WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS forward for Dexter: Resurrection episode 10.
Dexter: Resurrection episode 10, “And Justice For All,” ends in true Dexter trend with Dexter Morgan dumping a severed physique in trash luggage into the ocean from a ship. This time round, the physique as soon as belonged to Leon Prater, the billionaire philanthropist, who’s revealed to have a Darkish Passenger of his personal by killing Batista in Resurrection episode 9.
After Prater trapped Dexter in his serial killer shrine vault within the penultimate episode, his plan was to let Dexter die by ravenous him to demise. Dexter contacts Harrison utilizing Batista’s telephone after a ghostly go to from his brother, Brian Moser, ridiculing him for ever believing in Harry’s Code. Harrison infiltrates Prater’s annual NYPD gala as a waiter and helps Dexter crack the code on Prater’s vault after Dexter tells Charley that Prater’s been retaining tabs on her, which leads her to give up.
Though Dexter: Original Sin was surprisingly unrenewed by Paramount, the way forward for the Dexter franchise grew to become unexpectedly unsure. Primarily based on the acclaim of Dexter: Resurrection, it is nonetheless extremely seemingly that the sequence shall be renewed, particularly as a result of there are nonetheless loads of narrative and characters to discover in a second season.
That stated, Dexter’s ultimate bow in entrance of the Statue of Liberty within the Resurrection finale is a reasonably sturdy method to shut out the franchise, particularly contemplating the divisive endings of New Blood and the unique sequence.
Dexter Kills Leon Prater To Avenge Batista’s Demise
One of many extra apparent developments that was certain to occur within the Dexter: Resurrection finale was the demise of Leon Prater. Regardless of being a well-known billionaire, Prater loses himself utterly by capturing Angel within the again 4 occasions in episode 9, unlocking what Dexter calls the Darkish Passenger’s “urge.”
As soon as Charley exited the image, Prater had nobody to return to his protection who knew of his serial killer membership and fanaticism. After recognizing Harrison within the crowd throughout a speech at his fundraising occasion, Prater ordered a safety officer to kill all of the cameras and hand him his gun. Prater was moments away from killing Harrison, nonetheless crazed by the facility and adrenaline he felt from killing Batista.
Dexter is ready to distract Prater lengthy sufficient, telling him to kill him as an alternative, to sign to Harrison to make use of the “safety” he had given him. In true Dexter type, Harrison stabs Prater with a syringe stuffed with a sedative, and the remaining is historical past for Prater. Dexter admits he was initially appreciative of Prater placing all these killers in a single room, however distinguished himself from them as a assassin with a code. Prater, just like the others, was simply downright sick, which is why he deserved to die.
Dexter Doesn’t Add Prater To His Blood Slide Assortment
Dexter provides Prater the last word insult by not together with him in his blood slide assortment, which he reunited with due to Prater’s gathering obsession. Dexter explains that he sometimes takes a trophy in order that he can keep in mind every kill, however Prater stands as an exception for what he did to Batista.
In his ultimate moments, Prater misunderstood Dexter, considering that not making him a blood slide meant that he would spare his life. Dexter, nevertheless, was not swayed in anyway by Prater’s determined guarantees to make him very rich, hilariously responding with a nonchalant, “I am good,” as he rejected Prater’s solely bargaining chip.
Prater was kind of “born in blood” like Dexter, Brian, and Harrison, however crossed a critical line by killing Batista. Had he been extra tactful, he may have killed Dexter and brought credit score for taking out the true Bay Harbor Butcher. As a substitute, he finally ends up on Dexter’s kill desk and finally within the waters of New York’s Higher Bay.
Wallace Discovers The New York Ripper’s Identification
After an iconic dance scene to her theme track “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, Detective Wallace lastly discovers the true identification of the New York Ripper serial killer – a person named Don Framt. Dexter leaves his file behind in Prater’s vault, the place she, Detective Oliva, and different NYPD officers uncover Batista’s physique and Prater’s homicide weapon.
Dexter seemingly wasn’t simply doing Wallace a favor by abandoning the NY Ripper’s file. As a substitute, he knew it will get Wallace off his again since she can be so consumed by capturing this “white whale” of her regulation enforcement profession. Wallace and Oliva will seemingly have numerous questions on what Batista was doing in Prater’s vault. In the event that they join this to the truth that the Bay Harbor Butcher’s blood slides are lacking, Wallace might begin to imagine Batista’s idea about Dexter in any case.
Charley Flees New York Metropolis With Her Sick Mom
Charley’s loyalty to Prater is revealed to be motivated by retaining her sick mom alive with the very best therapy, which Prater was paying for. Nonetheless, that association wasn’t sufficient for Prater to utterly belief Charley, because the file that Dexter finds on her proves that Prater wished to utterly personal her. This revelation sends Charley strolling, leaving NYC for good and transferring again to Amherst (presumably in Massachusetts) together with her mom.
Charley will need to have organized to take a very good chunk of Prater’s cash together with her to make sure her mom would nonetheless obtain top-notch care. It is unclear what she’ll find yourself doing for work or if she’ll even return in a possible Dexter: Resurrection season 2. There may be the chance that she and Dexter crew as much as take out the remaining at-large killers from Prater’s recordsdata, like Al or Rapunzel, particularly if Dexter chooses to distance himself from Harrison subsequent season for his security after almost getting killed.
How Resurrection’s Season 1 Ending Units Up Season 2
Dexter: Resurrection proved to be an exceptional installment and a incredible growth of the franchise, which is why it completely deserves a second season. The bond between Harrison and Dexter has by no means been tighter, and the brand new solid of characters, a number of of whom are already lifeless, made for an extremely thrilling and thrilling watch.
The most important query for Resurrection season 2 shall be whether or not or not it takes place in New York Metropolis. It could make sense for Dexter to go after Al first in Wisconsin – I can already see Al biking behind one other “ponytail woman” just for him to appreciate it is Charley, main him to Dexter’s kill desk. From there, the sequence may tackle extra of an “open highway” strategy, since I believe Quinn goes to reach in New York after Batista’s demise. This might make it unsafe for Dexter and Harrison to be in Manhattan.
Alternatively, Wallace and Quinn may meet at Batista’s funeral in Miami. This might even convey different OG Dexter characters like Tom Matthews into the fold. The sequence may swap again to creating Miami its main location if Miami Metro bands collectively and works with the NYPD and the FBI to unravel Batista’s homicide case, particularly if extra proof arises that he was proper about Dexter being the Bay Harbor Butcher.
Dexter might imagine it is secure to return to Miami with Harrison, solely to find that Quinn and a complete new squad of Miami Metro murder detectives are coming for him. Now that Unique Sin will not be round to present viewers that nostalgic unique sequence ambiance, sending Dexter again to Miami in Dexter: Resurrection may make for an additional riveting season.
