Expect Dexter‘s premiere to pick up six months after the finale, when Debra, an ultra-ethical police lieutenant, made the soul-shattering decision to kill her boss Maria LaGuerta.
Debra has quit Miami Metro and works for a private eye (Sean Patrick Flanery) while spurning Dexter’s attempts to rekindle their relationship.
Enter Dr. Evelyn Vogel , a psychiatrist with a secret: Decades ago she helped Dexter’s father write the Code that he’s used to manage his psychotic impulses. Now she’s being stalked by a mysterious killer and wants Dex’s help.
Plus there’s a new Big Bad for Miami Metro to hunt, a serial killer who leaves victims with tiny pieces of their brains removed (dubbed, of course, The Brain Surgeon), and the return of Dex’s poisonous love interest Hannah McKay.
