Spoiler Alert: The following article contains major spoilers for Dexter: Resurrection Episode 6.
The sixth episode of Dexter: Resurrection pits the titular vigilante, played by Michael C. Hall, against yet another colleague from Leon Prater’s serial killer congregation, and once again, it manifests not through acts of passion but through circumstances demanding intervention. This episode, titled “Cats and Mouse,” also delivers major emotional crescendos for supporting characters including Charley, Harrison, and Dexter’s landlord Blessing.
It also consolidates certain narrative developments while unveiling countless more mysteries, including the emergence of the amorphous Gemini Killer (David Dastmalchian), whose presence threatens to unravel the delicate equilibrium of Prater’s murderous consortium.

Dexter: Resurrection Episode 6 – Serial Killer Takes James Bond Approach
Following last week’s quintessential incorporation of romantic comedy allegories, “Cats and Mouse” adopts tropes from espionage as Michael C. Hall suits up, returning to his funeral industry roots from Six Feet Under. When Blessing’s mother, Prudence, passes away, Dexter and Harrison are prompted to attend the somber wake upstairs.
The ceremony proves profoundly impressionable upon the Miami killer, as familial values and lessons about embracing second chances resonate within his fractured psyche. The solemn event concludes prematurely for him when Leon Prater summons Dexter to a convention alongside Rapunzel (Eric Stonestreet) and the enigmatic Gemini.
Dexter Investigates The Gemini Killer
Following Mia’s arrest and Lowell’s suspicious absence without leave, the group experiences considerable commotion. Momentarily, they invest faith in Mia’s discretion, though the Gemini killer, aka Gareth, remains skeptical of her loyalty. The number one priority in the FBI’s watchlist, his exploits are disturbingly notorious in popular culture, and Gareth’s self-aggrandizement is not lost on Dexter.
Learning that Gareth exclusively strikes in pairs, Dexter shadows him into a library where, within a nonfiction tome about serial murderers, the former conceals an address for someone. Dexter retrieves the intelligence, deciding to hunt Gareth preemptively, though the reality proves far more complex than anticipated.
Gemini Is One Step Ahead of Dexter, Until He Isn’t
Gareth infiltrates Dexter’s apartment, probing with calculated questions. The host prepares a gin and tonic as the guest rambles about his intellectual superiority and artistic talent — claims Dexter mentally catalogues as he dissolves a sedative into one of the glasses. Gareth’s taunting proves premature as Dexter outmaneuvers him, claiming his third victim in as many episodes.
Blessing’s unexpected knock forces the Bay Harbor Butcher to conceal the corpse. Blessing discloses the memories of his mother’s wisdom in fending off darkness during his forced conscription into seditious forces in Sierra Leone — a juxtaposition between their respective parents’ applications of violence.
Harrison Connects With His Father To Overcome Dark Urges
Beginning with his interactions at the funeral, Harrison remains uncertain about his trajectory. He discovers a brochure for a university before becoming despondent over the prohibitive costs. While babysitting for Elsa, the indiscretions of her landlord trigger his outrage.
Later, he confesses harboring dark thoughts to Dexter, but his father shares his newly acquired wisdom, reassuring Harrison that such impulses are indicative not of inherited darkness but of virtuous instincts reminiscent of Debra’s moral compass.
Charley Safeguards Dexter & Prater
Charley’s investigative prowess becomes evident when she discovers that Dexter — operating under the alias Red — no longer resides at the latter’s address. She subsequently bribes a prison guard to eliminate Mia permanently, timing the action perfectly lest Batista and the cop inquire about Dexter’s whereabouts.
Charley then invites the remaining murderers to join Leon for an air excursion, where they await Gareth’s arrival. To Dexter’s mystification, Gareth’s identical twin boards the chopper in the semblance of Christopher Nolan‘s The Prestige, fundamentally altering the dynamics of their deadly game.
