Following the surprising demise of Mia, a.ok.a. Girl Vengeance (Krysten Ritter), in Dexter: Resurrection Season 1, Episode 6, “Cats and Mouse,” followers had been unconvinced that she was gone. How might such a high-profile actor and compelling character meet her finish so quickly? However following a current interview between Ritter and Jamie Chung, who starred within the first Dexter sequel, Dexter: New Blood, on the Dexter: Ultimate Reduce YouTube channel, there’s reinvigorated hope that Mia may nonetheless be alive in spite of everything.
The Particulars of Mia’s Loss of life
After assembly and befriending Mia, Dexter (Michael C. Corridor) began to really feel like perhaps he had discovered a real buddy, perhaps even a romantic associate. She was a killer like him who knew what he was and presumably lived by a code as nicely. She solely killed serial rapists and abusers. Or so he thought.
After a stunning date in town that ends with an evening at a wine bar, Dexter learns that the entire Girl Vengeance persona was contrived by the media. In fact, Mia picks her victims at random. All of them simply occurred to have one thing adverse of their pasts that the media was capable of dredge up, they usually ran with it. Absolutely, for a feminine killer, she needed to have the next function, be on a revenge tour, and search justice for wrongdoings. Nevertheless, Mia merely loves killing.
When she tries to persuade Dexter to partake in a “threesome” together with her (killing somebody collectively), he’s horrified when she targets an harmless UrCar driver. That isn’t how he operates, however she doesn’t know that as a result of Mia nonetheless thinks he’s Crimson, the Darkish Passenger killer who saws his victims’ heads off from the again seat with a wire. He rebuffs the advances, claiming it simply isn’t how he works. He’s not up for a reckless journey. Angered and revealing that Dexter has left her “Homicide Sexy,” Mia takes off to discover a sufferer.
Dexter considers killing her, however realizes that it might draw an excessive amount of suspicion. Nevertheless, Dexter has one other concept in thoughts that might kill two birds with one stone. He breaks into Mia’s condo and vegetation oxygenated bleach beneath her sink and Ryan’s (Bryan Lillis) watch in her music field of sufferer trophies. He waits and watches from a constructing throughout the road, then calls the cops on her as soon as he sees her there with a sufferer. She’s caught and despatched to jail.
Charley (Uma Thurman) meets her there, posing as her lawyer, and Mia reassures her that she received’t speak or reveal something about Leon (Peter Dinklage) or extort him for something. Charley is cool as a cucumber, saying their “mutual buddy” appreciates that, they usually’ll ensure that her keep is “as snug and quick as doable.”
Later, Charley pays off a person with a transparent playing downside who, it seems, is the jail guard who discovers Mia’s lifeless physique hanging in her cell just a few days later. It was a demise by suicide, it appears. The logical presumption is that this man killed Mia to make it appear to be a suicide, at Charley’s orders. However perhaps he was paid to pretend that. And Ritter supplies a juicy tidbit of data to make followers run with this principle.
Mia’s File Was Nonetheless Energetic
Throughout Ritter’s 20-minute interview with Chung on the Dexter: Ultimate Reduce YouTube channel, she talks about her need to be again on the present in any method doable, hinting at how that may be doable. Exhibiting close-ups of Leon’s recordsdata that Dexter finds in his museum, the one for Girl Vengeance, Ritter factors out, is clearly labeled as “Energetic.” The Canton Clubber file, the person Charley is seen killing in her first main scene, has a file labeled “Inactive,” which means that Leon is studious in preserving his recordsdata updated. Is it doable he simply hadn’t gotten round to updating Mia’s file? Naturally, solely he and Charley have entry to the museum to do this. Did she drop the ball? Or is there one more reason she’s nonetheless listed as lively?
The truth that the file was proven in any respect might be by design to drum up dialog for the sequence, which has but to be formally renewed for a second season. Creators know that die-hard followers will analyze each body, so being meticulous and purposeful in each element is necessary. Nonetheless, Mia’s demise being faked has been theorized by followers because it occurred, so Ritter bringing this concept up isn’t new, however one value revisiting.
If Leon actually needed Mia alive, he would have been capable of put the precise folks in play to make sure that occurred, together with those that took the physique after she supposedly died. He had an affinity for killers and a darkish previous, however he hadn’t killed earlier than himself. So, it is sensible he would wish to maintain his greatest killers round, particularly the one feminine killer in his group.
Is the thought far-fetched? Sure. However is it doable? For a present that actually introduced its protagonist again to life after being shot within the chest, it’s completely conceivable that Mia was a part of an elaborate and harmful scheme, both hatched by Leon or by the guard with whom she inked a separate deal, figuring out what Charley had deliberate. For now, even when she is de facto useless and her file merely hasn’t but been marked “inactive,” Dexter has loads of different lively serial killer recordsdata to work his method by means of, and other people to go on the run from, in a hopeful new season.
