However he’s not as open as Lowell (Neil Patrick Harris), as personable as Mia (Krysten Ritter), nor as jovial as Al (Eric Stonestreet). He’s additionally rumored to be probably the most deplorable of the killers.
Followers have been theorizing about him, most notably choosing up on the truth that he kills twins and arranges them in creepy poses, some drawing comparisons to The Zodiac Killer.

Spoiler warning: spoilers forward for Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, Episode 6 “Cats and Mouse”
Gareth’s Narcissism Is Exhibiting
In Episode 5, following Mia’s arrest, Leon, unsurprisingly, calls the others to satisfy at his home for a dialogue. It’s the primary time Gareth reveals some persona and participates within the dialog in a giant means. And it seems that he takes narcissism, one of many frequent persona traits of psychopaths, to unimaginable heights. His ego is larger than everybody else’s within the room mixed, and Dexter (Michael C. Corridor) picks up on this immediately. Gareth is not only overly assured; he’s obsessive about himself and his work.
Naturally, Dexter investigates him additional by studying information articles and viewing the graphic images of his victims. He will get enthusiastic about the potential of ending this infamous killer’s life. Gareth meets The Code with out query, and he’s the right candidate to be subsequent on Dexter’s checklist. It’s only a matter of when and the way.
Dexter does what he often does and follows Gareth to scope out the scenario. He finally ends up at a bookstore the place he notices Gareth choosing up a ebook, including a bookmark to it, and strolling away. Dexter grabs the ebook, fittingly a real crime novel about infamous serial killers, and finds the bookmark positioned on a web page about The Gemini Killer. On the again of the bookmark is a location and a time: 8 p.m. tonight. When Dexter arrives at his basement condominium later that night and finds Gareth there ready for him, he realizes that he has been made. Gareth doesn’t know who he actually is, however he is aware of that Dexter adopted him, eliminated the bookmark, and needs to know why.
Leveraging his quick-thinking expertise, Dexter performs proper into Gareth’s ego and says he’s an enormous fan and was embarrassed to confess it. Gareth believes this as a result of, in fact, why wouldn’t anybody be a fan of his? He agrees to a drink, however he’s sensible sufficient to modify the glasses earlier than taking a swig. Sadly for him, Dexter is all the time one step forward, predicted he would do this, and began with the laced drink in his personal hand.
With Gareth out for the depend, Dexter can’t assist however comply with by means of together with his plan. Why does he danger killing Gareth after deciding to not kill Mia for concern of Leon catching on? Certainly one of Gareth’s final kills, and one he boasted about to Dexter, was of a father and his teenage son. That hit means too near residence. Dexter will work out the main points later. The Darkish Passenger is screaming in his ear to complete this job.
After an extremely shut name, Dexter manages to eliminate Gareth’s physique and transfer on together with his evening, happy to have eliminated one other killer from the world. He’ll work out the best way to deal with Leon later. However he’ll must ahead of anticipated, due to a shock name from Charley (Uma Thurman) with an invite he can’t refuse.
Gemini Does not Simply Kill Twins; He Is One
Perceptive followers could have guessed the twist when Dexter requested Gareth who he was leaving the bookmark for, and he weirdly stated himself. It was an odd reply, however for somebody like Gareth, it might make sense. He has a grandiose sense of self-importance and would possibly do such nonsensical issues.
However there’s a extra logical reply, and it’s revealed within the last moments of the episode. Dexter arrives on the assembly level when Al gleefully knocks on his automobile window and says they’re “happening a whirlybird,” which means a airplane. As they board, Leon notes that they’re ready for Gareth. Dexter, in fact, is aware of that Gareth isn’t coming.
Or is he? Within the nick of time earlier than take-off, Gareth walks as much as the airplane and sits subsequent to Dexter within the seat. Dexter is noticeably shocked. It’s on this second that he realizes it isn’t The Gemini Killer however the Gemini Killers, plural. Gareth doesn’t simply kill twins; he’s additionally (or relatively, was) one. The remaining twin remains to be alive, and now Dexter should reply to him.
How This Twist Adjustments the Sport in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’
With Dexter now realizing The Gemini Killer is 2 folks, it begs the query: is his twin simply another person who conducts kills with him, or alternates? It is sensible that they’d work collectively since it might be difficult for a single particular person to subdue and kill two folks, then prepare their our bodies.
Some had theorized earlier than this episode that The Gemini Killer was additionally the infamous New York Ripper, whom Claudette (Kadia Saraf) had been obsessive about attempting to determine and take down. This concept could also be proper, and Gareth’s twin conducts these murders whereas he does the Gemini ones.
Extra essential than who does what, nevertheless, is what’s going to occur to and with Dexter now that he realizes Gareth has a twin. If the dual doesn’t already know, he’ll quickly uncover that his brother is useless or at the very least lacking. Contemplating Lowell can also be lacking, and Mia was simply arrested (additionally now presumed useless, doubtless by the hands of Leon and Charley to stop her from speaking), it is sensible that suspicion would begin to fall on the brand new man, Pink, a.okay.a. Dexter.
Followers can’t wait to see if Gareth’s twin learns who Dexter actually is, and what he did to his brother. Gareth (and his brother) normal themselves as probably the most infamous serial killers, on the high of the FBI Most Wished Checklist. The one purpose they’d that distinction was that the Bay Harbor Butcher was presumed useless. If Gemini realizes not solely that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher, but additionally that he’s nonetheless alive and has been persevering with to kill all this time, he’ll know he’s not primary. That may be a devastating blow to his ego.
Given the mindless nature of Gareth’s murders and the truth that his brother is now left to proceed the work alone, the story might take many turns. After all, one other risk is just that Dexter manages to get Gareth’s brother on his desk simply as shortly as he did Gareth. First, he’ll must get by means of Leon’s shock social gathering, although.
It should undoubtedly be a battle of egos as Dexter goals to indicate Gareth’s brother, like he did Gareth, that he’s primary, not them. With Leon watching intently, Dexter faces his most complex and egotistical goal but, and for the primary time, he’ll must do double the work to remove a single killer.
