Spoiler Alert! Discussion for Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5, "Murder H**ny"
For the fourth Friday in a row, Dexter: Resurrection continues to bring the heat—and the blood—straight from the dark alleys of New York City. Episode 5, titled “Murder H*rny,” is yet another wild chapter in Dexter Morgan’s thrilling new saga, filled with tension, surprises, and a dark dose of poetic justice.
Although this episode was noticeably shorter than the last, it packed a serious punch. This time, the spotlight shines on Mia Lapierre, better known to the public—and now to Dexter—as the infamous Lady Vengeance. And let’s just say, their interactions were anything but cordial.
Lady Vengeance Unleashed
This episode truly peeled back the layers on Mia’s twisted psyche. Her obsession, her manipulation, and her brutal methods all come to the forefront. She may have a “code” she follows, but make no mistake—Mia is a serial killer, and her brand of justice is as terrifying as it is unpredictable.
Father & Son: A Fragile Reunion
Amid the chaos, we also witness an emotionally charged reunion between Dexter and Harrison. The tension is palpable as Dexter scrambles to shield his son from the dark truth. In classic Dexter fashion, he begins orchestrating a cover-up—pinning the murder of Ryan Foster (from the season premiere) squarely on Mia.
His plan works. Mia ends up behind bars. But her story isn’t over just yet—Charley pays her a visit in prison, under the direct request of none other than her boss Leon Prater.
Batista & the NYPD: Bay Harbor Butcher Reawakens
