Dexter: Original Sin Recap: Meet the Parents

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Tanya gets to live for a while because it’s fun having Sarah Michelle Gellar boss Dexter around.

After the table-setting of the series premiere, it makes sense that the show would want to expand its world a bit — here’s hoping it’s careful not to collapse under its own weight so early in the run. Dexter’s first-ever crime scene is in Little Havana — cue “Conga,” and shout-out to Original Sin ’s music budget — where a man is dead in a parking lot with a bullet wound to the head. If you don’t know your Dexter lore, these are our title psychopath’s parents, and that’s made clear later in the episode when Laura introduces Harry to young Dex and her other son, Brian (the future Ice Truck Killer).
