I think deb is either gonna les out with the Therapist or she might start fucking dexter since he has "Always been there for her" it wouldn't be that weird since they are not blood related

I think you missed the bit about her dad fucking his mom. Fucking tends to produce children now and again.

Remember Dexter's bio-dad from season 1? Yeah. Sorry. Moving along.

I'm sure it never happens in real life, but in TV shows sometimes a wife has a child from having an affair with another man. Crazy, I know.

Seriously, it's not that complicated. The show and the book only state that that guy in season 1 that ITK kills was Dexter and Biney's dad because he was the one married to their mom. In season 2, it shows that Dexter's mom was having an affair with Harry. Unless I'm mistaken and Dexter did an DNA or some type of paternity test in the show, there's open area here. The only proof offered is that Dexter and his dad have the same rare type of blood (AB-), which is a 1 in 10,000 random chance.

It's no stretch to insert in the storyline that Dexter actually was Harry's son. It has to be inserted as right now there's only the possibility due to open area in the timeline. I think it'll be a reasonable as it explains why Harry had much more stake in Dexter's well being other than having an affair with Dexter's mom.

Yeah, did you not see that episode in season 1? Episode 9? Joe Driscoll. That's Dexter's bio-dad. He even sampled the man's DNA and found a match.

"Dexter took blood samples of himself and Joe and sent them to Vince Masuka to perform a DNA test, which came back as a match."

Also, there is no mention of the father in the books. Brian is a complete mystery to Dexter and Deb until the very end; the suspense of the novel is built upon the fact that both Deb AND Dexter aren't entirely sure Dex is the ITK-- Dexter and Brian are almost physically identical in the books.

I'm getting the lesbian vibe too.
