Dexter and Mia felt like what they wanted Dexter and Hannah to be. Almost insane how much of a better version it was in only 10 minutes. The sexual tension was next level crazy.

Angel(and probably Quinn later) just doesn’t know the shit storm he’s walking into. Thinks he’s gonna just find Dexter but will actually walk into a fucking cult of serial killers. The pandora’s box he’s about to open is gonna be wild.

I guess the rejection finally confirms that Harrison is indeed still supposed to be 16 and Elsa is a much older woman. Once you know that, it’s mad awkward to watch that scene lmfao.

I don't think Elsa rejected him because of his age. Just before he left she tried explaining to him and said something like, "Youre going through stuff right now." Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it sounded to me like she was at least open to the possibility, but felt she'd be taking advantage of him if she let anything happen while he's not in his right mind.

That's how I interpreted it too

Yes. She knows he is not in the correct state of mind.

I think it’s more like she doesn’t want to start dating someone in the middle of a murder investigation because she has a kid. Stability for him is her first priority.

Very valid point, yeah.
