What time is Dexter: New Blood episode 5 on tonight, Dec. 5?

Dexter (Michael C. Hall) must do whatever is necessary to keep his son safe from drugs, potentially unleashing his Dark Passenger again. Don’t miss out on Dexter: New Blood episode 5.

Harrison (Jack Alcott) mentioned that he was clean after struggling with a drug problem earlier this season. Based on the synopsis and images for this episode, it looks like he might relapse as Dexter is shown visiting him in a hospital bed. The summary also mentions that he’ll have to use an unconventional method to protect his son from drugs.

I’m assuming that Dexter will unleash his Dark Passenger on the person who supplied Harrison. The question is, who is that person? Can Dexter really risk killing someone right now with all the drama and intrigue surrounding Matt Caldwell’s disappearance?

Angela and Molly take a road trip in Dexter: New Blood episode 5

This week, we’ll also get to see more of Jamie Chung’s character, Molly. Molly made herself invaluable to Angela (Julia Jones) in the previous episode by offering her intel into one of Iron Lake’s missing girls. A successful podcast comes with benefits, namely an online army of armchair detectives who obsessively track details of the cases Molly discusses.

Even though one of the girls missing is confirmed to be a runaway who changed her name and started a new life, Molly notes that none of the other girls have popped up anywhere despite hundreds of eyes searching for them. That’s a foreboding sign.

Motivated by Molly’s intel, Angela and the podcaster follow a lead to New York City that makes them think differently about a well-respected member of the Iron Lake community.
