Dexter: Original Sin has reached the midseason peak with the airing of the latest episode, Fender Bender. The upcoming fifth episode of Dexter: Original Sin will be released on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, at 10 PM ET/PT on Showtime.

The upcoming episode of the Dexter prequel show is titled F is for F**k Up and will continue the narrative as Patrick Gibson's Dexter comes into his own skin as a serial killer.

The fourth episode of Dexter: Original Sin ended on a high note with the mob hitman known as Mad Dog managing to escape Dexter's murder room and running half-naked down the street in the middle of the night before being run over by a car.

As the fourth episode didn't make it clear whether Mad Dog died in the closing minutes, his fate is up for debate and the fifth episode might shed more light on this.

On the other hand, the flashbacks on Dexter: Original Sin has already revealed that Harry Morgan and Laura Moser were having an affair with Harry cheating on his wife Doris. The upcoming episode could be expected to continue this narrative thread that is bound to end tragically with Laura Moser's murder by Hector Estrada.

On the other hand, if the Mad Dog were to escape death and wake up in a hospital, Dexter's cover might be blown, bringing to light his killer tendencies.
