Warning: Contains spoilers for Dexter: New Blood episode 6.

In Dexter: New Blood episode 6, the revival show confirmed a crucial element about the truth of Dexter’s visions. Dexter: New Blood picks up the story of the vigilante serial killer almost ten years after the events of Dexter season 8, with almost as many years spanning the gap between the two shows’ releases. The revival has played with many elements and references from the original Dexter, but the use of Dexter’s visions is the resurrection of one of Dexter’s most iconic aspects.

The original Dexter was regularly narrated by the eponymous character, played by Michael C. Hall, as the TV show gave an insight into the supposedly emotionless mind of the serial killer. When that wasn’t enough, Dexter stretched to include dream sequences and moments where he talked to someone who was dead as if they were standing right beside him. In Dexter: New Blood, the narration and dreams have both made a comeback as in Dexter: New Blood episode 1, “Cold Snap,” Dexter dreams that he sees his sister, Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter), being pulled into his ice-fishing hole by a mysterious figure before he awakens to see Deb in his bed assuring him that she is happy to have been the first one to die.

In Dexter: New Blood episode 6, “Too Many Tuna Sandwiches,” Deb has one line that highlights the fact that Dexter’s visions are purely within his mind and imaginary. After Harrison (Jack Alcott) has been caught in Audrey’s (Johnny Sequoyah) bed and Dexter has been confronted with the fact, Dexter asks Deb “What should I do?” Deb responds, “If you don’t know, then I certainly don’t.” This clarifies that Deb doesn’t have any information or knowledge outside of Dexter’s own as she is purely an internal embodiment of his own thoughts and feelings, given form by his memory of his dead, foul-mouthed sister.

It can often be difficult to remember that Dexter’s visions, in both Dexter and Dexter: New Blood, entirely represent nothing more than Dexter’s own conflicted mind and are not a spirit of a deceased family member. The line has become particularly blurred in Dexter: New Blood as Dexter’s vision of Deb often disagrees with him so fervently on some topics and is as likely to get angry and mock him as it is to share a joke with him. While this blurs the line of how Dexter’s visions work, it also demonstrates the larger shift in his character in Dexter: New Blood. The central figure of Dexter’s visions in Dexter was regularly Harry as he pressured Dexter to keep to the code when he had doubts, whereas Deb is inclined to pressure Dexter away from killing entirely and guides him not to make the same mistakes with Harrison that Harry made with him. The Dexter: New Blood visions really emphasize that Dexter changed after Deb’s death and that the near-decade with no kills was driven by a genuine transformation in his desires and not merely self-preservation.

The lack of clarity as to the nature of Dexter’s imaginary visions in Dexter: New Blood is actually nothing new for the franchise. While Dexter’s visions of Harry are an iconic image that many will remember from the original series, they actually did not appear in their final form until Dexter season 5. In the earlier seasons, Dexter’s conversations with Harry are first shown through flashbacks to real events and then through strange dreamscapes. The first figure to appear to Dexter in the real world as an apparent hallucination is his brother, Brian Moser, AKA Rudy Cooper, played by Christian Camargo. This doesn’t happen until Dexter season 2 after Brian’s death and there is an implication that Dexter is haunted by him, needing to find closure to help rid him of his present. However, like Harry and Deb’s appearance later, Dexter’s visions of his brother are purely Dexter’s way of dealing with his own conflicted mind, an element that Dexter: New Blood has now subtly highlighted.
