Dexter Resurrects But There Are No Repercussions
Dexter: Resurrection registers the franchise’s first instance of its titular tular murderer refraining from taking a life within the premiere. That said, several victims of his past misdeeds appear in a phantasmagorical dream. Episode 1, “A Beating Heart…,” begins with ghostly figures, Trinity Killer, Miguel Prado, and others — urging Dexter to embrace his remaining humanity and repair his bond along with his son.
After awakening from a ten-week coma, Dexter learns from Iron Lake’s latest police chief that Angela has withdrawn her charges. Batista arrives and corroborates this retraction, insisting Angela denied Dexter’s identity because the Bay Harbor Butcher. Distrustful of Batista’s motives, Dexter flees the hospital upon hearing Harrison could also be tied to a brand new killing.
Harrison is Haunted by a “Dead” Dexter
Harrison, now living in Latest York City and dealing in a hotel, befriends Elsa Rivera. Still tormented by the presumption he killed his father, Harrison spirals — using drugs. When he encounters hotel guest Ryan Foster preparing to commit sexual assault, he fails to content his urges and murders him. Channeling his father’s methods, Harrison dismembers the body in nine pieces and discards it in garbage bags, only to guide NYPD to his tail.
After Dexter arrives in Latest York to watch Harrison, avoiding direct contact along with his son, he eavesdrops on Detective Claudette Wallace discussing the case’s forensic evaluation, and successfully removes potential evidence implicating Harrison.
The Dark Passenger Strikes in Latest York — But It’s Not Dexter’s
Episode 2, “Camera Shy,” introduces a brand new killer targeting UrCar drivers. Dexter befriends UrCar driver Blessing Kamara and in addition decides to rent his basement and registers as a UrCar driver. He also meets Kamara’s colleague who had survived an attack caught on video but didn’t report it to NYPD resulting from improprieties pertaining to his visa.
Dexter, sophomorically infuriated to learn the murderer uses his alias, Dark Passenger, scrutinizes the footage, finding the killer in an infrared hoodie and carrying an worker backpack from Bridge Data Network.
While combing through worker records, he finds Ronald Schmidt, a person with no digital footprint, donning the suspicious hoodie as he attempts to board a cab he hadn’t hailed.
Dexter saves the intended victim and pursues Schmidt through the subway, but collapses from his lingering injuries. Because the chase falters, he vows to kill the “Dark Passenger.”
What’s Going On With Leon Prater and Charley
In her transient introduction, Charley (Uma Thurman), operating under Leon Prater (Peter Dinklage), prowls through empty homes, uncovering trophies from a contract killer she once employed. When he defies her, Charley dispenses with him herself, though her true motives remain shrouded for now.
