Much as I like Dex, he (along with Dan and Jackie) has engaged in textbook bullying behaviour.

Initially, he was himself bullied in the house, and may well carry that feeling of being bullied with him to the present time. But from the moment he came out of the safe house he bullied Callum.

Typical bully behaviour is not just to target the victim, but to convince everybody around them that the victim is themselves the instigator: turn everybody against the target and create a situation where everybody watching thinks that the victim deserves their harsh treatment.

Dex is a clever bully. And now he will do the same with Sam. And we, the viewing public will swallow it, just as we did with Callum.

He managed to do such a good job with Callum that people still think he was the instigator and Dex the innocent victim.
