That's why he fell asleep at the wheel and didn't remember where he hid that body. It's all her fault. She's gonna make Dexter slip some how and Harry is gonna remind Dex of the code and things are going to get pretty interesting...

Yeah, but you've obviously never raised a child? Well.. I haven't either, but believe me, it takes a lot of work from both parents, especially those first years. And we're not seeing her taking care of the kid, cos that's not what we wanna see She's still obviously taking care of it.

Dexter and Rita having a kid is... just the natural thing to do, I think. Dexter uses him as yet another part of his cover (while clearly loving him in some way), and Rita... Ok, I have no idea about Rita, there could be a million reasons

But it makes for some interesting change in a show that could've become pretty repetitive otherwise.
