He starts dating a rape victim, Rita Bennett, to avoid any sexual intimacy while still appearing normal to outsiders.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Some of their uses of real-life Miami locations are just plain '''wrong'''. A particularly egregious example is when a villain is noted to have had a rich upbringing, demonstrated by going to a Westland Prep School in Hialeah. Nevermind the fact that Hialeah has no prep schools and that it's a low-to-mid income city, and that they've somehow confused Westland High School (which is in Hialeah, Florida) with Westland School in Los Angeles (which is a prep school), but Westland High School was founded in 2007, making it completely impossible for a middle aged man to be an alumni of it.

** Season 5 sees a string of murders committed by members of a cult known as Santa Muerte.

Additionally, the cult members in this season are Venezuelan, whereas the "real" Santa Muerte doesn't see much reverence anywhere beyond Mexico and its borders. Further cementing this ignorance, Lauren Veléz said [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-b86dmCpZk&t= in an interview that her worship is a form of Santeria]], which is an Afro-Carribean centric religion with absolutely no roots in Spanish culture.
** [[Literature/BookOfRevelation The Beast]] and {{Satan}} are referred to as the same being in season 6. A simple look reading of Revelation will show this to be completely false. The Beast was simply a being — often equated with TheAntichrist — given permission by Satan to rule over the Earth for 42 months, and apart from having seven heads, its appearance is vastly different.

* TheseGlovesAreMadeForKillin: Being a forensics specialist, Dexter knows the value of gloves to reduce the likelihood of his capture by law enforcement. Many episodes will feature him wearing either the leather or latex kind during his murders (Apart from that one instance he wore yellow rubber household gloves along with a "Natural Born Griller" apron when he doesn't have his usual kit and is forced to improvise.). If not for killing, then for doing recon on his victims to ensure they fit the code Harry taught him.
** Most of the accomplices to Dexter have followed his lead in this trope. Namely Miguel Pardo, Lumen Pierce, [[spoiler: Debra Morgan]], and [[spoiler: Harrison Morgan.]]

He realizes she was wearing gloves from the crime scene photos before discovering a shred of a blue nitrile glove left in the garbage disposal. This evidence confirms to him that she is the culprit behind her husband's, daughter's, and the criminal she framed's deaths. Zoey later breaks into Dexter's house wearing blue nitrile gloves like the kind she wore during her murders to kill him.
