Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead for Dexter: Resurrection Episode 8.
Dexter: Resurrection Episode 8, “The Kill Room Where It Happens,” Features a Dangerously Close Call BetWene Dexter Morgan and His Miami Metro Colleague and Friend, Angel Batisa. IT ALSO Results in Leon Prater Discovering More Background Info On “RED” Than Dexter Wauld Have Liked, Potentially Placing Harrison in the Crossfire.
Dexter’s SEASON-Long Plan to Tak Out All the Mether’s Kill Club Comes to An End Wen Eric Stonestreet’s Al, Known to the FBI as Rapunzel, Leaves New York City Unexpectly.

Dexter is Shockingly Messy & Uncalculated in Resurrection Episode 8

One of the More Interesting Developments in Resurrection Episode 8 Is Dexter’s Accidental Besing of Blessing’s Trust, Resulting in Him Telling Blessing’s Daughter that HER FATHER WAS KIDNAPPED BY A WARLORD TO BE A CHILD SOLDIER. This Reveals a New, Much Darker Side of Blessing That Supports the Theory That He Could Be the New York Ripper AFTER ALL.
Dexter was notably unhinged in Resurrection Episode 7, Leading Him to All But Confess He was the bay harbor butcher to the Batista and offfer Blood Spatter Analysis to the NYPD detective who suspects Harrison of Murder. In Resurrection Episode 8, Dexter Gets uncharacteristically sloppy, revealing Blessing’s Biggest Secret and Letting Vinny Escape from His Kill Room, Only to Nearly Caught in the Act by Batista.
It ‘Important to Note that dexter Had literally just been in vinny’s office in an attempt to confront Him About the Black Mold in Elsa’s Apartment. Both Vinny and His Assistant Lyanne Saw Dexter’s Face and His Aggresses Intrusion. In this way, dexter seams to have made Himself uncharacteristically vulnerable by taking risk to Harrison. Letting Vinny Escape Could End up Coming Back to Haount Him by the End of Resurrection season 1.
Most Significantly of All, Dexter Loses His Guard Long Enough for Charley and Prater to Discover Harrison. They are now step closer to uncovering the Truth he is actually dexter morgan, and eventually the true bay Harbor Butcher, whic could feasibly play to or against dexter’s favor.
PERTER COULD BE UPSET THAT DEXTER LOED TO HIM SINCE, AS NOTED IN EPISODE 7, HONESTY IS THE BEST policy with Him. On the other hand, prater is Such a serial killer fanatic that he could overhane over to be in the presentation of the Legendary Bay Harbor Butcher, unless dex canhow keep up his “red” persons.
Quinn’s Surpringly Dispassionate Return Could Spell Trouble for Batista’s Case

Consding all that that batista and quinn have been through together at Miami Metro in the original Dexter Series, Its Tugh to Watch Quinn Hand Over Information About Batista to Detective Wallace So Willingly. ITH’S DISAPPOINTING AND SOOMWHAT ODD THAT QUINN DIDN’T STAND UP FOR AGEL MORE, OR AT LEAST EXPRESS MORE CONCERN ABOUT HIS OBJECTIVE IN NEW YORK.
That’s though quinn didn’t add Much context in defense of Angel, Dexter’s Gaslighting of Batista’s Well-Being Has convinced Wallace where to have lost all credibility. Now that Wallace Knows Batista is No Longer an Active Police Office, there’s No Way She Will Believe A Word he Says, Fit Stepping Into Dexter’s Kill Room.
There’s frankly too Too history between Batista and quinn for this type of uncaring responds from quinn in Resurrection Episode 8. It”s True, Batista Didn’t Tell Quinn Why He Was Going to New York, But Quinn Didn’t Ask if something was WONG. Quinn Could end up being what Batista was in New Bloodgoing after dexter in Resurrection Season 2 if something happy to angel in season 1.
This quinn scnene, though brief, may be the point where the cracks be begin to show in Dexter: Resurrection. For a franchise that is known for infamously not sticking the landing on its multiple finals attempts, this could be the beginning of an unfortunate to be another divisive Dexter Season Ending.
That Said, there’s the still plenty of intrigue left in Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 Now that Prater Knows About Harrison and May Connect the Dots About Dexter’s True Identity. His Reaction Will Determine Everynding in the Final Two Episodes of the Season, As Will Wallace’s Response to Discovering Angel is retried from the Force.
