Where will Maria's story go in season 3? After showing how cold-hearted she can be in getting her career back on track, she seemed really shaken by the hunt for and eventual death of her close friend, Doakes. Is she going to let him take the fall as the Bay Harbor Butcher? Will she take on the role of being suspicious of Dexter?

Share your predictions for her character's direction in season three here.

dexter is a good series but it could be a GREAT show if they replaced carpenter and velez. neither one can act their way out of a paper bag.
