Spoiler Alert: The following article contains major spoilers for Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5.
In the labyrinthine corridors of moral degradation that define the Dexter universe, Episode 5 of Dexter: Resurrection just excavated uncharted territories of psychological perversity. This installment, aptly named “Murder Horny,” witnessed a conflation of intimacy and annihilation converge in grotesque harmony.
As both their desperate yearning for connection manifested through the most heinous expressions of shared violence, Michael C. Hall‘s Dexter and Mia experienced a whirlwind date. Unlike the former’s previous romance with fellow serial killer Hannah McKay, this liaison proposed something far more depraved: a ménage à trois where the third participant serves not as lover, but as a sacrificial offering to feed their bloodlust.
Directed once again by Marcos Siega, the fifth episode of Dexter: Resurrection opens after Dexter successfully talks Harrison out of turning himself in for Ryan Foster’s murder. Harrison isn’t ready to reconcile with his resurrected father just yet, leaving Dexter reverting to his urge for family connection. He calls Mia, aka Lady Vengeance (Krysten Ritter), after their previous date went awry in her apartment.
While bowling, they discover mutual loneliness, as Mia also remains estranged from her family. She propositions Dexter for a night date involving a shared victim. Despite concerns raised by Harry’s figment, Dexter gives it serious consideration. After witnessing Blessing’s mother’s fear of dying alone, he decides to accept Mia’s twisted proposition.
Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5 – Mia Is Not Lady Vengeance but Another Predator
The evening date begins promisingly until Mia confides she’s not the perfect embodiment of her moniker. Most of her victims weren’t necessarily predatory men, but the media granted her actions validity because she’s a woman, and that’s adequate to win society’s favor. She furthers her proposal, saying she wants to watch Dexter, whom she still believes is the UrCar murderer, decapitate any random driver.
After consideration, Dexter ends the date, though he can’t kill her due to Leon Prater’s suspicions. Meanwhile, Mia reveals she’ll now kill any random man since she’s aroused by the evening’s events.
Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5 – Dexter Kills Two Birds With One Stone, Without Killing
Conscious of Mia’s intentions, Dexter breaks into her apartment and plants Ryan’s watch among her trophies while redoing her sheds. As she brings a guest over, strips him naked, and prepares to murder him, the NYPD, called by Dexter, arrives at the scene, wherein Lady Vengeance is apprehended.
Detective Claudette Wallace has no choice but to close her suspicions on Harrison, while Batista remains shocked by the chain of revelations. Equally surprised, Harrison finally visits Dexter. When Dexter shares the truth about his selfishness in inadvertently bringing Arthur Mitchell to Rita, leading to her murder, Harrison finally forgives him.
Dexter: Resurrection Episode 5 – Leon Prater & Charley Incur Another Hit
“Murder Horny” also illuminates the backgrounds of Leon Prater and his security chief, Charley. During an interview, Prater shares his philanthropy stems from his modest orphaned background after his parents died in an accident. Charley is also shown visiting her hospitalized mother, lying about being a school teacher when. Apparently, under her Harvard Law-educated license, she meets Mia in prison to ensure their business with Prater and serial killer associates remains, including Dexter, secret from federal authorities.
