The official synopsis for the final episode of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 is here!
Only two episodes remain before the explosive conclusion of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, and it’s already clear that this revival is delivering moments unlike anything the franchise has ever done before. Nearly 20 years after Dexter first premiered, the series has managed to keep its iconic formula intact—while also pushing the story into bold, unpredictable territory.
With Episode 9, titled “Touched by an Ángel” (read its synopsis here), about to air, fans are deep in speculation mode. Who will survive? Who won’t? And how will the season’s final showdown unfold? If there’s one thing we’ve learned under showrunners Clyde Phillips and Scott Reynolds, it’s that Dexter: Resurrection thrives on subverting expectations. Just when you think you’ve figured it out—the show pulls the rug out from under you.
And now, with the season finale arriving Friday, September 5, fans are bracing for a game-changing conclusion. Unlike Dexter: New Blood, which was designed as a limited series, Resurrection has already been confirmed to continue beyond Season 1. Reports suggest the writers’ room for Season 2 will be opening soon, meaning we’re not just getting closure, but the next chapter of Dexter Morgan’s story.
But before that, all eyes are on the finale, Episode 10: “And Justice For All…” Showtime and Paramount+ have released the official synopsis, and while it doesn’t spoil much, it teases some heavy consequences and a clash that could redefine the series going forward.
Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, Episode 10 – “And Justice For All…”
Official Synopsis:
“Charley’s allegiance to Prater is pushed to its limit, forcing her to make a choice. Dexter and Harrison find themselves in a final confrontation, facing the consequences of their darkness. Season finale.”
Charley vs. Prater: A Brewing Storm
The finale synopsis confirms what many fans suspected: Charley’s uneasy partnership with Prater is on the verge of collapse. Her instincts have been right before—particularly after the events at Leon’s private castle involving Red and Gareth—yet it seems her doubts are only widening the rift. Whatever goes down in Episode 9 will clearly escalate tensions, setting up a dangerous choice for Charley.
And with Prater’s history of “taking care” of anyone who steps out of line, disobedience could mean more than just getting fired.
Prater’s Choice – Loyalty or Elimination?
If Charley crosses a line, Prater will be forced to act. Will he silence her permanently, or could she turn the tables on him? Given his ruthless nature, the odds don’t look good for her survival, but if Resurrection has taught us anything, it’s that assumptions rarely hold up for long.
Dexter & Harrison’s “Final Confrontation”
The most intriguing part of the synopsis is the phrase “final confrontation.” Who exactly are Dexter and Harrison going up against? Many fans believe this could point toward Angel Batista, who has been circling closer to uncovering the truth all season long. But could Showtime be playing with words?
The relationship between Dexter and Harrison has always been fraught with tension, and the finale might finally force them to face the consequences of their shared darkness.
What Comes Next for Dexter: Resurrection?
Season finales are designed to set the stage for what’s to come—and this one sounds like no exception. Cast members have teased that fans should expect huge developments, and with the Bay Harbor Butcher case back in the spotlight, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
