Major Events and Revelations Await in the Final Episodes
The final two episodes—especially the highly anticipated finale titled Code Blues—have been frequently teased by the cast as game-changing, with significant revelations on the horizon.

Flashbacks to the 1970s: A Deeper Look at Laura Moser's Tragic Fate
The 1970s flashbacks continue to captivate viewers, even those already familiar with Dexter’s original timeline. While fans know the outcome, these flashbacks provide a deeper, more nuanced perspective on Laura Moser's tragic fate and its lasting impact on Dexter and Brian.
Following the climactic final scene of Episode 8 (Business and Pleasure), which depicted the birth of Dexter and Brian’s Dark Passenger after witnessing their mother’s brutal murder in a shipping container, Episode 9’s flashbacks will pick up right where things left off. As seen in the official Blood Drive trailer, this episode will feature the iconic moment when Harry Morgan and Miami Metro rescue Dexter and Brian—only to separate them forever.
Doris and Harry Morgan: The Adoption of Dexter
Episode 9, Blood Drive, penned by executive producer and writer Scott Reynolds, will explore Doris Morgan’s reaction to Harry’s decision to adopt two-year-old Dexter Moser, officially making him a Morgan. Jasper Lewis, who portrays Doris in the 1970s flashbacks, recently shared images from the episode, hinting at significant emotional turmoil and tough decisions ahead for her character.
Harry’s decision to adopt Dexter comes in the wake of his own personal tragedy—the loss of his biological son, Harry Jr. This devastating event, previously unknown to Dexter fans, was first revealed in the Original Sin premiere, adding new depth to Harry’s motivations.
