Dexter: Resurrection Episode 6 recap - Double the trouble, double the killers

Dexter: Resurrection is back with Episode 6, and things have never been this intense. In Episode 5, we saw our favorite serial killer juggling too many knives, figuratively and almost literally, with Harrison’s moral struggles, Mia’s unpredictable game, and Leon Prater’s shadowy network tightening around everyone. Episode 6 picks up right where the tension left off.

Last week ended with plenty of unanswered questions, namely, Mia’s intentions, Harrison’s internal storm, and if Dexter could keep playing Red without blowing his cover. Dexter: Resurrection Episode 6 wastes no time getting straight into emotional beats and reveals.

Yes, we get a lot of twists and turns. They are messy but fun. We get father-son bonding, a dash of detective suspicion, some poison on the rocks, and an ending that will make you go back and rewatch every Gemini clue so far. So, let us get right into the recap of Episode 6, because Dexter’s world just got a lot more complicated.

Dexter: Resurrection - Funerals, forks, and the Gemini Killer

This Dexter: Resurrection episode kicks off with Dexter learning that Prudence has passed away, which means attending her funeral. Harrison insists on tagging along, saying he knows what funerals feel like. We even get a surprisingly sweet father and son tie-tying moment, where Harrison admits he’s glad Dexter’s back and won’t disappear again. It’s almost wholesome.

Meanwhile, Charley (Uma Thurman) finds Red’s apartment and it looks like nobody has lived there in a while. She reports this to Prater, who later calls Dexter right in the middle of the funeral and tells “Red” to meet him.

But before Dexter can get there, Detective Wallace and Aviva discover that Mia had been planning her first kill in New York City, making them question Ryan Foster’s real killer in Dexter: Resurrection. Angel Batista jumps in like the seasoned pro he is, suggesting that the Bay Harbor Butcher couldn’t have done it (coma and all), but his son Harrison could be a suspect. He decides to join their upcoming Mia interview to see if she can identify Dexter.

Prater’s meeting turns into a shady little discussion with Dexter, Al, and Gareth. While they wonder if Mia might talk, Prater reveals his FBI connections and assures them they would get a heads-up if she did. Dexter starts tailing Gareth and ends up in a bookstore. There, he finds a bookmark with “8PM” scrawled on it. However, just as Dexter pieces it together, he spots someone watching him from the street. Then Gareth confronts him, and Dexter plays the “big fan of Gemini” card before slipping poison into his drink.

On the Harrison side in Dexter: Resurrection, we see his soft spot for Elsa’s son during an asthma attack and his rage when landlord Vinny ignores the black mold issue. He doesn’t act on his violent impulse and later tells Dexter over lunch, earning a proud “you did the right thing” from Dad.

Then, we see that Dexter’s busy making Gareth his next victim. Mid-cleanup after killing him, Blessing knocks on the door, forcing Dexter into hiding the body. After a quick emotional exchange about Blessing’s mother, Dexter burns the Gemini body, only for Harry to remind him it’s time to really figure out Harrison’s needs.

On the other hand, the detectives never get to question Mia, or Lady Vengeance, because they find her hanging in her cell. Suspiciously, a man there looks exactly like the one Charley had paid in the underground gambling den. This tells us it was a Leon Prater cover-up.

Dexter learns this over the radio while heading to meet Prater, where Al, Charlie, and a helicopter are all waiting, for Gareth. When Gareth finally arrives, Dexter freezes because the man he just killed steps out of a car. The truth is the Gemini Killer isn’t one man. They’re twins. And that “note” in the library was actually a message to his brother in Dexter: Resurrection.
