Do You Take Dexter Morgan? - S3-E12

Other mistake: The marriage certificate for Rita's first marriage shows her date of birth as 04-19-1989 and Dexter states she married at 16. The marriage date is 08-16-1989, when she would have been 4 months old. She also would only be 17 at the start of the series (2006) if she was born in 1989. (00:13:45)

Easy as Pie - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Dexter and Rita are having dinner at Miguel's house, his wife drops a glass. She sets 2 other glasses on the island in the kitchen. After a cut to another shot the 2 glasses are now on the counter by the sink, before she bends down and picks up the glass she dropped. (00:39:50)

I Had a Dream - S3-E11

Factual error: When Maria is looking at Miguel's file, we see his Florida Driver's License. The expires date is wrong. FL driver's licenses expire on the person's birthday, not on the day the license was issued.

Go Your Own Way - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dexter is playing a video game on Miguel's office computer, Miguel is shown to close the game down. But in the next shot the game is visible on the screen before disappearing again in the shot afterwards. Additionally, the video game shown is Halo 3, which is only available on Xbox 360. When Miguel 'closes' the game, he is actually alt-tabbing from a "TWVidpla" window to "Plaindesktop.bmp," and a laptop battery indicator is visible. (00:12:55)

Our Father - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dexter and Vince are next to the dead girl, in the side shot, the tied string from her top is visible on her back and her hair is to the side. But in the overhead shot of her, her hair is covering the tied string and spread more over her back.

Our Father - S3-E1

Other mistake: When Debra is talking about her new haircut, she states that she has changed her hair "for the first time since she was 8." However in various flashbacks throughout the show she has drastically different hairstyles from her 'usual'.

Do You Take Dexter Morgan? - S3-E12

Other mistake: Debra is checking her email for the traffic cam photo of George King. The sender is labeled "Miami Metro Robbery Div." and the subject is "Photo of George King." However, after opening the email, the send is then a malformed email address of Det.Robertson.Robbery|MiamiMetroPolice.web with a recipient address of Debra.Morgan.Homicide|MiamiMetroPolice.wed (wed, not web), with a subject of "B. O. L. O. Match - George King." (00:26:38)

Chemistry - S7-E7

Isaak Sirko: You didn't kill Victor out of vengeance. I have a feeling you're a different kind of animal. The question is...what kind are you, Dexter Morgan?
Dexter: The kind who hunted your friend down and strapped him to a board and put a plastic bag on his head and crushed his skull with a fire extinguisher. The kind who's gonna do the same thing to you, give or take the fire extinguisher.

Return to Sender - S1-E6

Trivia: (POSSIBLE SPOILER) When Masuka brings up the list of doctors authorized to get the M99, Dexter removes his alias note that Dexter's fake alias (used to get the M99 tranquilizer) is Dr. Patrick Bateman. Patrick Bateman is the lead character of "American Psycho". This was most likely an intentional "easter egg" of sorts within the show.

Father Knows Best - S1-E9

Question: The DNA test is a match, but later in the 2-3rd season we discover that Harry (foster father) had an affair with the real mother. Is Harry the real father and takes him but not his brother in because of that or not?

Answer: No, Harry is not the real father. While he did have an affair with Dexter's biological mother (Laura Moser), this was when she was his C.I. Dexter was already born at that point.
