WARNING: Spoilers for Dexter: New Blood Episode 2
The new trailer for Dexter: New Blood episode 3 shows Debra getting violent with Dexter. After failing to stick the landing with fans and critics back in 2013, Showtime is back with Dexter: New Blood, showing the aftermath of Dexter faking his death and leaving Harrison and Hannah McKay in Argentina. So far, the series has been well-received, with many hoping the series will finally end on a high note.
Episode 2, “Storm of F**k,” picks up after Dexter kills Matt Caldwell. As established in the previous episode, Dexter is trying to make amends with his son after abandoning him, which leads to him finding out Hannah died of pancreatic cancer three years ago. Dexter’s conversations with Harrison prove some of the most emotional scenes of the episode. At the same time, the town of Iron Lake continues the search for Matt, using Dexter’s cabin as a base of operations. Jennifer Carpenter’s Deb returns again this episode, criticizing Dexter for trying to have a relationship with his son. The episode concludes with the police continuing their search before the camera tilts down to reveal Matt’s body buried underground.
The newest trailer from Showtime (via Dexter: New Blood) sees the search for Matt Caldwell continue as the police begin to suspect not all is what it seems. The trailer also shows Harrison being enrolled in school, as well as Dexter confronting a bear in a cave. Deb continues to have a big role in the series, with the teaser showing Dexter being slammed into a mirror by his dead sister.
Debra of course died at the end of Dexter season 8, but that didn’t stop showrunner Clyde Phillips from bringing back Carpenter as Dexter’s new Dark Passenger of sorts. Deb had helped Dexter avoid killing for the last decade and was also adamant that he stayed out of Harrison’s life when he showed up in Iron Lake. While things were seemingly peaceful in the time between season 8 and Dexter: New Blood, things are once again chaotic for Dexter when he kills Matt and misses a trail of blood. While Harry Morgan’s version of the Dark Passenger helped Dexter get away with murder, having Deb in his head shows how much Dexter is truly struggling with his desire to reform his relationship with Harrison even though he is scared of getting him killed.
Going forward, Deb is likely going to continue showing up now that Harrison has decided to live with Dexter. Her scenes in Dexter: New Blood have brought an almost horror element to the show, with her jumping out of a frozen lake in episode 1 and destroying one of Dexter’s windows in episode 2. Since Deb is dead, Dexter of course isn’t really getting shoved into a mirror, but the trailer makes it clear that the memory of his sister will continue to haunt him throughout the season.
