A brief recap of Dexter: Original Sin season 1 episode 6 before episode 7 arrives
In episode 6 titled The Joy of Killing, Dexter tries to get rid of Levi Reed’s body in Alligator Alley, but his careful plan starts falling apart when the police finds Tony Ferrer’s severed hand in the same spot. Tony is one of Dexter’s earlier victims, and this discovery connects his murder to the Miami PD’s investigation.
This episode also shows the kidnapping of Nicky Spencer, the son of Captain Aaron Spencer. A masked person takes Nicky, and the way it happens reminds the viewers of Jimmy Powell’s murder. The Miami PD thinks that these crimes might be linked to Rafael Campos from the Los Tigres cartel.
Amid the chaos, Dexter finds himself on a double date with Sofia, Debra, and Debra’s boyfriend, Gio. While it is difficult for Dexter to connect emotionally, the evening also brings moments of his unexpected intimacy with Sofia.
Fans can watch new episodes of Dexter: Original Sin on Paramount Plus and Showtime.
