It seems that before Deb, Dexter found himself in a similar position when dealing with LaGuerta's behavior.
Only a few hours remain until Episode 104 of Dexter: Original Sin becomes available on Paramount+. True to tradition, Showtime has shared a sneak peek on its official Dexter accounts on Instagram and Facebook, offering fans a glimpse of a key scene from tomorrow's episode, titled "Fender Bender."
The clip features Miami Metro detective Maria LaGuerta (played by Christina Milian) and Dexter Morgan (played by Patrick Gibson) at a crime scene near a beach in Miami. Although LaGuerta has been with Miami Metro for just a few days, her strict and commanding demeanor towards rookie Dexter is evident. Despite his inexperience, Dexter’s sharp instincts for solving crimes shine through.
LaGuerta's behavior in this clip mirrors how she treated Debra in the early episodes of the original series, creating a tense dynamic that longtime fans will immediately recognize. Moments like this one make you wonder: when exactly did Maria LaGuerta begin developing her crush on Dexter? This storyline was unmistakable in Season 1 but was seemingly abandoned by the writers at the start of Season 2.
Episode 104, "Fender Bender," will premiere on Paramount+ with Showtime plan at 12:01 AM EST. While you wait, check out the latest sneak peek below—and beware of spoilers!
