Dexter: Original Sin season 1 episode 3: Did Dex kill Tony Ferrer?
Tony Ferrer, a brutal loan shark, caught Dexter’s attention after Angel Batista told him about Ferrer’s dark past. Ferrer had lent money to Rene Carballo, a Cuban immigrant, and ended up mistakenly killing Rene’s mother during a violent argument.
Overwhelmed by guilt, Rene later took his own life, leaving Ferrer’s crime unpunished. This unfairness deeply affected Dexter, pushing him to take action in Dexter: Original Sin season 1 episode 3.
Dexter carefully planned Ferrer’s kill. First, he pretended to be Patrick Bateman to earn Ferrer’s trust. He borrowed money from Ferrer and tricked him into firing a warning shot, which proved Ferrer’s guilt in Rene Carballo’s murder.
Once Dexter had the evidence, he got Harry’s hesitant approval to move forward. Dexter then led Ferrer to the jai alai arena where they had first met. There, he overpowered Ferrer and forced him to confess. Using a jai alai ball as a weapon, Dexter knocked Ferrer out before finishing him off.
The ending of Dexter: Original Sin season 1 episode 3 suggests the beginning of trouble for Dex
Dexter managed to kill Ferrer, but the way he handled the aftermath suggested there could be trouble ahead. He dumped Ferrer’s body in the Everglades, expecting the alligators to take care of it.
However, they didn’t finish the job, leaving behind Ferrer’s arm, which had a distinctive ring on it. This mistake could give the police a clue that points directly to Dexter.
To make things worse, Dexter also threw Nurse Mary’s earrings in the same spot. If Ferrer’s arm is found, the police might find evidence linking Dexter to more than one murder.
This slip-up in how Dexter disposes of his victims hints that his methods will need to improve. It might even lead to the creation of his famous boat, the Slice of Life.
Other highlights of Dexter: Original Sin season 1 episode 3

Dexter’s clever solution of using caffeine powder and benzocaine demonstrated his creativity and added some light, funny moments to the story.
Finally, Sofia having Nurse Mary’s earrings led to an awkward misunderstanding. Dexter’s focus on the earrings made Sofia and Dex’s father and sister think he had romantic feelings for her, which ended in an uncomfortable kiss later. This subplot added depth to Dexter’s awkward social interactions, balancing the episode’s darker elements.
