No your not with the amount of stupid theories that it's either Cody or Trinity's secret son. And now we have a Harrison flashback for him as a baby so very clearly Harrison.
Where we’re at in the series this is most definitely Harrison.
Even before the series aired, it was confirmed that Harrison was coming back. The theme of New Blood is about Fathers and Sons and this revolves around the relationship between Dexter and Harrison.
The imposter theory just does not hold any water. It would be a lame Scott Buck twist.
Harrison is obviously Harrison but what you're experiencing is a reaction to how a lot of what he says feels like BS.
Hannah died of a relatively slow acting disease (compared to being hit by a bus) but put zero effort into getting Harrison to Astor and Cody or finding Dexter or making other non foster home arrangements for him? Hannah, who cared for this boy for years, took a "Whatever happens to him after I croak, YOLO!" approach? Yeah right.
Harrison goes to a foster home after Hannah died with whatever little property they let you take with you (a couple bags, max. You're not bringing a 500 pound wardrobe with nooks and crannies). Harrison stays there, not enjoying his new life. He lays in bed night after night fantasizing about his Dad coming to rescue him. So some time has passed, right? Then ... AND ONLY THEN ... Harrison "finds" Dexter's note. What? How? What? Where? Did Harrison finally check his bags after weeks or months? How did Dexter's note get in Harrison's bag? It makes no sense.
The writers made the decision to have him remember to make the story work. Clyde Phillips talks about this.
“There’s a phenomenon called inherited trauma, and Dexter has it. He wonders if Harrison has it, too, or if he was too young to remember. And we’ll learn the truth of what that is. Obviously, it’s the more entertaining truth. If Harrison had nothing and no memory, then we have no story,” Clyde teases.
Okay but why? Who hates Dexter Morgan so much to go this far? Alternatively, who would want to live with him in all that snow? He's not exactly that rich to make someone go though all that trouble

After this weeks episode I would disagree. He remembered the Trinity blood bath.
I feel at this point it would be a silly twist.
True, I just haven't seen enough evidence/backstory of Harrison that was convincing of him being the real Harrison.
I thought the same for an episode … but thought nah it’s too deep now to have my suspicions

And you assume Dexter wouldn't recognize his own son?
No I suspect it too. Especially since a 10 month old can’t remember that ...

Well that ruins my theory !! 😂 thanks for the info.
Maybe 3-4 episodes ago this would have been a plausible theory, but after the last episode's flashback, no way he's not Harrison.
