Camera Shy (Dexter: Resurrection)

A man boards a rideshare drive, where he starts a conversation with the driver, Stanley Touissant. The man is very intimidating, and speaks in a very dark tone, worrying Stanley. Stanley is then notified that the man is not his passenger, and the man garrotes him. He forces him to drive to a location, while taunting him over his family. The following morning, Stanley's car is found with his headless corpse (and his head) inside.

Dexter sneaks through a backdoor in The Empire Hotel and investigates the room Ryan was murdered in. He is perplexed at how well Harrison cleaned the scene and notes the plastic curtain liner has been replaced, the original having been used to wrap Ryan's body. Claudette and Melvin enter the room and Dexter hides in the closet. Claudette correctly deduces that the curtain liner and the toilet tank lid were used in the murder and replaced. She then leaves to get a warrant to check all the other hotel rooms to confirm the theory. Deducing that Harrison used the hotel's kitchen to dismember the body, Dexter investigates the scene after everyone leaves, and notices a drop of blood on the ceiling, which he proceeds to clean. After his truck is towed, Dexter is forced to call a rideshare driver. During the ride, the driver, Blessing Kamara, explains that a serial killer has been targeting rideshare drivers, and Dexter is shocked when he learns that the killer's nickname is "the Dark Passenger".

In Michigan, Charley stalks a serial killer, informing him that for violating the terms of an arrangement, her "boss" will stop dealing with him. When the man tries to negotiate, Charley kills him with one of his spiked baseball bats. Harrison begins to feel guilt over Ryan's murder, and he continues to be haunted by the memory of shooting Dexter. After briefly spotting Dexter (but believing it to be an hallucination), Harrison sells the truck that he gave him in an attempt to move on. Angel meets with Teddy to discuss Dexter's possible whereabouts, as well as learning a few of his activities in Iron Lake.

Hoping to find more about the Dark Passenger, Dexter accepts Blessing's invitation to a house party with his friends. There, he talks with a man who survived his encounter with the serial killer. The man tells Dexter that the killer bore a resemblance to Dexter himself. He shows Dexter dashcam footage of the encounter, but the killer, having been wearing a camera-shy hoodie, is unable to be identified. After Dexter reveals he is homeless, Blessing convinces him to move into a vacant basement apartment under his own. Dexter buys a new car and, in order to pursue the killer, acquires a job as a rideshare driver.

While studying the dashcam footage, Dexter sees that the killer had a backpack with the logo of Bridge Data Network, a cybersecurity company. Scrolling through the list of employees, he takes an interest in Ronald Schmidt, who has no online presence. He conducts a stakeout, where he finally identifies Ronald by taking a picture of him wearing his camera-shy hoodie. Just as Ronald prepares to board a rideshare drive, Dexter approaches and claims the ride is for him, prompting Ronald to leave on the subway. Dexter attempts to follow, but Ronald manages to evade him. Harry notes that Dexter prioritized the safety of Ronald's next victim rather than kill him, which is unusual for him.
