Dexter Morgan’s return to centre stage ended in suitably bloody form – with more than one body hitting the slab of our favourite serial killer in the Dexter: Resurrection finale.
With Harrison in danger, the New York Ripper case still stumping the detectives, and suspicions growing around Dexter himself, there was a lot to wrap up as the show sped towards its ending.
With season 2 already confirmed, here’s how things played out, and sets the stage for what's to come
Dexter: Resurrection ending explained – do Dexter and Harrison survive?
After shooting Angel, Prater is ecstatic, but henchman Charley (Uma Thurman) warns that he’s treading a dangerous path. Deciding to keep Dexter locked in the vault, they conclude it will take him up to three days to die there if they left him.
But Prater’s not as organised as he thinks, and Dexter gets a lifeline when Angel’s phone rings. While he doesn’t answer the phone to old pal Quinn, he is able to access the phone and calls Harrison for help.
As he waits, Dexter finds a file cabinet filled with folders of serial killers in hopes it could hold the key to the door code. He discovers today is the same date Cooper Morris, another serial killer, murdered Prater’s parents.
Threatening to AirDrop photos to the police upstairs, Dexter tells her he’ll destroy the evidence on her in exchange for letting Harrison go and opening the vault. Instead, she lets Harrison go, but tells Dexter he has to die – and if he dares release the evidence, she’ll track Harrison down and kill him.
However, they quickly split again to get out undetected, with Harrison returning to the gala.
What happens at the gala?
Charley tells Prater she quits, and that she’ll disappear and won’t tell a soul about what he’s been up to, but he has to keep up her mother’s medical care. If he doesn’t, she’ll go “scorched earth”.
By the end of the night, the gala raised $11.4million – which with Prater’s match vow, comes to $22.8million. But Prater’s nowhere to be seen.
Detective Wallace wants to leave, but just as she’s about to walk out the door, she’s convinced to stay by hearing her favourite song, Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees, and hits the dance floor instead.
What happens to Leon Prater?
So Dexter offers him the chance to kill him instead – making him the ‘Apex Predator’ who took out the Bay Harbour Butcher. He entices him with the idea of leaving Harrison to deal with the consequences of a murdered family, just like he and Prater have lived with all these years.
When he awakens, he is strapped to Brian Moser’s rack in his vault, wrapped in cellophane. Knowing he’s about to become Dexter’s next victim, he pleads for his life, offering any amount of money Dexter wants.
Dexter chops up Prater’s body, then cleans and replaces all of Prater’s memorabilia, and leaves with Prater in body bags, using the dead man’s thumb to get past the fingerprint locks.
Who is the New York Ripper?
They find Angel’s body, a gun with Prater’s fingerprints all over it, and his fully-stocked murder vault.
Looking through a litter of Prater’s files on the floor, one finally identifies the New York Ripper as a Mr Don Framt – someone we’ve not knowingly met yet.
What lies ahead of Dexter Resurrection season 2?
Successfully covering his tracks once again, the police are working under the assumption Angel discovered Prater’s vault, and Prater killed him before fleeing the city.
Charley takes her mother out of her nursing home, and they set off for a new life together.
Opening a bag, it’s revealed Dexter stole a number of folders, including that of ‘Rapunzel’ killer Al (Eric Stonestreet), and they look set to be next on his list of twisted justice.
