Dexter: Original Sin Episode 4 Review - Dexter’s First Fatal Mistake Brings With It A Heart-Stopping Cliffhanger Twist
Dexter: Original Sin episode 4 extends episode 3’s great momentum, introducing Dexter’s third target and his first major rookie mistake.
Since Dexter is not at the stage where he starts sedating his targets with a tranquilizer via syringe, he has been using his brute force to incapacitate them, which Mad Dog proves doesn’t always have lasting effects. Dexter runs into his first major dilemma with his newfound killing spree after Mad Dog escapes and gets hit by a car.He may even have to report on the scene to investigate Mad Dog’s bodyif the driver of the car that hit him speeds off in a hit-and-run incident, which would make it a crime.
Mad-Dog was tied up and only in his boxers when he apparently died, which will automatically raise suspicions of the Miami Metro PD. Plus, his house is full of plastic wrap from Dexter preparing to kill him, whichDexter likely rushed back to and removed all evidence of him being there. If Mad-Dog is as dead as he appears to be at the end ofDexter: Original Sinepisode 4, Dexter will need to cover his tracks completely to avoid placing a target on his own back. If he’s not dead, then Dexter needs to make sure Mad-Dog can’t ID him in episode 5, aptly titled “F Is For F**k-Up.”
