If you haven’t rewatched Dexter Season 2 (S2) lately, let’s crack open the evidence bag.

The second season begins with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) struggling to balance his dark impulses with his growing relationship with Rita Bennett (Julia Stiles), a woman he meets through his brother Brian (James Remar). Unbeknownst to Rita, Dexter is still actively killing, and his Dark Passenger, a manifestation of his alter ego, pushes him to continue his murderous ways.

Dexter, desperate and broken, walks into a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. He doesn't say he’s a drug addict. He confesses the truth—that he is a serial killer, that he is empty inside, that he needs to kill to feel human.

“Surprise, motherfucker.”
