Who wrote Episode 7 of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, and how long is it?
Dexter Morgan is back on our screens for the seventh episode of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, titled “Course Correction,” premiering Friday, August 15, 2025. This marks the sixth consecutive week of our favorite antihero’s twisted journey, and the stakes have never been higher.
Following the explosive events of Episode 6, Dexter accepts an unexpected invitation from Leon Prater — delivered through Charley — to attend yet another special gathering at the exclusive billionaire retreat in a lavish mansion just outside New York City. But with danger lurking in every corner, it’s clear that life at the retreat is about to get even more complicated for Dexter.
Where We Left Off in Episode 6
In the previous episode, Dexter came face-to-face with Gareth, only to discover he was a far more formidable adversary than expected. Their tense encounter ended in a shocking, impulsive kill — one that seemed to tie up loose ends… until Dexter learned the truth. Gareth was not alone. The Gemini Killer has a twin, and that twin is now walking in his brother’s shoes at the retreat.
Arrogant, calculating, and dangerously intelligent, the surviving Gareth poses a serious threat. If he pieces together what happened — and let’s be honest, he probably will — Dexter could face devastating consequences.
What to Expect in Episode 7: “Course Correction”
The official promo for Course Correction teases a tense lunch between Dexter (still impersonating Ronald Schmidt) and the last remaining members of the inner circle — Al and Gareth. While the true purpose of this meeting remains unclear, it seems to be linked to Mia’s death and Lowell’s disappearance.
Will Dexter manage to keep his cover intact under Gareth’s watchful eye? Or will the cracks in his lies finally start to show?
Who Wrote Dexter: Resurrection Episode 7?
After a one-episode break, writing duos return for the fifth time this season — a testament to the collaborative energy driving Dexter: Resurrection. Episode 7 is written by Hilly Hicks Jr. (Marvel’s Jessica Jones, The Big C, Truth Be Told, Chicago Fire) and Edith D. Rodriguez, making their debut in the Dexter universe. Rodriguez’s prior credits lean toward short films, but together, the pair promises a fresh perspective.
Directing duties fall to Monica Raymund, who brings a sharp eye for tension and character work to the episode.
Episode 7 Runtime – How Long Is "Course Correction"?
Fans can expect another meaty installment — Course Correction runs 53 minutes, slightly above the franchise's average, giving plenty of room for suspense, mind games, and potentially explosive reveals.
Final Thoughts
With Dexter: Resurrection building momentum week after week, the pressure is on. Between Batista’s investigation into the Bay Harbor Butcher and Dexter’s dangerous impersonation of “Ronald Schmidt,” the truth is closing in from all sides. Episode 7 promises to push our antihero closer to the edge, and when Dexter Morgan is cornered, blood is sure to follow.
