Dexter: 8 Possible Fates for Dexter Morgan

6. LaGuerta Will Kill Dexter

LaGuerta has a very small part to play in both series five and series six but is now back to being a big player. Like Hank in Breaking Bad, LaGuerta is hot on the tail of Dexter and is obviously being set up to be his main rival in the Miami Metro. This has kind of been slowly creeping forward from the very beginning of the show, but because her character has had a less important role in the series for a while this was kind of feeling unlikely for a long time. But now she is hot on his case, has one of his blood slides, and added to the fact that she never entirely thought Sergent Doakes was the Bay Harbor Butcher, it shouldn't take very long at all (at least if she was a good detective) to put the pieces together. If you also remember that in season 2 Doakes expressed his feelings to LaGuerta that Dexter was the Bay Barbour Butcher and that they were certain the butcher was part of the Miami Metro team, LaGuerta should make this discovery by the end of this current series at the very latest. A monkey could work it out really with the evidence she already has. Considering Doakes was like family to LaGuerta, if she found out that all this time Dexter knew that Doakes was innocent (and was partly responsible for his death), especially considering she herself has a fiery temper and gets what she wants, I could easily she LaGuerta at least wanting Dexter dead. However, LaGuerta won't murder Dexter, so the only real way his death will happen is if she catches him about to kill someone and is forced for example to shoot him in the head. Otherwise, it is much more LuGuerta's style to simply arrest Dexter. She would probably get a lot more pleasure out of it. Although this is a long time back now and many of you may have forgot, LuGuerta was originally introduced in the series and shown to have a strong crush on Dexter. This storyline has pretty much been scrapped and we have seen very little about both of the characters friendship, although we know they have a history and presumably at least have a strong respect for one another. If LaGuerta found Dexter out, she could quite possibly comfort him a little before arresting him, as she has expressed her desire that Doakes would have talked to her about his apparent crimes before he committed them (although he didn't).
