Dexter: Original Sin Episode 3 & 4 Recap: Maria LaGuerta’s Arrival

To start off, I have to mention how strange Showtime’s release schedule is, giving me two episodes to review this week. But let’s dive into the latest happenings in Dexter: Original Sin. The show kicks off with a trailer for Dexter: Resurrection, teasing some exciting things to come this summer. Interestingly, it seems like the entire series might be a flashback that Dexter is narrating, which adds an interesting twist to the storytelling.

One thing that really stood out to me in these episodes is the development of Captain Spencer’s character. The show seems to be hinting at his involvement in Jimmy’s kidnapping, which later turns into murder. Spencer’s outrage and determination to find the perpetrator make me suspect that he knows more than he’s letting on. It will be interesting to see how this storyline unfolds.

Debra’s subplot in these episodes takes a dark turn as she gets involved in fake cocaine, which poses serious risks to her health. Her impulsive decisions and reckless behavior really showcase her character flaws, making her a frustrating yet compelling character to watch. And let’s not forget about her questionable choices when it comes to blackmailing Dexter – a bold move that is sure to have consequences.

The introduction of Maria LaGuerta to the show is a highlight, shedding light on the prejudices and challenges faced by women, racial minorities, and LGBTQ individuals in law enforcement. LaGuerta’s uncompromising nature and determination to bring about change make her a compelling addition to the cast. It’s also interesting to see Dexter’s evolution, as he continues to refine his methods and rituals for carrying out his dark deeds.

As we approach the halfway point of the season, there are plenty of mysteries and storylines to unravel. From solving little Jimmy’s murder to confronting Debra’s drug use, there’s no shortage of drama in Dexter: Original Sin. And with the looming threat of Laura Moser’s death hanging over the season, it’s clear that things are only going to get more intense from here on out. Stay tuned for the next episode to see how it all unfolds!
