After disguising himself as Red Schmidt, Dexter attends Leon Prater's serial killer party, where he meets seasoned killers like Lowell and Mia, aka Lady Vengeance, among others. Despite his disgust and judgment, he can't help but feel a sense of belonging with the only people who share his lust for murder.

He finalizes his next target—the serial killer Lowell, who shares his plans to prey on an innocent victim, Jules. Dexter kills Lowell and burns his chopped-off body parts, just like he did with Red. He also flirts with Mia.

Furthermore, Captain Angel Batista arrives in New York and meets Harrison but does not reveal that his father is alive. He, however, learns about Ryan Foster's murder and urges the young man to resist going down the same path as his father.

Dexter finally approaches Harrison outside the police station and stops him from confessing his crime at the end of Dexter: Resurrection episode 4.
