Blessing (Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine) has been, effectively, a blessing in Dexter’s (Michael C. Corridor) life in Dexter: Resurrection. He strikes shortly from pleasant rideshare driver to authentic pal. Because the present progresses, Blessing grows nearer to Dexter, confiding in him about his life and his previous. This blows again on Dexter when he by chance reveals particulars about Blessing’s previous to his daughter Pleasure (Reese Antoinette), which Blessing sees as a betrayal. It’s the primary time followers see Blessing with something however a smile or hopeful perspective. The reveal of the darkness he as soon as harbored has followers questioning if the character could possibly be central to the present’s greatest twist of all.
Is Blessing the New York Ripper?
Whereas investigating Ryan’s (Bryan Lillis) loss of life, Claudette (Kadia Saraf) speaks ceaselessly concerning the New York Ripper. He’s a serial killer who has evaded her and her predecessors for many years, inflicting Claudette to develop into obsessive about figuring out and capturing him. His id is probably going somebody followers have seen already, or else bringing the mysterious character so closely into the story wouldn’t make a lot sense.
Some individuals have theorized that Gareth (David Dastmalchian) is perhaps the New York Ripper in addition to the Gemini Killer. With the reveal that he was a twin, it is smart that one or each of the brothers may have been chargeable for these vicious kills with a unique signature as effectively. Others imagine it could possibly be Leon (Peter Dinklage), however Blessing being the killer could be an final stunning twist.
Given his standing as a household man with an infectiously constructive perspective, it might make Blessing extra expert at hiding in plain sight than Dexter. He nearly appears too good, overly good, giving, and caring for his mom, Prudence (Sharon Hope). Even her loss of life appears suspect: would possibly she have felt like she was on loss of life’s door and wished to admit her son’s secret, inflicting him to kill her? It looks as if a ridiculous idea, however there are clues to counsel that Blessing is perhaps a lot darker than he appears to be.
Blessing Has a Darkish Previous
Whereas Blessing has lived in New York Metropolis together with his mom since he was 13 years previous, his previous was something however rosy. Rising up in Sierra Leone, he reveals to Dexter in Episode 6, following his mom’s loss of life, that he was compelled into changing into a soldier for the Revolutionary United Entrance within the civil conflict when he was only a little one. He had killed individuals, and he appears again at the moment in his life with remorse and extreme trauma. However possibly he couldn’t go away that darkness behind.
One slight difficulty with the speculation is that it is suspected that the New York Ripper began killing within the ’70s and ’80s, which is when Blessing was nonetheless a toddler. With that mentioned, it’s not fully unimaginable for him to have labored with another person after which carried on their work. The New York Ripper has been quiet of late, and Blessing’s job as a rideshare automotive driver and his reignited deal with household is perhaps what’s holding him from suppressing his urges.
The disclosure about his previous to Dexter, in addition to Blessing’s disappointment when he learns that Dexter instructed his daughter about it, suggests he has one thing to cover. His closeness together with his mom additionally mirrors that of Dexter together with his personal father, Harry (James Remar). Is it attainable that Prudence knew all alongside and tried to plan some kind of code for Blessing, like Harry did, or not less than cowl up his crimes?
Are the Cats His Trophies?
One unusual merchandise that retains showing on the present has followers questioning: the cat decoration. Whereas paying respect to Prudence following her loss of life, the household permits everybody there to take one cat statue from her assortment to recollect her by. Dexter chooses a relatively giant one, and it options prominently in his house.
I can’t assist however marvel if maybe there’s proof hidden inside that cat tracing again to Blessing as being the New York Ripper, like his personal trophies. Ought to Dexter ever open the cat, he may uncover harrowing secrets and techniques inside. Maybe all of the cat ornaments include some kind of trophy. The episode was, in spite of everything, known as “Cats and Mouse,” which could possibly be a crimson herring or may counsel one thing extra. It’s additionally attainable that Dexter finally decides to make use of the cat himself to cover his blood slides.
Whether or not the New York Ripper is Leon, Gemini, Blessing, or another person fully, chances are high excessive that Dexter will uncover his id by the top of the season. Relating to Blessing, whereas so many followers initially considered him as a Brother Sam (Mos Def) like character, a reformed man who discovered God and tried to point out Dexter the sunshine, the reveal of his darkish previous means that Blessing could possibly be the most important shock of the season. I’m on the fence as as to if I would like this loopy idea to come back true or for Blessing to be precisely who he has seemed to be: a real pal and confidante for a vigilante killer who’s blissfully unaware of what his tenant is as much as in the midst of the night time.
