A really good episode which I found to be thoroughly engaging, especially with how it explores the reason certain people lie. Why is Kurt lying? Because he's a killer willing to take matters into his own hands. Why is Harrison lying? Because he is the aggressor. I particularly liked the scene in which Dexter examines the blood spatter, with Deb helping him to act it out. It's such a neat way to visually represent what he sees in his mind. I am a little nervous about the direction of Harrison as a character, but I've got my fingers crossed that they manage to pull it off well. Was this always his destiny?

It's such an awesome episode just like the ones from before season 8. His son slashed the boy who's being bullied and lied about it and I like how Dexter solved the case as if he's still a blood splatter analyst. His latest victim's father is a serial killer, too and he's also lying about his dead son.

What an awesome episode, best of the series so far.

There have been subtle nuances coming from Harrison all season that he's "not right" and I also believe he absolutley knows about Dexter's dark past and wants him to open up.

Harrison has been getting more edgy with each episode and after almost killing Ethan he has unintentially revealed a darkness in him, but it's not the same as Dex's "Dark Passenger".

Ethan hadn't actually done anything bad and this shows Harrison doesn't have Dex's code. He doesn't appear to have empathy for others and is more like a sociopath than someone who avenges bad deeds.

That smile when Dex found the blade was chilling, he's happy about this, but for how long?

I think this episode was the best episode of new blood so far and for so many reasons. Kurt is officially revealed as the villain, Harrison is revealed to have a dark passenger and he is very good at hiding it maybe even better than his dad, and at the end Dexter finds out that his son is like himself and he likes that which was felt kinda strange but very understandable because he now has someone to really open up to. This episode somehow managed to improve season 4 and the character of trinity by telling us that trinity was actually successful on making Dexter's life harder by killing his wife and intentionally making his son watch it so it would mess him up forever which evidently did.

I like how the revival kinda continues the story from the 4th season of original Dexter, the last season that was a top notch TV (Showtime did the similar thing in "Homeland" and it worked wonderfully). We have many references to Trinity Killer, to Dexter and Harrison's births in blood and it gives great vibes. They make us forget that seasons 5-8 even existed and giving us what was the best about Dexter and I love it !

We have confirmations about Kurt being the killer, Harrison having a dark passenger and although these things were pretty obvious I am actually glad that they are not trying to do some ridiculous plot twists about that and just making a story with sense.

And I am still in love with Deb in this season. It's amazing how they brought this character to life. New Blood would've been much worse without her.

I am hoping though that the next episodes will have better pacing, because these episodes thus far are just too slow for my taste and waiting a week for such slow episodes is very annonying. They should've either make less episodes in New Blood with better pacing or release two of them each week.

The Dexter of old was apathetic - what happened?

He is displaying emotions that I thought his character was devoid of?

Slowly but surely we are getting the old Dexter vibe back.

Looking forward to the next episode.

The police chief who is a model of efficiency and smarts misses the evidence that point to Harrisson instigating the stabbing? No very credible. Also you're telling me no one will remember Clancy Brown's character giving that runaway a ride? C'mon!

Also Debra is quite annoying and doesn't add anything.

Weak episode.

I can't believe it, Harrison's a psycho too, that's all I didn't want from this new season, it's as if the show has fallen into a ridiculous cliché. Kurt's officially the Big Bad and Molly will soon be a huge problem for Dexter. That said, ep5 is the first one critics haven't yet seen, and it will be great, also thanks to the fact that Dexter will kill again.

You know this epispde reminds me of the old Dexter. The blood patterns.... Harrison's urge to kill.... Kurt, the bad guy who pretends to be Normal and be loved. Can't wait to find out what will happen next.
