Whew, a powerhouse Dexter: Resurrection 1.3, with at least three things that I really loved:
[Spoilers ahead]
1. Harrison getting out of that murder rap (for now) with that clever Detective Wallace boxing him in with that no sign of him leaving the hotel. He had the perfect answer to her -- that he's sleeping in the hotel, not paying for a room, and he didn't tell Wallace that sooner because he was protecting Elsa, the woman who is letting him stay in the hotel. Nice piece of work, Harrison! Your father (and grandfather) would be proud of you.
2. Dexter not falling prey to his prey -- the other Dark Passenger -- by wearing that metal collar around his neck. Dexter hasn't lost his edge. He always knew how to protect himself even when he was first starting out -- well, not always, but in Dexter: Original Sin he was quickly learning how -- and getting the jump on Red as Red was trying to do the same to him was also a fine piece of work in the Dexter corpus.
3. But of course my favorite was Batista retiring and Masuka and Quinn saying goodbye to him. The last two were in great shape, and so is Batista, as I mentioned in my review of the first two episodes of Resurrection last week.
So, Harrison is free (for now), Dexter has taken care of Red, but he's set to get involved with the serial killers club, because how could he not, it's a perfect hunting ground for him. But Batista is no doubt on his way to New York to nab Dexter as the Bay Harbor Butcher, so in that important way Dexter is still someone's prey.
And let me also say: excellent directing by Monica Raymund, whom we know from her acting in Chicago Fire and Hightown! See you back here next week.
