Warning: Spoilers for Dexter: New Blood episode 2.

It seems  Dexter: New Blood has already introduced a major Harrison plot pigsty - why didn't he find Astor and Cody after being sent to Miami? Harrison arrives in New Blood episode 1 after finally tracking downward Dexter, who abandoned him well-nigh a decade earlier in the original series ending. When Harrison explains to Dexter how he found him in Iron Lake, he says he was living with Hannah in Argentine republic for approximately 5 years before she died, subsequently which he was shuffled through the foster organisation in Miami for iii years. Considering Harrison has (presumably) living family members left in Florida, it's curious why he didn't seek them out instead of Dexter.

Earlier Dexter had his son with Rita in Dexter'south original series, he was a adequately circumspect step-male parent to her children Astor and Cody. When attempting to observe the perfect cover of a "normal" life, Dexter began dating Rita Bennett, a woman Deb introduced him to later having been a frequent survivor of domestic abuse. She had ii children from her past marriage, who Dexter helped raise until Rita'south murder by The Trinity Killer in the flavour iv finale. Feeling that he couldn't properly heighten Astor, Cody and the babe Harrison later on Rita's death (while also existence suspected of killing her), Astor and Cody were sent to alive with their father Paul'southward parents in Orlando, Florida, with Astor only making a few brief appearances during the rest of the series.

Surprisingly, 2 episodes into New Blood there has been no mention of Astor or Cody, allow alone a legitimate conservation well-nigh Rita. If Harrison understands his mother was murdered, he would know nearly Astor and Cody. While Harrison still would take been quite young when placed in Miami's foster system, he clearly had a keen investigative eye to spend those three years searching for a nonexistent Jim Lindsay around the The states. Instead of going through the foster arrangement, why wouldn't he have tried to track down Astor and Cody? They would already be in their early 20s at this time, and likely wouldn't be hard to track down - at to the lowest degree not as hard as Dexter in Iron Lake.

If Harrison was really searching for his family and answers, Astor and Cody would be the logical identify to become to plant a connection. For starters, Harrison probably has plenty of questions near Rita, which Hannah wouldn't be able to reply because they never met. It's too possible Astor and Cody would be active on social media also, so they would be much easier to find. Additionally, while Paul's parents aren't Harrison's blood grandparents, they came to his birthday parties and treated him just every bit kindly as they did their grandchildren. Astor and Cody may not have had any idea what happened to Harrison beforeNew Blood, but they would probably exist the most receptive to recounting with him.

Although Christina Robinson (Astor) and Preston Bailey (Cody) were present at Dexter: New Claret's world premiere in New York, it doesn't seem they'll appear in the season. New Blood is centered around the torn relationship between Dexter and Harrison, and so they don't have as well much time to include his half-siblings within the show's 10-episode run. If Dexter: New Claret ends with Dexter's death - as many have theorized - it's possible Harrison will finally seek out his long-estranged siblings subsequently.
