Dexter: Resurrection – Season 1 Episode 3 Recap & Review
Backseat Driver Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection begins with Dexter working on his RideShare driving gig in New York. He believes he's doing a good job but with a score of 4.2, he's in danger of getting his account shut down. Blessing encourages him not to take another fare for the night, which allows Dexter to focus on this Dark Passenger instead. Not his Dark Passenger obviously, but there's still a serial killer on the loose all the same, so it's time for the good doctor to step up his game. When Dexter sits down for dinner with Blessing and the family, Constance reveals that she's run a background check on him and knows that he's from Miami. Of course, he realizes he's being vetted here and points out flippantly about the deaths as the reason for him moving. The background check itself is actually compiled by a company called SafeHaven, and cost $75 a pop. Dexter believes it could help find his Ronald Schmidt and lo and behold, it works a treat. He finds Ronald's address and breaks in to his apartment. It doesn't take long for him to follow the clues up to a ceiling panel, which conceals the murder weapon and a book full of conquests. Interestingly, this is the same apartment Charley broke into earlier in the season. Dexter senses an opportunity and realizes this apartment is the perfect place to initiate his kill. 'See you soon, Red,' He taunts before going on the hunt. In the midst of this, Angel learns from Teddy that Dexter is currently in New York City. Our titular character is unaware of all this though, as Blessing has a care package for him during his RideShare gig. He has everything from mints to condoms, which should help get the score up. Meanwhile, Harrison is interviewed by Detective Wallace. She shows off the footage of Shauna at the bar, and Harrison plays along, pointing out that this is Ryan's wife, which matches the lies Ryan told the night of his death of course. Wallace continues, showing off the footage from the elevator, questioning his seemingly nonchalant attitude to Shauna being drugged. The interview is touch and go, especially when Harrison goes off-script, lying about his whereabouts and claiming he went to a bar and took a girl home. Wallace doesn't trust him, especially following Harrison's clues about using the service elevator, which doesn't have any cameras. It leads her down to the kitchen, where she tries to piece everything together. Tellingly, she looks up at the exact ceiling panel where a small spatter of blood was until Dexter took it down. The black bags are a big giveaway though, and following the clues outside, there's a slight reprieve from the truth when the camera here is obscured by bird poo. However, Harrison is shifty all the same, and his one-night-stand (which happens to be his alibi here) is not going to go away any time soon. This is only compounded further when Wallace questions him again. This time, she shows off the footage from the hotel cameras. There's nothing here that shows him leaving the building and the last video they have of him is exiting the elevator. It doesn't look good, and Harrison's confusion isn't helping matters. Wallace is smart, recounting almost a pitch-perfect recreation of the night Harrison killed Ryan. They want to make a deal with him and make this out to be a justifiable homicide rather than cold-blooded murder. Instead, Harrison confesses that he never left the hotel because he's homeless and sleeps in vacant rooms. His alibi for this happens to be his friend Elsa whom he works with. She covers for him and makes it clear that she certainly doesn't help asshole, but it's also her job on the line here and she's not happy with Harrison. That night, Dexter offers himself up as bait for the Dark Passenger. It works a treat and he manages to subdue Ronald while out on the road. He takes him over to the Kill Room, which happens to be the apartment of course. Now, Ronald believes he's justified in his actions, pointing out that his own father took his life after RideShare drivers moved in and took a lot of the business away from cabbies. Dexter eventually kills Ronald, having heard enough, and embraces the sweet, sweet euphoria of the kill. However, checking in Ronald's bag, he notices an invitation to an esteemed dinner for serial killers. This is the same dinner party that we earlier saw Charley preparing. Alongside this, there's a whole stack of money too. A dinner party for serial killers? That's an invitation Dexter can't turn down but for now, he burns Ronald's body and disposes of the evidence. It's touch and go for a bit, as he needs a thumbprint for evidence but it doesn't take long for him to grab what he needs. Alas, the hunt is well and truly on now! The Episode Review Dexter is back this week and there's a good deal of tension and development across both these storylines. Dexter successfully manages to goad Ronald into seeing him as a victim but our titular character is obviously too smart to fall for these cheap tricks. Seeing Dexter back on the warpath, killing again, is a nice touch and feels very reminiscent of the old Dexter, especially the way he's investigating and dishing out his own unique slice of justice. it certainly helps to go some way in undoing that poor ending to Dexter that annoyed a lot of fans. Unlike Dexter though, lady luck certainly isn't shining on Harrison. Wallace is a smart cop and she's pretty much sussed the entire story, only she obviously doesn't have the evidence to back it up. Harrison is no pushover but whether he's actually got enough to outsmart Wallace while she's on the warpath like this is unclear. However, we're still waiting for the point where these two stories are going to intersect because that could tip the scales in Dexter and Harrison's favour. Right now, it feels like two competing storylines wrestling for screen-time. The show has done well to keep things interesting across these 3 episodes though, although it's unclear how Charley and this 'serial killer dinner' plays into things. That subplot very much does feel like the only sticking point right now, but I'm sure we'll see more of this as time goes on. Roll on next week's episode!

Prime Video's new romantic drama movie looks like the perfect summer watch — and we just got the first trailer
Looking for a new romance to sweep you off your feet? Prime Video looks set to have you covered this August with the streaming service's next original movie — and we've just been treated to a trailer. The movie in question is "The Map That Leads To You." Based on the novel of the same name by J.P. Monniger, Lasse Hallström's movie sees a chance vacation meeting with Jack (KJ Apa, "Riverdale") changing Heather's (Madelyn Cline, "Outer Banks") life in ways she never thought possible. The trailer sets up the duo's respective travel plans, teases their train meet-cute, and then shows us scenes from their life-changing travel plans. While I'm not familiar with the novel it's based on, I'm happy to have my heart warmed by a feel-good film, and this teaser has my interest piqued, as Cline and Apa look to have solid chemistry together. That said, it also suffers from the trailer problem of maybe showing a little too much of the story. Regardless, you can look forward to watching the streamer's new romance soon. That's because "The Map That Leads To You" will start streaming exclusively on Prime Video from Wednesday, August 20, 2025. If you've not read the book, Amazon's released a synopsis for "The Map That Leads To You," so you know what to expect. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It reads: ""The Map That Leads To You" follows Heather (Cline), a young woman setting off on an adventure across Europe with her best friends before settling into her perfectly planned life. When she crosses paths with Jack (Apa), a magnetic and mysterious stranger, their instant spark ignites an emotional journey neither of them expected. As their connection deepens, secrets, life choices, and hidden truths will test their bond — and change her life in ways she never imagined. From director Lasse Hallström (Dear John, Safe Haven) comes this adaptation of JP Monninger's novel about love, destiny, and the courage to choose your own path." In addition to Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa, "The Map That Leads To You" also stars Sofia Wylie, Madison Thompson, Orland Norman, Josh Luca, Eva García Montiel and Giuseppe Schillaci.

Julianne Hough Details Freezing Her Eggs for the Third Time at 36 in Candid New Interview: 'I'm Reclaiming My Power' (Exclusive)
Julianne Hough is getting candid about her hopes for her next chapter of her life and career The Dancing with the Stars pro discusses her recent egg-freezing journey and went into the decision to do the process again for the third time She also reveals a non-negotiable when datingJulianne Hough was just 18 when she joined Dancing with the Stars as a professional dancer in 2007, with only $2,000 in her pocket after moving from Utah to Los Angeles. And now, 18 years later, Hough, 36, is reflecting on what she'd tell teenage Julianne, whose beginnings on the show would launch a career beyond her wildest dreams. After a pause, Hough says, "Honestly, I wouldn't tell her anything." "She got me here today," she continues. "It's so funny because I think we always want to give our younger selves advice, but you don't know what you don't know until you know it." "Every moment that I've gone through, whether it be painful mistakes, self-sabotaging, or being brave and taking a risk and putting yourself out there are just part of the journey," she says. "They build character." She left the show in 2009 and returned in 2014 to serve as a judge, a position she held until 2017. In the years she spent away from the show, she steadily carved out an acting career for herself with roles in films like 2010's Burlesque, 2011's Footloose, 2012's Rock of Ages and 2013's Safe Haven. She also played Sandy in the live Fox television production of Grease in 2016 and launched her Los Angeles dance and fitness studio KINRGY in 2018. "Being a founder is one of the hardest things you'll ever do because it's like you have an idea, and then you have to let it go and let it breathe and do its own thing," she says. "The best compliment I get is when people come up to me and are like, 'Wow, everybody who's here made me feel so welcomed. What you've created here has allowed me to connect to my body and my confidence." "I wasn't really showing it to be like, 'I'm going to make a big statement,' but with the response I got, I realized how important it was," she says. "I found out I have endometriosis when I was 19 or 20, and I wish back then I would've been told to freeze my eggs, but I wasn't told until later on." Hough's decision to undergo her most recent egg-freezing process, her third total, had a lot to do with freeing herself from the "psychological fear" of a ticking biological clock. Along with her endometriosis, "I have some other health implications that might make [conceiving] challenging, and I got a divorce and now I'm in a different stage of life," she says. "For me, it's never been about, 'I'm not ready,' but I know it is for some people. I think the time will be right when it's right." Since the first time she went through the egg-freezing process, Hough has noticed her growth. "It ain't easy when you're doing the shots, but I will say this time around, I had a much better understanding of what I needed," she says. "Also, the first time I did it, I didn't do the shots myself. I went in every day, and they did them for me. Then I was like, 'Wait, I feel really empowered doing them myself.' Along the way I was able to call friends who have gone through it at any moment and be like, 'Hey, I feel really crazy right now. Can you just come over and sit next to me?'" "I always cognitively tried to live my life where I wasn't concerned about what others thought, but to truly feel it is a different thing," she says. "Now, I see it as, 'This is my one life that I get to live, and I get to design it however I want.' I'm reclaiming my own power. Then, whatever is supposed to come will naturally come." "I think I have faith in general that I'm the person my person is also waiting for, you know?" she says. "If I'm ready for that next chapter of my life, it's because I'm in a really good place. So, I've just been focusing on what makes me happy and my vision of what I'm looking for, but not holding on too tightly. Me and my [dog] Sunny girl, we are happy, we are thriving, and creating space for whatever comes next." So "must love dogs" is a non-negotiable? "I'm not going to lie, I went on a date once and they said they didn't like dogs, and I was like, 'The date is over,'" she says with a laugh. "They even went one step further and were like, 'I mean, I guess I could like a dog if it was like a cat.' I was like, 'Oh my gosh, stop the car!'" Since 2023, she's co-hosted DWTS with Alfonso Ribeiro, and the duo are currently preparing for season 34 to kick off in September. She'll also return to the big screen in Maggie Gyllenhaal's Frankenstein-inspired film The Bride! premiering in 2026. "I haven't done a movie in a very long time," she says. "To be a part of this cast and to work with the director, Maggie, in a role where I felt like, 'Oh, I know I can do well in this,' after not having that be my focus for a long time was a beautiful experience and foray back into the world of acting and filmmaking." As she heads into a busy fall, Hough — who is also the new celebrity ambassador of Icelandic Glacial water — is debating on taking some much-deserved time off. "This year has been a little bit of a transition for me, and even during the pandemic I was building KINRGY, so I didn't really take a proper break," she says. "I'm about to start something new and it's going to take a lot of energy and focus, so I might just take July and August off." And yet, there's no doubt her vision for this next chapter will remain at the forefront of her mind. "I just want to be a space or a person or a product that allows people to connect to their most authentic version of themselves," she says. "This next season of my life is more about taking all the things that I've learned and sort of passing it along in a way where it activates other people to step into their power."

Dollar set to end week on upbeat note, buoyed by safe-haven appeal
The US dollar index, which compares the US currency against six others, is poised for a 0.5% climb this week. (Freepik pic) NEW YORK : The US dollar was set to log its biggest weekly rise in over a month today, as uncertainties about a raging war in the Middle East and the repercussions it could have on the global economy fuelled an appetite for traditional safe havens. The dollar index comparing the US currency against six others is poised for a 0.5% climb this week. The conflict between Israel and Iran shows no signs of subsiding and market participants are nervous about potential US intervention in the region. The two countries have been in a week-long air battle as Tel Aviv seeks to thwart Tehran's nuclear ambitions and cripple the domestic government. The White House said US President Donald Trump will make a decision within the next two weeks about whether to join Israel in the war. The resultant recent spike in oil prices added a new layer of inflation uncertainty for central banks across regions, which have been grappling with the potential repercussions of US tariffs on their economies. 'Rising oil prices introduce inflation uncertainty at a time when growth is weakening,' said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. 'That makes central banks' jobs much harder – do they ease to support growth or hold back to avoid fueling inflation? 'Most seem to be prioritising growth concerns for now, assuming that crude gains may not be sustained,' Chanana said. In early Asia trading, the euro inched up 0.16% to US$1.151, while the dollar weakened against the yen by 0.17% to 145.23 per dollar. Also underpinning the yen's gains was hotter-than-expected inflation data that kept expectations for upcoming interest rate hikes alive. Furthermore, minutes from the Bank of Japan's policy meet this week showed policymakers agreed on the need to keep raising rates that are still at very low levels. The Swiss franc was flat at 0.816 per dollar today but was set for its largest weekly drop since mid-April after the country's central bank lowered borrowing costs. Swiss rates now stand at 0%. Currencies positively correlated to risk sentiment such as the Australian and New Zealand dollars were steady, while sterling was little changed at US$1.34. Although the Federal Reserve earlier this week stuck with its forecast of two interest rate cuts this year, chair Jerome Powell cautioned against giving that view too much weight. Analysts saw the central bank's delivery as a 'hawkish tilt' further underpinning the greenback's gains this week. Investors were, however, taken aback by an unexpected 25 basis point interest rate cut by Norges bank and the krone is down by more than 1% against the dollar this week. Though geopolitical tensions were the main market focus this week, concerns about tariffs and the impact they may have on costs, corporate margins and overall growth are ever-present. These concerns have weighed on the dollar, which is down about 9% this year. Trump's early July tariff deadline looms and sources said that European officials are increasingly resigned to a 10% rate on 'reciprocal' tariffs being the baseline in any trade deal between the US and the EU. Elsewhere, the offshore yuan was little changed at 7.185 after China kept benchmark lending rates unchanged as expected.
