What happens to the kids after Rita dies?
After the tragic death of Rita Bennett, the lives of her children, Astor, Cody, and her infant son Harrison, took distinct paths as Dexter Morgan grappled with the responsibility of their upbringing.
Following Rita's murder, Dexter made the difficult decision to send Astor and Cody away, feeling he was unable to properly raise them alongside his own son, Harrison.
Astor and Cody's New Home
- Relocation: Astor and Cody, Rita's children from her previous marriage to Paul Bennett, were sent to live with their paternal grandparents in Orlando, Florida. This move placed them in the care of Paul's parents.
- Future Appearances: While Cody largely exited the main storyline, Astor made only a few brief appearances throughout the remainder of the Dexter series, primarily returning for specific family events or milestones.
Harrison's Fate
- Remaining with Dexter: Unlike Astor and Cody, infant Harrison, Dexter's biological son with Rita, remained in Dexter's care. Dexter continued to raise Harrison, navigating the complexities of parenthood while maintaining his secret life.
This arrangement allowed Dexter to focus his attention on Harrison while ensuring Astor and Cody were in a stable environment with their biological family members in Florida.
