‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Team on Finale’s Major Murder, ‘Resurrection’ Plans and How Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Character Is ‘Feeding the Beast’

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “Code Blues,” the Season 1 finale of “Dexter: Original Sin,” now streaming on Paramount+ With Showtime.

Over the course of just a few weeks in 1991, Dexter Morgan came into his own as a serial killer. At least that’s how he tells it (through voiceover narration by OG Dexter, Michael C.

Hall) at the end of the first season of Showtime’s prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin.” In the finale, Dexter (played in his 20s by Patrick Gibson) satisfies the rage of his “dark passenger” by killing his first-ever big bad — Miami Metro Police captain Aaron Spencer (Patrick Dempsey), who, it turns out, was trying to get revenge on his ex-wife by kidnapping and attempting to kill their son, Nicky.

While Dexter has never been the epitome of moral superiority, he has always drawn the line at endangering children. You can thank the traumatized kid who watched his mom be cut to pieces with a chainsaw by drug lords for that admirable hard limit.
