Season 1, Episode 9 - "Father Knows Best"
25 November, 2006
Dexter learns that his biological father, Joe Driscoll, whom he though had died thirty years before, has actually died recently and had left all of his belongings to Dexter, including his house. Dexter travels to the house with Rita, while Debra and Rudy arrive at the house to assist him. Dexter gets on well with Rudy, but suspects there is something strange about Joe Driscoll's death, and about the identity of Dexter's biological mother. Rudy is insistent on attending the weekend trip, and one of Joe's neighbors thinks that Rudy looks familiar. Flashbacks to Dexter's childhood show his questioning his foster father Harry (James Remar) about his real parents, and Dexter finds that Mr. Driscoll donated some of his blood to the young Dexter for surgery. Meanwhile, Paul begins to slide back into his old abusive habits when he suspects Rita is preventing him from having unsupervised visits to their children.
