I don't remember that incident right now. Maybe from an earlier season?:-)
[Reply]

But what is better: Exposing the assitant chief of police for a murder, when you don't have enough seniority to take the spot or covering it up, with no connection to yourself, as she is not directly related to the case officially, and put the assistant chief in your pocket?
[Reply]

True, but how many episodes has the captain/newly assistant chief been in? He's seen in two roles at this point in the series: as a direct relationship to Dexter's dad (old school cop), and as an @$$hole that acts as a foil to LaGuerta, Deb, and on the rare occasion Dexter. I don't see him as the type to solicit escorts, and second of all, what would be more dramatic/entertaining for viewers of this show: The captain/deputy chief being exposed or Quinn on an alcoholic binge getting caught up in a possible murder rap?

Quinn didn't show up to the crime scene coincidentally and LaGuerta unexpectedly arrived at the scene, yet she hasn't been at the scene of any of the more high profile scenes in this season. Quinn not being at this crime scene makes me suspect it's him that is involved, but I'm not sure yet why LaGuerta would be protecting him at this point.



These are just my thoughts on the situation at hand. I'm not trying to start an argument over it, but yet the debate has been entertaining today. Jason and Mickey, I'd love to see what you think about the points I made above. Best discussion and insight we've had about this season so far, second to Drew's insight about the DDK being only one person, rather than two.

Good point about Quinn not being there, but Angel wasn't there either. You know, hasn't Angel been with a hooker before? That would make the most sense out of all of them now that I think about it because I don't see selfish ass La Guerta helping anyone she didn't owe or could get something from. hmmmm.
[Reply]

Just thought of something...didn't the girl that Travis released say that there was 2 people? A younger one and an older guy? I think I need to re-watch Sunday's episode to be certain, but I thought that's what she said.
[Reply]

Good point. Angel got picked up by an undercover cop in an earlier season, plus he's the closest to La Guerta (ex-husband) on the show. Hmmm... Could be.:-)
[Reply]

Yes, which threw me off for a minute. But she only heard two separate voices. She was always blindfolded, so she never actually SAW anyone.

The professor hitting his apprentice with a shovel in this episode through me off a bit too. But I think that was just a way to act out onscreen the transition from one personality to the other.
[Reply]

...or she could be doing Quinn. :-)
[Reply]

That's an interesting twist and as Wanger said maybe she is doing Quinn, he is in a f*kd up place right now.....LaGuerta used to have the hots for Dexter (Season 1) and that is where I got confused about Deb going over LaGuerta's head and to the cheif (season 1) :-) about that. (Wife is watching season 1 for the 1st time and I am re-watching with her)

I could have swore that Angel was there, was it just Masuka?

As much as I want to believe the split personality thing, I just can't I mean they have pics of Gellar....so he does exist unless his spirit is in the kid (name escapes me) kinda like Chucky lol

:-)
[Reply]

Gellar could easily be the manifestation of the kids dark passenger (at least I think that is possible after it was brought up, didn't even occur to me until it was) just like Dexter's brother and Dad are manifestations.
[Reply]

interesting thoughts about who was there when the hooker died, I had liked Quinn for it, but after reading your thoughts am leading towards Angel
[Reply]

I thought Angel was there as well, but I could be wrong. I'll have to rewatch it OnDemand.


Yes, Gellar is a real person, at least he was a real person. According to the storyline, he went missing a few years ago (or went missing before the murders started taking place. I do remember specifically that LaGuerta as soon as she arrived asked why someone was not at the crime scene, but I'm not sure if it was Angel or Quinn. Probably Angel.
Me too. Interesting angle on Angel.
[Reply]

That would be a very interesting plot twist, considering Angel and Quinn are now partners. There was that episode during this season where Quinn mentioned the "partner code", yet Quinn seems to be breaking the "partner code" more often than Angel is.

Interesting insight to the series. I posted my predictions upon the issues we've discussed here so far at that site.
[Reply]

I suspect that LaGuerta is covering for the Assistant Chief. She already blackmailed him to get her promotion, mentioning finding his name in some Madam's Little Black Book. But maybe that's just too obvious.
[Reply]

Wow very interesting episode tonight. Some of you were VERY close to being right.
[Reply]

Good episode. I was right on a few things, and wrong on a few others. When I saw the freezer in the basement, I immediately knew what was in it.
[Reply]

Finally watched the latest episode last night.

Not overly surprised when I saw that Gellar was dead. The question is how long he's been dead, and if he had any hand in the killings at all. Plus, how the hell is Dexter going to get out of this one, with Travis knowing who he is now. I think he's going to have to find a way to have the kid killed without exposing himself. And allowing his dark passenger to do it will not help the situation.

Now the dead hooker situation. That will be interesting to see how LaGuerta handles that one. Will Deb figure it out? Will they find someone else to pin it on?

And Quinn...he's a mess! Hooking up with the Waffle House woman. LMAO!!! "Oh, we took pics". Ha ha ha ha ha. I have a feeling he's going to get killed at some point, from being drunk and in the wrong place, or he'll kill someone while drunk. One way or another, I don't think it'll end well for him.

Is it Sunday night yet?
[Reply]

I can't remember did the rest of the gang get a lead on Travis? Were they on the way to the church? I thought I remember hearing Dex say something about not being able to get to Travis in time.....so here is what I am thinking I am thinking that the cops will come in and take care of Travis, and they will find Dex in the basement and he will play the innocent role somehow and they will find Gellar and case closed.

The hooker thing I KNEW it was the chief, I even told my wife this, not sure how it's going to play with Deb though. Chief can be pretty vindictive when he wants.

I think Quinn will end up in rehab.......he is boring me to death this season.
[Reply]

I believe it was before they find Travis. Because they were already on to him so it's only a matter of time kinda thing.

IMHO This season has to end with Dexter off'ing Travis. There is no other move. That's how every season ends.

I never really liked Quinn in any season, I was hoping Dexter killed him.
