Dexter Resurrection S1E4 Breakdown: Killer Cameos, Mia's Code & A Shocking Return | Streamin' Demons

In this episode of Streamin’ Demons, Jo and Amelie dive deep into Dexter Resurrection Season 1, Episode 4—a wild ride filled with surprise cameos, dark codes, and emotional gut-punches. From Uma Thurman blending so well into her role it took dinner to recognize her, to Peter Dinklage playing a collector with Tyrion Lannister vibes, to Neil Patrick Harris and Eric Stonestreet turning up as twisted killers, the episode is packed with faces you didn’t expect.

But the real debate? Dexter’s dynamic with Mia (Kristen Ritter). Is she a soulmate in code, or should they remain just friends? Jo wants the spark, Amelie wants the depth—sparks fly between the hosts over what’s best for Dexter’s humanity.

We also get into Batista’s messy obsession with catching Dexter, Harrison’s PTSD spiral, and that final gut-drop when Dexter shows up at the worst possible time.

This episode hit 97–98% approval for a reason—it’s one of the most haunting, exhilarating entries yet.
