Yes, this was indeed a nail biting episode! Lila turned out to be creepy and scary. Wonder if she is out of the picture entirely or will pop up, causing more trouble. She's so damn edgy that she might dare to try something. What do any of you think?

Geesh, he still has the guy in the cabin to wrap up, right? And Doakes creepin' around - when he started taking off the front of the air conditioner I about fell off the sofa! And will they be able to trace Dex to the car that was checked out of the lot? Ohmagosh. I feel that Doakes will be holding that stash of blood stains over Dex's head - he really wants to get even. Wonder if Dexter will end up cutting Doakes up. I notice that they no longer show previews of what's coming up next week - ah, the suspense!!!

yea this was one of the best episodes ever.

Here's my prediction:

Doakes puts it together quickly, but doesn't take the slides with him and instead leaves them as they are and tries to figure out how to get a search warrant (which will prove more difficult than he'd like for legal reasons (I'm a lawyer, it's hard, and he can't just say "I saw the evidence", since although suspended, he's still a cop and can't violate Dex's constitutional right against illegal searches and seizures) and because everyone thinks Doakes is going crazy on a witch hunt).

Meanwhile, the body of Jimenez or whatever his name is is discovered "mid butchering". Lila is the only one who knows his connection to Dexter, and so she now knows, too.

Lila has a penchant for arson. She's upset at and afraid of Dexter at the same time - just like her ex. So, she goes to burn down his building and kill him. Only he survives. But his slide tray doesn't, and thus the only evidence linking him is gone.

Lila has, however, also killed other people in the building. So, Dexter now has a serial killer on his hands in the form of his ex, so he now has a reason to kill her.

Doakes and Dex obviously have to have some sort of showdown. My guess is Doakes tries to kill Dexter and Dexter successfully defends himself. After Doakes' previous assault on Dexter and Doakes' rep for being trigger happy, Dex is exonnerated.

That's as far as I'm guessing - but it'll sure make for interesting tv no matter what happens.

One of the best shows on tv in ages. Gotta love it.
