Get a first look at next week’s episode, “The Kill Room Where It Happens.”
We’re officially seven episodes deep into Dexter: Resurrection, and one thing’s certain — this season is anything but predictable. Just when you think you’ve figured out where the story is headed, the writers pull the rug out from under you, leaving fans scrambling to rethink their theories.
Following the intense events of Episode 7, “Course Correction,” all eyes are now locked on the upcoming chapter. Certain jaw-dropping moments from the latest episode have left viewers buzzing about how this season could possibly end. Episode 8 is titled “The Kill Room Where It Happens” — a clever nod to the Broadway hit Hamilton and its famous number “The Room Where It Happens.”
And if the Episode 7 promo was misleading in its teases, Episode 8’s trailer flips the script entirely — delivering direct hints, shocking reveals, and potential spoilers that will have every Dexter fan counting down the days.
Dexter Prepares a Kill Room for Al Jolly
After the chaos of recent episodes — including the deaths of Lowell, Mia, Gareth #1, and Gareth #2 at Leon Prater’s ill-fated dinner party in Episode 4 — Dexter is wasting no time returning to what he does best. His next target: Al Jolly (played by Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet).
But can Dexter pull off this kill with the same precision he’s shown with his other victims this season? Or will Al somehow turn the tables before Dexter’s signature blade comes down?
Batista’s Plan Pays Off
Detective Angel Batista’s gut instinct may finally be paying dividends. In Episode 7, he slipped his “tracer” (a.k.a. AirPod) into Dexter’s car, determined to track his movements. From the looks of the promo, Batista’s gamble works — and he seems convinced he now has enough proof that:
- The Bay Harbor Butcher is back
- He’s in New York City
- And he’s none other than his former friend and colleague, Dexter Morgan
This sets the stage for a possible explosive confrontation.
Dexter’s New Disguise: Pantyhose
In a surprising — and darkly funny — moment, the trailer shows Dexter donning a pantyhose mask to conceal his face while dealing with his next victim. Longtime fans will recognize this as a rare throwback: the last time we saw Dexter used a similar disguise was all the way back in Season 1 of the original series. It’s a subtle, nostalgic nod that’s sure to make fans grin.
Mark your calendars: Episode 8 drops on Friday, August 22, 2025. With the Season 1 finale approaching, the stakes are higher than ever — and if this promo is any indication, things are about to get even more chaotic.
