential threat to Dexter, he still decides to save her from Kurt rather than let him kill her. She returns this act of kindness by telling Angela how suspicious it was that Dexter was there to bail her out, and that he must have recorded her and Kurt talking if he knew where they were going. This is ultimately what makes Angela start her investigation of Dexter. | |

Addiction Displacement | |
Dexter: New Blood / int_ed3dc201 | comment |
Addiction Displacement: In the first episode, Dexter uses non-lethal deer hunting as a morning routine to deep his urges at bay. It's implied that he never kills the deer because it would just tempt him to kill people again. In a way, this can be compared to how meditation is useful for addiction recovery. Notably, as soon as he witnessed the deer getting shot (not by him), he completely snaps. | |

Given the intense reluctance Harrison had when leaving Audrey (to the point that he had to drive by her window to get one last look at her), it's not hard to imagine Harrison going against his better judgment and going back to see her again some day either and trouble brewing as a result of that somehow. | |
