Dexter: Resurrection' EP Clyde Phillips on Dexter's return from the dead, Harrison's first kill, John Lithgow's and Doakes' cameos and Uma Thurman.

The aptly-named continuation of the popular Dexter franchise not only revived Hall's titular serial killer after his confirmed death at the end of Dexter: New Blood, it also brought back three very familiar — and very, very dead — characters from the original series.

Dexter: Resurrection fans are a bit concerned after the latest episode brought back a controversial person from the original show.
