Preview — Stumptown Season 1 Episode 16: All Quiet On the Dextern Front
Looks like we’re getting some backstory from Dex’s time in the military on Stumptown Season 1 Episode 16, “All Quiet On the Dextern Front,” and things look pretty intense.
Contrary to the more light-hearted episode suggested by the promo, the episode description and photos hint at flashbacks to a traumatic event in Dex’s military service and one perhaps connected to Benny’s death.
On Stumptown Season 1 Episode 14, “‘Til Dex Do Us Part,” Dex mentioned a choice she could have made that might have prevented Benny’s death. Are the memories triggered by her current case part of that choice?
In a less emotionally wrought development we also finally get to meet the girl Ansel has a crush on, and it’s about time. As intriguing and welcome as it is to get some more of Dex’s backstory and some answers about where her guilt comes from, the start of a possible romance for Ansel is even more exciting.
Are you more excited to get answers about Dex’s past or meet Ansel’s potential love interest?
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview!
Episode description: Dex takes on a new case helping a mother who has lost custody of her children, which triggers parallels to her time in Afghanistan. After memories of Afghanistan reemerge, Dex spirals and must face the reasons behind Benny’s death. Back at The Bad Alibi, Grey and Tookie coach Ansel on how to ask a girl out on a date
