Dexter Original Sin fans were shocked to learn that a longtime fan theory was correct about the Ice Truck Killer in episode 8 of the series.
Well, the prequel series has been exploring Dexter Morgan’s younger years, but it just teased a huge connection to one of his deadliest enemies—his own brother, Brian Moser.
Revealing the Origins of the Ice Truck Killer
Dexter: Original Sin has slowly peppered in details to suggest that Brian Moser is out there somewhere throughout. An unnamed man previously had a brief interaction with Dexter at a restaurant earlier this season, which caused fans to theorize that he may have been the Ice Truck Killer. But it seemed a long shot — with scant evidence to lend it credence — until now.
Episode 8 had the first huge game-changing moment with Harry and LaGuerta finding a patient file belonging to Brian Moser while investigating the NHI murders. The revelation indicates Brian was the NHI killer the whole time, and his early days as a serial killer, before embracing the Ice Truck Killer persona. A photograph contained in the file confirmed that the man seen earlier in the season was indeed Brian.
What This Means for Dexter’s Story
This revelation reframes much of what fans believed to know about Dexter. It indicates that Brian had been killing as long as Dexter himself, using victims for experimentation before going on to become the infamous Ice Truck Killer. Unlike Dexter, whose murderous impulses were counseled and directed by Harry’s code, Brian appears to have been motivated by his own disturbed sensibilities, hunting people he was likely infatuated with from his own brutal history.
Well, one big question remains: Are Brian and Dexter destined to meet again? Because Dexter didn’t know his brother existed at all in the original series, any potential connection will probably be a subtle one in Original Sin. But Harry, now well aware of Brian’s killings, may force Dexter to take extreme measures to cover up his wrongdoings to protect his father, creating another moral quandary.
Setting Up for the Finale
With only two more episodes to go before the first-ever season of Dexter Original Sin comes to a close, the pressure is mounting. The series has been able to both join and advance the lexicon of Dexter locksmiths slashers — as well as keep the torturous familiarity of cliff-honing fans. Meanwhile, there’s also anticipation building for Dexter: Resurrection, which will see Michael C. Hall returning as Dexter in a follow-up to Dexter: New Blood.
With Dexter: Original Sin moving towards a conclusion, it’s no wonder fans are keen to have their fingers on the pulse of how this new twist will affect the series and how much it will tie into the grander details of the wider Dexter lore. Be on the lookout for more stunning disclosures!
