Dexter: Resurrection Creates a Plot Hole in Why Angela Let Dexter Go

The return of Dexter: Resurrection has stirred up quite a buzz, yet some viewers express reservations due to apparent plot inconsistencies that are hard to ignore. A topic generating much discussion is why Angela decided to let Dexter escape. Those who’ve watched Dexter: New Blood are aware of the reason, but it seems challenging to reconcile this explanation with the new storyline in Dexter: Resurrection.

Why did Angela let Dexter go in New Blood series?

In “New Blood,” Angela eventually released Dexter after he assisted her in apprehending Kurt Caldwell, a serial killer who claimed several lives in the town, among them Angela’s cherished friend. From Angela’s standpoint, there was an undercurrent of emotional factors that influenced her choice. Additionally, it seemed that Angela may have harbored feelings for Dexter at some point.

Angela decided to release Dexter once she understood that his approach differed from the norm. She also felt he was safeguarding innocents in his unique fashion. But is such an action enough to absolve a notorious killer like Dexter from justice? This is when the questionable aspects of Dexter: Resurrection start to emerge.

What plot holes does Dexter: Resurrection create?

Critics have noted several inconsistencies in the plot, such as how Dexter manages to pay rent in expensive New York City and how his son Harrison conveniently finds a replacement toilet seat after committing a murder. A significant discrepancy is that Angela’s decision to release Dexter seems to have some unforeseen effects, leading all law enforcement agencies to abandon the case. It might be assumed that if there was enough evidence against Kurt Caldwell, it would not necessarily mean that Dexter could escape unscathed without facing any repercussions.

Furthermore, it appears that Dexter escaped any repercussions for killing Officer Logan, an event of significant importance in “New Blood,” yet it seems to hold minimal significance in the latest series.

It’s possible that Dexter: Resurrection is considering solutions for these issues, but so far, details are scarce.
