Harry also seemed a little relieved that something had shaken Dexter, as it would have been more worrying if he hadn't been upset about a murdered child.

Despite having a body to examine, detectives still didn't have many clues that would lead them to the killer. They still think it may have been the cartel, although they are confused because the kidnappers never offered any demands or ransom and put Jimmy's body on display.

Dexter tried to kill Mad-Dog, but was hit by a car

Mad-Dog's public death will definitely cause problems for Dexter

At the end of Dexter: Original Sin episode 4, Dexter attacked Mad-Dog in his home, hitting him in the head with a guitar. While the killer was unconscious, Dexter prepared his killing room and, for the first time, displayed photos of Mad-Dog's victims along the wall. Unfortunately, while Dexter was undressing him, Mad-Dog woke up and was able to fight off Dexter long enough to start running down the street and get hit by a car.. It's unclear if Mad-Dog is still alive, but even if he is dead, the car accident will have major ramifications on Original sin.

Mad-Dog's apparent death could threaten to expose Dexter as a serial killer. Dexter will have a hard time explaining why Mad-Dog was running down the street in his underwear in the middle of the night to whoever was driving the car. Even if he manages to convince the driver that nothing illegal was happening, he will also have to somehow deal with Mad-Dog. If Mad-Dog survives, that means stopping him from waking up in the hospital and revealing Dexter as a killer, and if he dies, it means somehow getting rid of a body that someone else already knows exists..

Although Dexter: Original sin season one isn't even halfway done, the show is already upping the stakes considerably. Mad-Dog's car accident, combined with the evidence that was not destroyed in the Everglades in Original sin Episodes 2 and 3 threaten to put Dexter in prison. Meanwhile, Harry and Deb's relationship is headed toward disaster, and there's a killer on the loose in Miami that no one can identify yet.
