Dexter: Original Sin episode 9, 'Blood Drive,' delivers a thrilling showdown and introduces a new villain while delving into Brian Moser's past trauma and its impact on his current actions.
Dexter: Original Sin episode 9, 'Blood Drive', delivers a long-awaited showdown between Dexter Morgan and the series' primary antagonist while unexpectedly introducing a new villain to the mix. Episode 8 confirmed the return of Dexter's biological brother, Brian Moser , in the Original Sin timeline, escalating the threat level with the inclusion of Hector Estrada and the recently exposed child killer, Aaron Spencer .
Brian takes center stage in season 1's penultimate episode, raising a multitude of questions for the upcoming season finale. \The episode masterfully addresses a significant unanswered question from the original Dexter series, finally revealing the reason behind Brian and Dexter's separation after their mother, Laura, met a tragic end. It appears that Brian's Dark Passenger proved far more difficult to manage than Dexter's, nearly suffocating baby Deb due to her crying. Deb's introduction at Miami Metro in episode 9 and her first encounter with Maria LaGuerta carry an eerie undertone, considering the tumultuous nature of their relationship in Dexter season 7. \Brian Moser's return is precisely what Dexter: Original Sin needed. It effectively fills crucial gaps in Dexter's backstory while enriching the present-day narrative of Original Sin. The episode cleverly portrays how Harry served as a protective barrier between Brian Moser and Dexter. Brian, deeply scarred by their separation, was taken away by a social worker or child protective services agent, leading to a life of instability and loneliness. Brian seeks revenge against the social worker in episode 9, befriending her through multiple bingo nights before brutally attacking her in his van. Harry is aware of Brian's presence and his three confirmed murders, but chooses to conceal this information from Dexter to shield him. Brian's reappearance creates a seamless link between the prequel and season 1 of the original series. Unless showrunner Clyde Phillips plans a retcon of Brian and Dexter's reunion in season 1, which would have detrimental consequences, Brian has emerged as an unexpected yet perfect addition to the Dexter: Original Sin cast. While Brian's expanded role might seem like tampering with the sacred ground of the original series, his inclusion has been handled impeccably thus far. Finally unraveling the mystery behind their separation is precisely what the prequel series aims to achieve. It demonstrates Harry's crucial role in the events and presents him with a defining question: why didn't he arrest Brian when he had the opportunity? \Meanwhile, Patrick Dempsey's Aaron Spencer is running out of time to cement his position as a truly compelling Dexter villain. Spencer's villainous reveal was undeniably impressive, but his motivations remain unclear and underdeveloped. As Brian revs up a chainsaw in the final moments of episode 9, Dexter sets a trap for Aaron Spencer, one of the few targets to ever escape from Dexter's infamous kill table. Initially, this maneuver seems perplexing and incongruent with Dexter's modus operandi, risking a violation of Harry's cardinal rule, 'Don't get caught.' However, Dexter appears to retain control, with Spencer fleeing the scene with Dexter in pursuit, clutching his severed finger and photographs of his child victims. Spencer's actions are likely to lead Dexter to Nicky, adding another layer of heroism to Dexter's vigilante style if Nicky is rescued. It would be a remarkable turn of events if Harry refrained from assisting in Spencer's demise, considering Dexter possesses ample evidence to imprison him for life or, ultimately, end his reign of terror
