With Dexter reuniting with blood slides inResurrection,it truly feels like we have the original Dexter Morgan back now. He’s also back to using blood slide trophies again, as shown when he kills Neil Patrick Harris’s Lowell, aka The Tattoo Collector.
Additionally, whenhe talks to Harry in his imagination, he’s back to his old ways, using funny one-liners. This all combines inResurrectionto have Dexter Morgan feel much more true to the OG Dexter than he did inNew Blood.
Will Dexter Steal Back His Original Blood Slide Trophies From Leon Prater?
He Would Have To Do So At The Risk Of Blowing His Cover
Dexter may not be able to resist the “urge” of parting with his beloved blood slides after parting with them for so long. All signs afterResurrectionepisode 4 indicate thathe will continue to operate under the alias of Ronald “Red” Schmidt, at least for the time being.
It should be noted thatPrater demonstrated to Dexter how to unlock the vault where his blood slides lie. Even one failed attempt to enter the right code for entry will result in Uma Thurman’s Charley coming out guns blazing. If Dexter were to get his slides back inDexter: Resurrection, he would not only need to get through Prater but also the formidable Charley as well.
