Promo Highlights and What to Expect from Episode 5 of Dexter: Resurrection

Let’s take a glimpse at the new footage from the upcoming episode.

We're officially halfway through Dexter: Resurrection, and Episode 5 is just around the corner. Titled “Murder H**ny”, this next installment promises major twists, intense character dynamics, and plenty of the psychological tension fans have come to expect. But before diving headfirst into the promo highlights, let’s quickly recap where Episode 4, “Call Me Red”, left us — and what it means for what’s coming next.

Where We Left Off in Episode 4: “Call Me Red”

The fourth episode was a turning point. It introduced nearly every major player who will shape the second half of the season. Here are the key developments:

1. Dexter Morgan attended Leon Prater’s dinner party, where he met four other guests described as “like-minded individuals.”

2. Among them was Mia Lapierre, who shares a unique chemistry with Dexter — possibly even a shared code.

3. Dexter eliminated Lowell, a disturbing guest from the gathering, continuing his vigilante streak.

4. Angel Batista met with Harrison, expressing concern for both him and his late father — while still keeping Dexter’s survival a secret.

5. Dexter reunited with Harrison just as the latter was about to turn himself in, creating a high-stakes emotional moment.

With these threads in play, the Episode 5 promo offers even more intrigue. Let’s break down the biggest moments and hints from the preview of "Murder H**rny.”

Episode 5 Promo Breakdown: Key Highlights

1. Harrison Calls Dexter a “Horror Movie Villain”

In what appears to be the opening scene of the episode, Harrison confronts Dexter in the basement apartment Dexter is renting from Blessing Kamara. The mood is tense — and understandably so. Harrison’s world has been turned upside down, and now, armed with what Batista told him, he sees his father in a whole new light.

Calling Dexter a “horror movie villain” not only references Dexter’s violent past but also signals Harrison’s emotional turmoil. He’s questioning everything, and his trust is fragile at best.

2. “What Makes You Think I Want You in My Life?”

Harrison’s doubts deepen. At one point in the promo, he sharply questions Dexter’s place in his life. While trailers often mislead, this line hits hard and seems to reflect a real emotional struggle. Dexter may be ready to reconnect, but Harrison’s not sure he can — or should — let him back in.

3. Dexter Knows About Ryan Foster

A big moment: Dexter reveals he knows about Ryan Foster. Harrison is visibly shocked, realizing once again that his father is always one step ahead. This revelation could open the door for Dexter to help Harrison shift the blame — possibly by framing someone else by using the watch Ryan left behind.

4. Mia Takes Matters Into Her Own Hands

A brief but striking scene shows Mia attacking a man she suspects of being a predator. She’s clearly following a code of her own — and she even tells Dexter she wants to collaborate on a kill. We see a bottle of M99 (Dexter’s signature anesthetic) flash on screen. Does Mia already know who Dexter really is? Or is she still under the impression he’s “Red”?

5. Dexter Debates Telling Mia the Truth

In a private moment — with the ghost of Harry offering advice — Dexter considers revealing his true identity to Mia. He’s clearly developing strong feelings for her, and her shared moral code tempts him to open up. But Harry suggests a different path: tell Prater instead.

This moment will likely define how far Dexter is willing to trust Mia and how much he’s willing to risk to protect his double life.

6. The NYPD Starts Connecting the Dots

Thanks to Batista’s visit to the NYPD in Episode 4, Detective Claudette Wallace is now on the case. A quick scene shows a police board covered in surveillance photos of Harrison in New York, alongside Dexter Morgan’s mugshot from the New Blood finale. The hunt for evindence is clearly on.

7. Charley Visits a Serial Killer in Prison

Uma Thurman’s Charley is seen visiting a known serial killer — possibly one who attended Prater’s secret gatherings in the past. According to Mia, several of these “like-minded” individuals have ended up in prison… or worse. Prater himself even told Charley he hired her to “make his problems go away,” strongly implying that loose ends are being eliminated — permanently.

Final Thoughts: Is “Murder H**ny” the Game-Changer?

Episode 5 is shaping up to be a pivotal chapter in Dexter: Resurrection. With trust breaking down, secrets surfacing, and alliances being tested, the tension is at an all-time high. Will Dexter come clean? Will Harrison accept him? And what is Prater really hiding?
