You can clearly see that Dexter is given a "place of power" in regard to the slides. Whether or not this is Lundy's chance to "trap" him is the only question

Soon enough we will know...

Did you notice that at the end of the preview there seemed to be a lot more slides in the case than before, just a curious observation. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Can you expound on your comment about a "place of power"? I'm not sure what you mean.

This episode looks really intense - I'm not looking forward to it. I don't want to watch Dexter get caught.

The title is a reference to the Borg on Star Trek the Next Generation. That's not the first Star Trek reference this season. Remember the task force debating the Manifesto? 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

By "place of power" this is waht I meant: It seemed to me that although the preview tried to make the viewer think that Dexter was being questioned and/ or arrested --- If you look over the preview more carefully Lundy is asking for Dexter's assistance. You don't ask somebody you've arrested for assistance. Asking, is something you do of a person who is in a place of power.

Perhaps Lundy needs assistance with the slides? That would be my guess. With that in mind you can look over the other given scenes, and realize that: Lundy might suspect Doakes as being The Bay Harbor Butcher. After all we know he stole the slides. And who would believe: Ol' "innocent" Dexter. Who after all is helping to idenify the blood of 'Doakes' slides.

*Wicked Laugh*

Just thinking about the next episode makes me smile. But of course, all of you will know before me. I do not have Showtime. Only my significant other does.

PS - Don't worry all: I'm not anti-spoiler. *shrugs* I've never seen the point...

Dokes has the slides and he's on the outs with the department. That's why he's setting up his own lab in the islands to process them. Anyone familiar with the books knows how this is going to end. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

So... Does Dex set him up? I've not read the books yet, but that's where I think the series is going... How different are the books from the series? I'm an avid reader, and would like to add them to my collection, but I didn't/ don't want to think as I read them, "Showtime made this so much better, " or, "Why didn't the show do/ try this?"

Ah! I don't want to know what happens in the books! I plan to start reading them after Season 2 ends. I want to see what the series does without having knowledge of the books...but if you guys want to discuss the books I'll just skip over those posts. :) :)

I don't think the books necessarily indicate where this will go. I can't wait until 9 o'clock!

Here's a question. We've speculated that the slides would be intercepted and Dex called in to examine them. If they belonged to Doakes, why would he have them analyzed? Or is the fact that they know he had them enough to get him accused of the murders?

I think the fact that he had them is what is going to put the nail in his coffin, for Lundy...

... You all get to see the epsiode tonight: Please, could somebody let me know what went on? Thanks...

So Doakes will never contact the guy in Haiti again. Will he come looking for Doakes? Will he find LaGuerta? Do you find this valuable?

Why did Doakes take the battery out of the phone? What does LaGuerta know about Doakes' last moves? Do you find this valuable?

He didn't just take the battery out - he took the card out and destroyed it. That meant that the ability to trace the phone ended there. If he ever calls her again, he'll use a disposable cell that can't be traced. Do you find this valuable?

Doakes and LaGuerta have an intense history, and only broke up because he couldn't deal with his issues. She probably nows exactly who he would contact and where he would try to hole up. Question is: what will she do if he disappears--doesn't show up dead? Then Dexter gets in HER crosshairs, as well.

They're setting LaGuerta up to be a major problem, which won't bode well for her. She may end up in the swamp or in the Gulf Stream, too if she goes after Dex. Do you find this valuable?

Those familiar with the books already know LaGuerta's fate...I'm more concerned about Lila's. I've really liked her character and her influence on Dexter's. Sure, she's bad news. All the more reason to keep her around. It doesn't seem like that's going to be the case. Do you find this valuable?

Well, the show isn't following the books, so I don't think we know for sure about LaGuerta, but at this point, if she tries to clear Doakes, I'd say it's a probability.

Lila is a great character. I can almost see her lasting until next season. Notice when he was thinking about her, he said "can't live with her, can't kill her, she's not going away..." Why can't he kill her? What is it about her that makes her off limits in Dexter's mind?

I a not going to read the books until after the finale on Dec. 16...I think that Lila will be around next season. She will rescue a "maimed" Doakes, LaGuerta will be killed in a shootout, can't figure out what Angel is getting a citation for, etc. As re: Dex not offing Lila at this point: on some level, don't we all want just 1 person to "get" us, leading some of us to constantly hook up with the wrong one...

I think it's pretty pointless referring to the books. Time to forget about them on and for all. Main characters' origin, main theme's origin, and also some plots MIGHT originate from them. But the future is completely open. They might pick up a thread from the book or not, they might even drop one after picking it up... Do you find this valuable?
