Filled with Easter eggs, it turns out the production team are heavily hinting to us that Emma is still with Dexter in spirit, even if she’s (sob) no longer there in person.

When Dexter returns and climbs the hill with his daughter Jas after Emma’s death, the yellow flowers are still there – faintly in the background. And everybody on TikTok thinks this symbolises Emma is still with Dexter even after she’s passed. Sob.
