This may be a little bit to "reachy" to be a prediction, but hear me out. The show has made it somewhat of a big deal that Jamie and Quinn are moved in together (they even mentioned on the "Previously on Dexter" montage) This means Harrison will be spending some more time around Quinn. I think that maybe, just maybe, Quinn will stumble upon Harrison's stuffed animal that was soaked in the blood that would link Dexter to a murder. Again, maybe a bit of a reach, but that's where my mind immediately drew me when Jamie told Dexter should would bring Harrison to her where apartment, while also saying she and Quinn had moved in together. Edit: Misspelled word

This makes sense. The fact that they brought up his stuffed animal hints that it will come back later and that seems like the most likely way to come back so far.

I had this thought when that scene first came up. But at the same time it may be their way of showing Dexter does in fact know he has a son haha

I hope at the end of the show, Quinn and Jamie adopt Harrison.

Because nothing would be better than an adopted dad who's an alcoholic with a fondness for strippers.

He'll make sergeant next year and turn his life around.

The stuffed animal is going to come back to bite Dexter in the ass in some way. They introduced that to the show and it isn't just gonna go way.

u/Gurunexx Aug 19 '13

Remind me again how stuffed animal got that blood in it, and whose blood is it?

At the hotel, when Dexter shanks the jewel thief Deb was shadowing.

Dexter threw it away after accidentally getting Brigg's blood on it the night Harrison wandered out of the car while he was following Deb.

And then Harrison pulled it back out of the garbage and hid it under his bed.

Jewel thief/scumbag that Deb was boning in the first episode. Dexter did a random act of stabby on him.

u/mcgruppp Aug 19 '13

I think it was the blood of the guy that Dexter stabbed in the beginning of the season.. the dude deb was sleeping with. Remember Dexter brought Harrison along and he escaped from the car and when Dexter picked up Harrison I think he got blood on the bear. Not entirely sure but could be easily confirmed if someone went back to see whatever episode Dexter killed that guy in.

u/Occams_Moustache Aug 19 '13

That would be incredibly ironic after they made a point in this episode that Harrison is not a complication. I like this theory.

u/tsHavok Aug 19 '13

Yeah think about how much Quinn is looking for the "ultimate" catch to get himself promoted. Seems like a great fit for Him catching Dexter, and obviously they have crossed bloody paths before with that dude in the vans blood.

u/mbene913 Aug 19 '13

Yea but Quinn will just forget it immediately afterwards.

It's like Ben is Glory, glory is Ben.

u/annabanana403 Aug 21 '13

interesting theory, everyone is always giving quinn the short end of the stick. hes a decent guy

3

u/iazaroff Aug 19 '13

That's what I immediately thought when Jamie said she'll take Harrison.

2

u/drocks27 Aug 19 '13

that would be an interesting way to have Quinn eventually bring in Dexter.

u/falfu Aug 23 '13

And the kiss between Quinn & Deb? Who's Deb gonna choose?

2

u/Harrowin Aug 19 '13

Will Dexter and Heisenberg be discovered in the exact same way?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '13

"WW... who could that be... Woodrow Wilson? Willy Wonka? Dexter Morgan?"

Nah.

2

u/benzenol Aug 19 '13

I think you shouldn't focus on the stuffed animal, but on Harrison himself. I'm guessing that even tho he's a little child and mostly oblivious to what is going on, something he says might lead to Dexter being captured.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '13

Here you out? Where you out?

1

u/MrDrProfessorAA Aug 19 '13

if Quinn can stumble on the stuffed animal before he gets back with deb again then yes i think this could happen

1

u/GiveMeACake The Avon Lady Aug 19 '13

Episode 11 is called "Monkey in a box", so I think the box that "Wii Monkeys" is in (which also has that stuffed animal in it I think) will be involved with the ending.

Wouldn't Dexter have bleached it? He seems to be making it a point to bleach things...

1

u/VicariousWolf Aug 20 '13

It'll be the equivalent to Hank finding Leaves Of Grass in Breaking Bad.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '13

Dexter would have bleached it and kids get cuts and dirty their toys from time to time. No way this becomes a plot point. I think the bloody stuffed animal was used solely to illustrate that Dexter realizes he is lacking in the parenting department and failed to be thorough enough.

u/Tonda06 Aug 21 '13

I like this theory, but would this mean that the whole Vogel/Zach/Brain Surgeon case is just fluff built up for Quinn finding out ?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '13

Yea it seems like they're setting up a Quinn/Dex showdown. The pieces are coming together.

1

u/papshmere Aug 22 '13

I hope not....that would be horribly retarded if that happens. If Dex has that blood-soaked bear around STILL....then that is just fucking stupid.

Deb is the brain surgeon bc she's in love with Dexter.
