The first season of Dexter: Resurrection<\/a> has come to an end, but there are still many questions left unanswered. The sequel series proved to be a massive success, breaking streaming records and becoming one of the highest-rated series of all time. Michael C. Hall achieves perfection by returning to a role he was born to play, generating buzz around an overdue Emmy win.<\/p>\n

Dexter: Resurrection brings back old characters<\/a> and introduces compelling new ones, including a great roster of serial killers for Dexter to take care of. While the season finale ties up many loose ends, it successfully sets up a promising Season 2. The Bay Harbor Butcher is officially back, and he will stick around for some time: Dexter: Resurrection is reportedly renewed for two more seasons. Here are all the questions that Season 1 fails to answer.<\/p>\n

How Will NYPD Solve the Leon Prater Case?<\/p>\n

In the season finale of Dexter: Resurrection, Detective Claudette and her fellow NYPD officers encounter a puzzling scene. Leon Prater is nowhere to be found, Batista’s lifeless body is lying in a pool of blood, and a weapon with Prater’s prints was left at the crime scene. In addition, Claudette encounters a folder containing valuable information about Dexter’s mysterious New York Ripper<\/a>, a case that has haunted her for years.<\/p>\n

The NYPD barely has time to process everything they encounter in Prater’s trophy room: a chamber full of items that belong to the most notorious serial killers who ever lived. Though Dexter gets rid of anything that could compromise him there, the ghastly crime scene brings up more questions than answers. Claudette is a sharp-witted detective who doesn’t usually let clues slip away. If she puts two and two together, she will realize that Dexter has something to do with the death of Batista, even if it was Prater who pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n

Will Dexter Stay in New York?<\/p>\n

The final scene of Dexter: Resurrection Season 1 sees Dexter reflecting on his life. He comes to terms with his Dark Passenger again, realizing he can’t outrun who he really is. However, he’s determined to look at things from a more empathetic perspective in order to be a reliable friend for those who care about him, such as Blessing and Harrison.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Dexter retrieves many files from Prater’s trophy collection, all of which contain details about serial killers from all across America. Dexter is torn between standing up for Harrison as a father and going away on a killing spree. A season of Dexter: Resurrection on the road would be thrilling, but it would strain the healing relationship between Dexter and Harrison.<\/a><\/p>\n

How Will Al Jolly React to Leon Prater’s Death?<\/p>\n

Dexter: Resurrection immerses viewers in a chilling serial killer underworld with the introduction of Leon Prater. Though Dexter manages to eliminate Prater’s most faithful guests one by one, he fails to get to the Al Jolly killer in time. Truth be told, Dexter underestimated Al, who earned the moniker Rapunzel for cutting off the ponytails of his victims. Among the members of Prater’s serial killer club, Al is the one who looks most harmless. He’s a quirky family man with a lively sense of humor, a huge contrast from the dark, caustic personalities of the Gemini killer and Lady Vengeance, for example.<\/p>\n

Al’s innocuous semblance is merely a facade, though. He kills as ruthlessly as any other killer, showing absolutely no compassion for his victims. Al is one of the few characters in Dexter: Resurrection who knows the truth about Prater. He also has seen Dexter’s face and witnessed him kill one of the Gemini killers, which would likely make him Dexter’s number one priority in the show’s next season. Dexter leaves Al’s files for the NYPD to find, an act that could dangerously backfire, leading the police straight to him.<\/p>\n

Will Charley Return in Dexter: Resurrection?<\/p>\n

One of the most surprising twists in the Dexter: Resurrection season finale is Charley abandoning Prater and leaving New York. In spite of that, she’s too good a character to simply leave the show forever. It could be that Dexter will find in Charley an unexpected ally. After all, the two have more in common than they realize.<\/p>\n

Both Charley and Dexter are killers with haunting pasts whose top priority is to keep their loved ones safe. They reach a silent truce in Dexter: Resurrection: Charley lets Harrison go and, in exchange, Dexter lets Charley walk free to take care of her mother. They both know everything about each other. Charley has the potential to either become Dexter’s biggest enemy or his biggest ally. However, there’s a chance that Charley’s departure in Dexter: Resurrection will be definitive.<\/p>\n

Will Joey Quinn Go After Dexter?<\/p>\n

Batista, one of the most redeemable characters from the original Dexter series, is shockingly killed by Prater in Dexter: Resurrection. Only Dexter, Harrison, and Charley know the real circumstances of his death. The NYPD is left with very few clues to decipher how Batista ended up dead in Prater’s trophy room, but they know one thing for sure: Batista was obsessed with the Bay Harbor Butcher case and was actively pursuing a way to prove Dexter Morgan was the culprit.<\/p>\n

While Dexter is locked in Prater’s chamber, he hears a voicemail from Joey Quinn to Batista inquiring his former captain about his whereabouts. This moment might be a crucial clue for what’s coming in Season 2. It’s possible that the mysterious circumstances of Batista’s death in Dexter: Resurrection will bring Quinn to New York. If so, it’s a matter of time until he discovers Dexter is still alive. Quinn spends a good portion of Dexter Season 5 prying into Dexter’s affairs, convinced that the seemingly innocent blood analyst is hiding sinister secrets. With Batista out of the picture, Quinn is the next perfect candidate to go after the Bay Harbor Butcher, though the case could also cost him his life.<\/p>\n

Did Batista Leave Any Clues Behind?<\/p>\n

While it’s possible that Joey Quinn will be determined to investigate Batista’s death, it’s also possible that Batista secretly facilitated this job. The former captain is seen recording all of his theories and suspicions, as well as Dexter’s every step. He also takes a compromising picture of Dexter and Prater meeting on the day the police found Batista’s body in Prater’s mansion.<\/p>\n

Batista knew better than anyone that everyone who pursued the Bay Harbor Butcher<\/a> before him ended up dead. Aware of the risks, it’s possible that he prepared a dossier of clues about Dexter’s true identity before meeting Prater. Batista might be dead, but there’s a chance he will still be responsible for exposing the truth about the Bay Harbor Butcher in Dexter: Resurrection.<\/p>\n

Is Harrison Still a Suspect in Ryan Foster’s Murder?<\/p>\n

\"Harrison<\/p>\n

Dexter: Resurrection kicks off in a bloody fashion with Harrison murdering Ryan Foster, a sexual predator, in cold blood. He then proceeds to dispose of Ryan’s body Bay Harbor Butcher style, chopping up the corpse into nine pieces and throwing them out in garbage bags. However, detective Claudette manages to track Ryan’s remains to the hotel where Harrison works, making Harrison one of the primary suspects.<\/p>\n

Dexter eventually plants Ryan’s watch in Lady Vengeance’s kill trophies, framing her for Ryan’s murder. Claudette, however, suspects something isn’t right, but Mia LaPierre is killed before the detective can clear up her doubts. With Harrison and Claudette bumping into each other all the time in Dexter: Resurrection, she likely won’t forget the unresolved case so soon. She might not have enough evidence to support her theory that Lady Vengeance didn’t kill Ryan, but she will likely stay on Harrison’s trail. One tiny slip, and he will become a suspect again.<\/p>\n

Who Is the New York Ripper?<\/p>\n

\"Claudette<\/p>\n

One of the biggest mysteries introduced in Dexter: Resurrection is the identity of the New York Ripper, a serial killer who’s no longer active. The case casts a huge shadow over detective Claudette’s life, who is obsessed about unmasking the ripper. The truth unexpectedly falls into her lap at the end of the Dexter: Resurrection finale, when she encounters a file containing details about the New York Ripper in Prater’s trophy room.<\/p>\n

There was no shortage of theories about the New York Ripper’s true identity. Turns out that he’s a man named Don Framt, a character viewers will only meet in Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection. That’s assuming Don Framt doesn’t stand for a pseudonym of a character fans are already familiar with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first season of Dexter: Resurrection has come to an end, but there are still many questions left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4835,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-4834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
