There ’s also another particular that could indicateOriginal Sinwill dive even deeper into Dexter ’s use of M99 . In the original show , Dexter used the alias " Patrick Bateman , M.D. " to use for regular supply of M99 , since it was a nitty-gritty control by the DEA.Dexter ’s already using Patrick Bateman as an alias inOriginal Sin , which could be a sign that the show will explicate how Dexter was able to fake medical licence to get M99 more reliably . Even if it does n’t , though , Dexter : Original Sinhas seemingly put the M99 vs. ketamine disputation to bed , three years afterDexter : New Bloodended .
