Chilling Ice Truck Killer Easter Egg in Dexter: Original Sin Episode 6 Thrills Fans

The Dexter prequel just revealed another fantastic Easter egg from the original series!

Dexter: Original Sin Season 1 has officially passed its midway point with the release of Episode 6, titled "The Joy of Killing." This episode sees Dexter striving to get his new life as a serial killer back on track, only to face yet another major obstacle. These challenges set the stage for more intense developments in the episodes to come.

As showrunner Clyde Phillips has emphasized in multiple interviews, easter eggs play a vital role in this prequel series. The writers and producers have meticulously incorporated references to the original series, ranging from subtle callbacks that require a sharp eye to more obvious nods that any fan can spot.

The latest episode, "The Joy of Killing," features one such easter egg that falls into the latter category. Spoilers ahead for Episode 6!

Episode 6 Easter Egg: The Return of the Ice Truck

At approximately the 36-minute mark of Episode 6, viewers witness a young, determined Dexter Morgan (played by Patrick Gibson) stalking Levi Reed through the streets of Miami. Reed is a criminal who escaped conviction despite Harry's certainty that he’s guilty of murder.

During this tense pursuit, Dexter’s mission is interrupted by a large white truck that nearly hits him. Fans immediately noticed something familiar: the back of the truck displayed a logo reading "Miami Chills Ice Refrigerated Delivery."

This truck—and its logo—is identical to the one used by the Ice Truck Killer (Dexter’s biological brother, Brian Moser) in the original series. In Season 1 of the original Dexter, the Ice Truck Killer committed his infamous "no blood" murders using a stolen Miami Chills truck, a detail heavily featured in the pilot episode.

The images below showcase the striking similarity between the trucks in both series.

Could Brian Moser Be the Driver of the Ice Truck?

While the connection is intriguing, it’s highly unlikely that Brian Moser is driving the Miami Chills truck in Dexter: Original Sin. Here’s why:

• At this point in the timeline—15 years before the events of Dexter Season 1—Brian Moser had not yet developed the meticulous "no blood" ritual he later used to communicate with Dexter.
• The Miami Chills company is established in the Dexter universe as a legitimate business, delivering ice to local bars and restaurants.

Is Brian Moser in Dexter: Original Sin?

Interestingly, fans have speculated that Brian Moser has already made an appearance in the prequel. In Episode 2, "Kid in a Candy Store," a brief scene shows a mysterious man politely asking Dexter if the chair at his table is taken.

Many viewers noted this character’s striking resemblance to Brian Moser from the original series, right down to his hairstyle and demeanor. Played by Roby Attal, the character is credited as "restaurant patron" on IMDb—a curious detail considering Attal is followed by several cast members on social media. This connection seems unusual for a character with such a brief appearance, leading fans to suspect he could indeed be Brian.

What’s Next for Dexter and the Easter Eggs?

The appearance of the Miami Chills truck—and potentially Brian Moser—adds layers of intrigue to Dexter: Original Sin. Whether these connections are foreshadowing major plot developments or simply nods to devoted fans, one thing is clear: the prequel is masterfully weaving its narrative with callbacks to the original series.

Stay tuned as Dexter navigates his dark path, and keep an eye out for more easter eggs that may reveal new connections between the past and present.
