Get your first look at the penultimate episode of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1.
A brand-new episode of Dexter: Resurrection is now streaming on Paramount+ Premium, and ahead of its release, Showtime has unveiled the official promo trailer for next week’s highly anticipated installment.
Episode 8, titled “The Kill Room Where It Happens,” may have been the shortest episode of the season, but it delivered some of the most intense and unforgettable moments yet, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. The episode set the stage for what promises to be a truly explosive Season 1 finale. And as longtime Dexter viewers know, nothing about this series is ever predictable—making the road ahead even more thrilling.
Now, all eyes turn to Episode 9, “Touched by an Ángel”—the penultimate episode of Season 1. The moment the title was revealed, fan theories immediately began swirling, especially because it directly references none other than Detective Ángel Batista.
After the shocking cliffhanger of Dexter: Resurrection Episode 8, the stakes have never been higher. Angel Batista’s relentless pursuit of the truth is intensifying, and Dexter Morgan now knows one thing for certain: Batista will not stop until justice is served. For Dexter, that means he may be forced to take drastic, even dangerous, measures to protect not only himself—but also Harrison, whose future is hanging in the balance.
The newly released Episode 9 promo teases Batista’s obsession reaching a breaking point. His quest for justice could cost him everything as he edges closer to uncovering Dexter’s dark past. But standing in his way are Detectives Claudette Wallace and Melvin Oliva. Instead of backing him, they dismiss Batista as nothing more than a retired Miami Metro Captain who’s lost in old ghosts. Their lack of support leaves Batista isolated in a fight that feels more personal with each passing moment.
Meanwhile, another dangerous thread is unraveling. Leon Prater has finally realized something is terribly wrong with “Ronald Schmidt.” The truth didn’t come from him directly but from his sharp and loyal second-in-command, Charley. Determined to protect her boss, she dug deep, uncovered the deception, and exposed Schmidt’s true identity.
This revelation has set off alarm bells for Dexter. The fact that Prater now knows about Harrison—and that Dexter has a son—fills him with rage. With the fragile father-son relationship finally beginning to blossom, the last thing Dexter wants is outside interference. But Prater’s discovery could spark an explosive conflict that changes everything moving forward.
The big question now is: how far will Dexter go to silence those closing in on him, and will Batista finally be the one to drag his dark secrets into the light?
