Preview — Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 4: Fender Bender
In the gripping opening of Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 Episode 4, “Fender Bender,” we’re confronted with a harrowing scene. A firefighter emerges from a burning building, cradling a terrified little boy in his arms. The child’s screams pierce the air, setting a chilling predictive tone for the upcoming episode.
The action cuts to a visibly shaken Dexter at a crime scene. His “Cool Hand Luke” facade slips, and we witness his vulnerability and confusion. Could this unexpected moment shape Dexter’s future methodology?
Next, it’s deep night, and a woman is being strangled outdoors. This hints the crime is beyond brutal, explaining Dexter’s deep disturbance.
The investigation takes a dark turn as the details of the killer’s motives come to light. “Our killer wanted to feel the life leaving, wanted to look into the victim’s eyes,” a voice intones, implying a deeply personal aspect to the murder. For Dexter, this is a crucial insight and could potentially influence “code.”
The Dexter: Original Sin Episode 4 trailer concludes with a provocative question that could push Dexter closer to embracing his true nature: “If anyone deserves to be killed, it’s whoever did this. Do you have someone in mind?” This loaded query hints at Dexter’s moral dilemmas as he navigates his dark impulses.
