[Warning: The following post contains spoilers for Dexter: Original Sin Episodes 2 and 3, “Kid in a Candy Store” and “Miami Vice.”]
You understand the one. There’s a scene in Dexter that’s so disturbing it makes every part about Dexter Morgan all of the sudden make sense. Right here he’s, a two-year-old little one who’s been left for lifeless and screaming in a pool of his personal mom’s blood after watching her be dismembered by the cartel. He’s discovered and immediately adopted by Harry Morgan, who tries to supply him with a protected and loving dwelling, however the trauma has already been tattooed on the boy’s coronary heart and thoughts.
Dexter followers have seen flashes of this scene so many instances, and it appears like that second could come again into play in an enormous method in Dexter: Unique Sin — and probably with a brand new element we haven’t seen earlier than.
In Episode 2 of the Paramount+ with Showtime prequel sequence, “Child in a Sweet Retailer,” we see younger Harry (Christian Slater) and his accomplice Bobby Watt (Reno Wilson) arresting Laura Moran and her drug-dealing boyfriend with hopes of flipping one in all them — with Laura proving to be the simpler mark because of her love of her two sons and want to go dwelling to them as an alternative of rotting in a jail cell.
Then, in Episode 3, we see the start of how that cooperation settlement works; Laura makes efforts to maneuver up within the prison underworld and retains her cool beneath stress when grilled on why she must be trusted. As smooth-talking as she is with the cartel liaison, although, audiences are shortly reminded of the ugly destiny that awaits her once they take her to the shipyard, and Harry will get nervous about being out of contact along with her. This time, she’s profitable and walks away unscathed, however we all know there’ll be a subsequent time.
Actor Reno Wilson, whose Bobby Watt is a newcomer to the franchise written particularly for Unique Sin, hinted to TV Insider that the character will likely be there for a really iconic scene from the unique franchise… though we didn’t understand it earlier than.
After we requested Wilson if he was conscious of the darkish aspect Dexter had since he was round through the period of the Laura Moser homicide, he stated, “No. However I’ll say there’s a very iconic second that Bobby is part of that we didn’t know that he was part of it watching the unique sequence.”
Does that imply there’s yet one more witness to the mayhem that unfolds for the Moser household? And in that case, what’s he going to make of Harry’s resolution to take Dexter in and go away the opposite boy, Brian Moser, within the foster system? Extra importantly, does this have one thing to do with why we don’t meet Bobby within the occasions of the unique sequence?
We’ll have to attend and see how this all unfolds when Dexter: Unique Sin returns for the subsequent episode on December 27.
