Another Saturday, another recap video.
Showtime and Paramount+ have released a 28-minute recap of Dexter Season 5 on YouTube, highlighting the key events of the show's first season following Clyde Phillips' departure as showrunner.
In Season 5, Dexter grapples with the loss of Rita, who was murdered by the Trinity Killer. Struggling with guilt and grief, Dex continues his double life as a blood-spatter analyst by day and vigilante serial killer by night. While commiting a kill, he encounters Lumen, a woman who has been kidnapped and tortured by a group of men. She becomes his unlikely partner when she insists on seeking revenge against those who harmed her.
Together, they uncover a human trafficking ring led by Jordan Chase and his associates, who are responsible for Lumen's abuse. As Dex helps Lumen track down and eliminate the men, he forms an emotional bond with her, finding solace in their shared quest for justice. However, Debra gets closer to discovering the truth about the murders, while Dexter manages to hide his secret. In the end, Lumen decides to leave after achieving her revenge, leaving Dex to face his dark impulses alone once more.
