Spoiler Alert: This story contains the breakers of “Justice for All”, the finale of “Dexter: Resurrection” in Season 1, now streaming on Paramount+.
Long-time fans of “Dexter” should be happy with the “Resurrection” finale of Season 1, after the missing marks of the original series (and more recently “New Blood”) but this season has been restricted from the team's return form. Compared to Shakespeare's tragedy, the ending refers to thumbprints, hallucinations and father-son anxiety, which is enough to guarantee more of Dexter adventures in Manhattan.
Leave it to Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), trapped in the museum room of the billionaire society dean for serial killers, lying on the floor with his former colleague and now-dead friend Angel Batista (David Zayas). Quintessential hallucinatory conversations take place, as always, with Dexter's dead father Harry (James Remar, who later delivers a funny “fucking kill him” line later in the episode), who reminds him of his code, and a surprise cameo by Brian Moser — the Ice Truck Killer (Christian Camargo), aka Dexter's older brother whom he killed back in Season 1 .

In this episode, Peter Dinklage's Leon Prater finally becomes a All-Bond villain. With a mansion full of archives, cameras and a Waitstaff army, Prater not only shows himself as a collector of the killer, but also aspires to be an applicant for the Dexter Dark Passenger School for his murder of Batista. Prater and his resourceful companion Charley (UMA Thurman) had the plan to leave Dexter in the vault for three days without food and water until his death. Of course, he held a party to raise funds for the local police downstairs.
Prater and Charley didn't expect Batista to still wear his phone on his phone, and his former partner, Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) started to ring, leaving a voicemail saying he was worried about him after calling at the NYPD and learned that Batista was retired, no longer a policeman and continued to hunt down Bay Harbour, but Bay Harbour was the other guy. Quinn didn't know Batista was dead, but that was certainly a factor for next season.

So Dexter holds his phone in hand, his son Harrison (Jack Alcott), who is currently in close relationship with his girlfriend Gigi. Harrison went to the event where he was hired, but after meeting Prater two episodes ago, he refused. When Dad tries to give Harrison's instructions from the library, and the camera is on FaceTime, Harrison is busy browsing the mansion using waiter routes and vault codes. Their whispered phone tag turned to the power supply-Dexter wanted him to run, Harrison doubled- it was fun (but also frustrating), and the finale (mainly) Harrison was a worthwhile strategic partner.
Harrison arrives at the safe area and must enter an eight-digit code, and you will only have one chance before the alarm sounds and appears. The good thing about Dexter is in the room, a filing cabinet that contains the treasure trove of every serial killer in the world, including the ones Dexter killed this season. A file himself is on Prater, and the file has clues Dexter believes it will unlock the door.
So, Harrison bounced up with FaceTime's launch. Meanwhile, Charley has been wearing a chic coat and a Mocksand all season, and once she meets Harrison, it looks like she is going to kill him, Dexter hanging bait, telling her Prater is also pulling up the strings because he also has a file. Dexter threatens to send it out, and her protest is that he hasn't sent it out, she won't kill Harrison, but Dexter still has to stay there and die. She went out and dealt with Pratt.

Charley's last conversation with Dexter, then Prater, has a possible teasing in the coming seasons (maybe?). She escapes with her sick mother and tells her they are going back to “home”, no matter where.
From the vault, Batista’s phone is dying (thanks to Apple!), and after Dexter changed his idea about which number Harrison should go into, it died. But don't worry, the door opens and the two reunited. Father and son escape – sneaking through the service corridor, improvising under the nose of the NYPD – during the technical period, it was purely “dexter” and was hilarious about technology.
Dexter decided to collect all the documents he and the other killers carried. He told Harrison to leave, but Prater met him shortly after Charley resigned and resigned. Prater acted as security chief, telling him to turn off all cameras in the mansion and follow Harrison. He called Dexter back upstairs and had a gun for Harrison's head. After he begged Prater to kill him (he refused), we find Dexter slipping away from his son's “protection” two episodes ago, which leads us all to believe that his prank with his girlfriend was a condom, one of his signature needles that can put his prey to sleep. Harrison insisted and he came down.

Dexter set up a kill room in the vault and released a closing narrative in Season 4 when he killed the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) that reshapes Dexter's arc. A very grumbled prater was killed by a knife in the room. Dexter cleaned up (by the way, my wife was impressed), turned on the alarm with the bloody thumb of the prater, into the night so he could leave the room and throw it to the front of the Statue of Liberty on his boat (although there is a camera, though, though, right?). He left Batista there for police to find, with the gun on it with the print of the prater. They thought he did, he did, but no one would check Angel's phone logs and call Harrison Morgan after seeing him die? Maybe it's a clue for Quinn's arc next season. Will everyone from the Miami Metro come to New York City at once and eventually die for Dexter? Remember: Eric Stonestreet's ponytail killer is still there after the halftime break in rescue of “Hamilton.”
He puts the internal monologue perfectly as he gets rid of Prater's chopped body, and Dexter refocuses the series. Once quit and isolated, he now admits that he needs Harrison – not only a son, but a confidant. “I am exactly who I need to be. It's who you want me to be,” he told the audience in a voiceover.
But let's come to the unstoppable part. The New York Ripper case has been lurking around the periphery of the series for weeks – a booed man has been suggesting that it was one of Dexter’s life. We learn that the killer’s weapon of choice is a crowbar-like tool, his orgy ended eight years ago and now he tortures his family with a cruel late-night phone call. One of his murder weapons is revealed in Prater's weird series. In the finale, the mystery becomes obvious when Dexter discovers a document in Prater's homage to the serial killer. Above: Name. Are you ready? Don Framt.
WHO? Exactly.
There are more questions revealed than it provides. Does Prater manipulate evidence? Is Framt no one, red herring or someone we have met under other names? Currently, Dexter gives the Ripper document as a gift to detective Claudette Wallace (Kadia Saraf), a policeman who “living inhabitants” whose intuitions may be crucial in the future of the story. There are fewer closures this season than the Breadcrumb Trail in Season 2.
