Dexter Dupree is Jeffery's disliked stepfather, who is a publisher for a car magazine, "Lines on the Road". He also enjoys golfing, and has a prominent smirk (which makes its way onto Skye, Jane, and Jeffrey's archery target). These three children also name one of their soccer balls Dexter so they could kick him around (the other ball being named "Pencey Military Academy"). He marries Brenda Tifton and they go on a worldwide honeymoon.
