We can cut Dexter a little slack for not being himself in the season five premiere, what with his wife brutally murdered by his archenemy, Trinity and his son left at the scene, sitting in a pool of his mother's blood. But expect things to kick into high gear very soon. We already know Quinn's got his teeth in Dexter, but wait till he finds out about Trinity's ole' pal, Kyle Butler. Dex has proven he's capable of handling heat that's high and inside, as the late Sgt. Doakes found out. But with grief counselling (yes, Dex is getting therapy!), a bizarro cult killer on the loose, two grief-striken orphans and a newborn baby at home, Dexter may not see Quinn coming until it's too late. Take a look at what's ahead this season here and read on for more spoiler splatter analysis.
- Holy spoiler! If you didn't know Rita died last season, you do now. Of course you, loyal Dexter spoilers reader, are up to date and then some, but for those waiting to catch the series on DVD, the poster below may be a bit too telling. Either way, it's pretty awesome, especially the logline: "Who baths his hands in blood, will have to wash them with tears." However, according to our friends at Showtime, it's a fake!
- Julia Stiles spilled on her much-talked about little-known about role this season and it's giving us a bad Lila flashback.
- Dead but not forgotten, Rita's not the only casuality from last season we may see popping up this season.

- Dex will be enlisting the help of "an Irish nanny" to help care for Astor and Cody and he'll find a new thorn in his side courtesy of his old friends, the FBI. Read up on who's signed on to play the cat to Dexter's mouse down in Miami this fall.
- A certain someone will be returning for the season premiere. And that certain someone is dead...
