What’s happening in Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5?
Let's talk story. Dexter: Resurrection picks up shortly after New Blood, with Dexter waking from a coma after being shot by his son, Harrison. That betrayal sets him on a new journey - one to find his son and right the emotional damage left behind. Now living in New York, Dexter is navigating old regrets and new dangers, especially with Angel Batista hot on his trail.
Here's the official synopsis for Episode 5:
"An encounter pushes Harrison further into his own darkness, escalating his fear of arrest. Meanwhile, as Batista closes in, Dexter pursues a dangerous connection with a seductive killer, believing they operate under a similar code."
This episode teases the arrival of a mysterious character who may mirror Dexter's twisted logic, potentially Mia LaPierre (aka Lady Vengeance), played by Krysten Ritter. Fans are already theorizing about what her arrival might mean: a deadly collaboration, or a violent standoff?
Meanwhile, Harrison's mental descent shows no sign of slowing. After discovering that Batista knows he's in New York, Dexter realizes time isn't on his side. With father and son now walking dangerously close to the edge and Batista getting ever nearer - Episode 5 could shift the course of the series entirely.
Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5 is poised to be one of the season's most explosive chapters, balancing emotional fallout with a rising sense of threat. Between a vengeful ex-detective, a seductive killer, and a son slipping out of control, Dexter's new life may soon unravel.
Catch Episode 5 on Paramount+ with Showtime this Friday, August 1, or on Showtime Sunday night.
