With a title like “Murder Horny,” you’d expect a wild one. And you get it, but what’s surprising is how emotional it is too.
This is the post-reunion cooldown episode, and it’s a good one. Dexter and Harrison finally talk. Really talk. And it’s not just surface-level grief or guilt, it’s about what’s broken between them, and what might be repairable. That scene with the ticking watch? Quietly devastating.
But there’s still room for serial killer antics. Dexter and Mia go on a not-quite-a-date, and it’s clear she was never built to be a love interest. Her lack of a code makes her dangerous, and when Dexter decides to frame her for Ryan Foster’s murder, it’s vintage Dexter ingenuity at its best. Messy, but smart.
Leon Prater remains an enigma, and that’s a good thing. His on-camera persona doesn’t match what we’ve seen behind the scenes. Which one is real? That question is starting to simmer.
This episode isn’t flashy. But it’s full of smart choices, earned emotions, and a Dexter who’s finally starting to own both sides of himself, the killer, and the dad.
