Is Camilla Hiding Dexter’s Dark Secret in Original Sin’s Shocking Finale?

Warning! If you haven’t watched the final episode of ‘Dexter: Original Sin’, broadcasted on Showtime or accessible with a Paramount+ subscription, some information below may spoil your viewing experience.

In its final episode, “Dexter: Original Sin” Season 1 has come to an end, leaving fans eagerly waiting for updates about Season 2. However, I can’t help but share a speculative theory that could potentially contradict information from the original series. Here’s what strikes me as intriguing: after observing young Dexter’s interchanges with Camilla, the character played by Sarah Kinsey, I have an inkling that she might be intuitive to the fact that he is a serial killer, despite not consciously knowing it yet.

Following the unexpected reveal of Brian Moser and his confrontation with Harry in the Dexter prequel, it seems plausible that Camilla has valid reasons to remain tight-lipped regarding her colleagues’ private matters. This could be why she’s managed to keep Dexter’s double life hidden for so long. Here’s my reasoning: Given that she might know about the inner workings of her coworkers, particularly if they share a ‘Dark Passenger,’ it may complicate the original show’s narrative and character development if she is aware.

Why I Think Camilla Might Suspect Dexter Is A Killer In Dexter: Original Sin

In the original series, it was established that Camilla and Harry were close friends, but the new show “Dexter: Original Sin” reveals just how strong their bond is. The file clerk went to great lengths for her friend by deleting any mention of the Shipping Yard Murders at Miami Metro, ensuring that anyone investigating Brian Moser wouldn’t discover he is Dexter’s biological brother.

It’s common knowledge that Camilla has a close relationship with the Morgans, allowing Dexter to utilize her boat whenever he needs, even during late hours. Given her familiarity with the family, it’s likely she was aware of information the audience wasn’t: Brian had temporarily lived with the Morgans before being returned to foster care after attempting to smother baby Debra. Considering this background, wouldn’t it be reasonable for her to suspect something amiss about Harry’s adopted son, given his efforts to keep his past hidden from public scrutiny?

As a passionate cinephile, I find myself pondering over the intriguing direction that “Dexter: Original Sin” might take, given that Camilla is being presented with sufficient proof to suspect Dexter Morgan as a serial killer. The question arises, how could such a dramatic twist be executed without undermining or altering the established relationship between Dexter and Camilla, as we’ve witnessed in the original “Dexter”? This plot development certainly promises an engaging narrative journey ahead!

The Theory Could Be Valid, But Would It Conflict With What We Know From The Original Series?

Fans of Dexter might recall a pivotal moment where the main character encountered Camilla upon learning that she had deliberately destroyed evidence related to his mother’s murder, following Harry’s instructions. Later on, she revealed details from the files to him, stating that Harry aimed to shield his son from the truth. After this incident, they managed to move past it, and she continued to provide him with case files he found intriguing. Although she occasionally wondered about his motives for these files, she did not delve too deeply into the matter.

More On Dexter

Dexter: Among numerous reasons why Original Sin is an exceptional show, there’s one particular element that makes it my absolute favorite new series.

In the subsequent plot development, Camilla’s illness from lung cancer advanced to the point where she needed hospice care and was suffering greatly. In a moment of deep distress, she implored Dexter to take her life, as her Catholic faith held that suicide meant eternal torment. Initially resistant due to his code, Dexter eventually ended Camilla’s life by giving her a pie laced with a sedative.

Initially, I assumed it might be an issue if Camilla learned Dexter was a murderer before she died, but now I’m curious as to why she asked him to kill her. It seems like an extraordinary request, one that most people would instantly reject upon consideration. Could it be that in her agony, Camilla unintentionally revealed a secret she had harbored for a long time?

In the series Dexter: Original Sin, it raises a question when Camilla suspects Dexter is a serial killer. Given this suspicion, one might wonder why she didn’t act on her suspicions earlier. The puzzle lies in Camilla’s apparent upstanding character, as she destroyed evidence but didn’t go so far as to report Dexter or share her concerns with someone else. This seems odd, given that she knew of his potential for violence.

Even though young Dexter might have tried his best to clean up, I doubt he managed to remove every trace of blood from her boat. It’s plausible that this unremoved blood could spark her suspicions, providing an exciting new angle for the prequel to explore, revealing untold stories. This is just a speculative thought, and it may not be the most rock-solid theory, but I find the concept intriguing.

Watch the series “Dexter: Original Sin” instantly using your Paramount+ account. This prequel certainly lived up to my expectations as a Dexter fan, so here’s hoping it continues for additional episodes!
