[And there will be spoilers ahead ....]
First, let's talk a little about Batista. He tells the NYPD detectives -- Wallace and Oliva -- exactly what's going on, to a tee. I have to say, much as I really like Batista, this means only one thing: Batista will have to die. He knows way too much about Dexter and how he operates. Whether Dexter will kill him, or a possible long shot, Harrison, or maybe Batista will just get hit by a bus, he'll have to go. A season 2 beginning with Dexter behind bars just doesn't strike me as likely,
But speaking of which, I was sorry last week to see Mia arrested, and I was even more sorry this week to see her permanently gone. Shows the depth of danger Dexter will be facing once Prater is on to him.
And there were two notable things about Dexter's righteous kill tonight. First, I liked that the body of Dexter's victim was a shower curtain away from discovery (by Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Blessing -- starring at this same time in Smoke)*. Second, the fact that the Gemini killer was so named because the serial killers were identical twins was a cool twist in the serial killer narrative genre. One of the best of the many good things about Dexter: Resurrection is that it pulls out so many stops.
And it does this with a winning attention to detail, like Doake's photo as the Bay Harbor Butcher, and Dexter's face when he sees this. Michael C. Hall not only hasn't lost a beat in his current performance as Dexter, I'd say he's better than ever.
*And shout-out to The Sopranos' Steve Schirripa and his brief appearance in this episode. Lookin' good!
