So Harrison (plus the time away) might present an opportunity to do that story again, since New Blood is very directly in the business of course-correcting things from the final season.Ĭlancy Brown's Kurt was more of a presence this week, albeit an annoying one. The Brain Surgeon killed the kid, but Dexter saw the Dark Passenger in Zach and was considering mentoring him. It's almost Dexter's origin tale to a "T." So will Harrison have his own "whoopsie" (with Ethan maybe)? Is this to be Dexter's final lesson? Might Harrison succeed Dexter? Will Dexter be Harrison's first victim? There's a lot to ponder just after this one episode.īut also consider that they already tried to do a version of this story in Season 8 with Dexter and that young murder boy, Zach (Sam Underwood). Harrison, as a toddler, watched his mom get killed by Trinity and then sat in her blood for who knows how long, crying. And also.he was an addict at some point too? He's for sure a damaged young man.Īnd the Season 4 finale can't be ignored, right? Especially as the last episode Clyde Phillips was the showrunner for in the original run. There's still so much we don't know about Harrison's time with Hannah, or his years in foster care. So does Harrison have Dexter's darkness? He himself was worried about it, and it's possible it wasn't just because of the letter. Maybe not as much as future psycho Ethan does, who envisions himself as The Punisher in an instantly alarming way, but enough to almost immediately stand up for someone and use violence to make his point. The bozo teens he connected with last week, Audrey withstanding, are now his enemies. Harrison was still pissy here and there, whenever Dexter would slightly misstep as a dad.īut Harrison's solo story started toying around with some compelling things. And there were still traces of that this week too.

This boy would travel the country for years looking for "Jim Lindsey," only to find him and then constantly complain about what a bad father Jim was being when Jim was trying, for the first time, to be a father. Mentioned in last week's review was Harrison's egregious teenage-ness, coupled with being a resentful estranged son, making him an insufferable re-addition to Dexter's life. It was time to be a father (whatever he thinks that means now).

More interesting here was how Dexter's exhaustion and unavailability due to these efforts wove into his story with Harrison and how much Dexter tried to convince himself that this was a one-time mistake that, once solved, wouldn't happen again. We don't have to get into the main meat of "Smoke Signals" too much since the bulk of it involved Dexter doing his damndest to ditch the body he created (and mutilated) in what's now the second episode in a row dealing directly with the aftermath of the premiere. By the rules of Dexter, insofar as "how one develops a Dark Passenger," Harrison certainly seems like a fledgling Bay Harbor Butcher, right? "Smoke Signals" may have had Dexter chasing his tail again, still dancing with local authorities (and wildlife cameras, CSI guys, and Chekhov's grizzly bear) to cover up his Matt Caldwell "whoopsie," but it zeroed in on some curious and promising aspects of Harrison's character that may prove fruitful a few episodes from now.
