Who is Rita Bennett in Dexter?
The safe harbour · The Morgans
Rita Bennett (The safe harbour) is a character in Dexter, part of The Morgans. Rita Bennett is Dexter's girlfriend and, as he privately puts it, perfect — because her abusive ex-husband left her as uninterested in intimacy as Dexter pretends to be. A gentle, resilient single mother of two, she takes the relationship at face value: a sweet, slightly awkward man who is wonderful with her kids. What begins as camouflage for Dexter slowly becomes something neither of them planned — the closest thing to a real life he has ever had.
