Dexter: Resurrection – Season 1 Episode 3 Recap & Review
Backseat Driver Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection begins with Dexter working on his RideShare driving gig in New York. He believes he's doing a good job but with a score of 4.2, he's in danger of getting his account shut down. Blessing encourages him not to take another fare for the night, which allows Dexter to focus on this Dark Passenger instead. Not his Dark Passenger obviously, but there's still a serial killer on the loose all the same, so it's time for the good doctor to step up his game. When Dexter sits down for dinner with Blessing and the family, Constance reveals that she's run a background check on him and knows that he's from Miami. Of course, he realizes he's being vetted here and points out flippantly about the deaths as the reason for him moving. The background check itself is actually compiled by a company called SafeHaven, and cost $75 a pop. Dexter believes it could help find his Ronald Schmidt and lo and behold, it works a treat. He finds Ronald's address and breaks in to his apartment. It doesn't take long for him to follow the clues up to a ceiling panel, which conceals the murder weapon and a book full of conquests. Interestingly, this is the same apartment Charley broke into earlier in the season. Dexter senses an opportunity and realizes this apartment is the perfect place to initiate his kill. 'See you soon, Red,' He taunts before going on the hunt. In the midst of this, Angel learns from Teddy that Dexter is currently in New York City. Our titular character is unaware of all this though, as Blessing has a care package for him during his RideShare gig. He has everything from mints to condoms, which should help get the score up. Meanwhile, Harrison is interviewed by Detective Wallace. She shows off the footage of Shauna at the bar, and Harrison plays along, pointing out that this is Ryan's wife, which matches the lies Ryan told the night of his death of course. Wallace continues, showing off the footage from the elevator, questioning his seemingly nonchalant attitude to Shauna being drugged. The interview is touch and go, especially when Harrison goes off-script, lying about his whereabouts and claiming he went to a bar and took a girl home. Wallace doesn't trust him, especially following Harrison's clues about using the service elevator, which doesn't have any cameras. It leads her down to the kitchen, where she tries to piece everything together. Tellingly, she looks up at the exact ceiling panel where a small spatter of blood was until Dexter took it down. The black bags are a big giveaway though, and following the clues outside, there's a slight reprieve from the truth when the camera here is obscured by bird poo. However, Harrison is shifty all the same, and his one-night-stand (which happens to be his alibi here) is not going to go away any time soon. This is only compounded further when Wallace questions him again. This time, she shows off the footage from the hotel cameras. There's nothing here that shows him leaving the building and the last video they have of him is exiting the elevator. It doesn't look good, and Harrison's confusion isn't helping matters. Wallace is smart, recounting almost a pitch-perfect recreation of the night Harrison killed Ryan. They want to make a deal with him and make this out to be a justifiable homicide rather than cold-blooded murder. Instead, Harrison confesses that he never left the hotel because he's homeless and sleeps in vacant rooms. His alibi for this happens to be his friend Elsa whom he works with. She covers for him and makes it clear that she certainly doesn't help asshole, but it's also her job on the line here and she's not happy with Harrison. That night, Dexter offers himself up as bait for the Dark Passenger. It works a treat and he manages to subdue Ronald while out on the road. He takes him over to the Kill Room, which happens to be the apartment of course. Now, Ronald believes he's justified in his actions, pointing out that his own father took his life after RideShare drivers moved in and took a lot of the business away from cabbies. Dexter eventually kills Ronald, having heard enough, and embraces the sweet, sweet euphoria of the kill. However, checking in Ronald's bag, he notices an invitation to an esteemed dinner for serial killers. This is the same dinner party that we earlier saw Charley preparing. Alongside this, there's a whole stack of money too. A dinner party for serial killers? That's an invitation Dexter can't turn down but for now, he burns Ronald's body and disposes of the evidence. It's touch and go for a bit, as he needs a thumbprint for evidence but it doesn't take long for him to grab what he needs. Alas, the hunt is well and truly on now! The Episode Review Dexter is back this week and there's a good deal of tension and development across both these storylines. Dexter successfully manages to goad Ronald into seeing him as a victim but our titular character is obviously too smart to fall for these cheap tricks. Seeing Dexter back on the warpath, killing again, is a nice touch and feels very reminiscent of the old Dexter, especially the way he's investigating and dishing out his own unique slice of justice. it certainly helps to go some way in undoing that poor ending to Dexter that annoyed a lot of fans. Unlike Dexter though, lady luck certainly isn't shining on Harrison. Wallace is a smart cop and she's pretty much sussed the entire story, only she obviously doesn't have the evidence to back it up. Harrison is no pushover but whether he's actually got enough to outsmart Wallace while she's on the warpath like this is unclear. However, we're still waiting for the point where these two stories are going to intersect because that could tip the scales in Dexter and Harrison's favour. Right now, it feels like two competing storylines wrestling for screen-time. The show has done well to keep things interesting across these 3 episodes though, although it's unclear how Charley and this 'serial killer dinner' plays into things. That subplot very much does feel like the only sticking point right now, but I'm sure we'll see more of this as time goes on. Roll on next week's episode!
