The cops find Liddy. Deb has seen Liddy with Quinn. LaGuerta knows Liddy is dirty.
Deb knows that Quinn was looking at Dexter in connection with Trinity/Rita.
The cops find the equipment in Liddy’s Van/House and trace it back to the forged request.
They toss Quinn’s house and find the photos of Dexter and Lumen.
They find blood on Quinn’s shoe, take him into custody and take the shoes as evidence.
Dex takes the shoes and uses them to create new castings, tossing suspicion on Quinn for helping the “Vigilante”.
Just my two cents…
And, I did like the way Dex put the beatdown on that punkazz stepfather…
Liddy actually saved Quinn’s life by letting Dexter know Quinn is an unenthusiastic accomplice at best. I do think the blood on his shoe, which Dexter knows nothing about at this point, will implicate Quinn though, unless Liddy’s death is ruled a suicide (guy in professional ruin and all that).
not sure you can stab yourself in the chest that way as a suicide - not to mention that Dexter took the knife with him.
I’m more surprised that Dexter disposed of the laptop in that manner - too close to the crime scene - not to mention that Dexter’s DNA would be all over that van.
The blood on the shoe was absolutely meant to imply that Quinn will get spotted by someone - and the previews clearly show who it won’t be.
As for the code questions - rule #1 has and always will be “self preservation” - don’t get caught - that was repeated over and over again in the earlier seasons.
Well, hopefully Dexter is the one to swab the van for DNA. If Masuka does it then Dexter will find a way to intercept the results when they come back from the lab.
Deb confessed to Dexter that she has feelings for Quinn. Dexter is kind of a marshmallow when it comes to Deb.
Dexter also realized that it was Liddy, not Quinn, who was spying on him. Because of Liddy’s oh-so-convenient phone call, Dexter knows that Quinn doesn’t have anything solid against Dexter.
Also courtesy of Liddy’s phone call, he knows that Quinn was a reluctant accomplice. He didn’t want to bust Dexter.
Remember that when Quinn knocked on the van door, Dexter could have surprised Quinn and taken him out very easily, in addition to framing him for Liddy’s murder, had he wanted to. He didn’t.
So…what I think will happen is this. Quinn will figure out that Dex is a vigilante. Maybe Dexter will confess that he took out the Barrel Girls’ Ring of Rapists, and/or that he took out Trinity. In either event, I think Quinn will figure it out.
Meanwhile, they’ll figure out that Quinn was the last person to speak to Liddy, and they’ll raid his home. They’ll take his shoes, with Liddy’s blood, into evidence. And who will become the holder of this piece of key evidence? Dexter!
So basically, they’ll have the goods on each other. And I think, out of mutual love for Deb, they’ll both agree to destroy the evidence and call it a day.
How they’ll accomplish this all in an hour is another thing entirely.
I think you’re on the right track, as someone I watched the preview with pointed out that Deb and Dexter aren’t actually on the screen at the same time, but shown alone one after the other
I was really hoping for a full explanation why Chase has this extreme aversion to touching/being touched (by women, specifically?); he never touched the rape victims, and he jerked away from Emily when she tried to touch him. What is that about, and where did his sickness come from? I don’t see how we can get all that in just one remaining episode, though.
Dex has been loose with the Code before… the pedophile never killed anyone, but Dex killed him just the same. I think “ascertain guilt” is becoming more crucial to him than what they’re guilty of. He felt bad about Oscar Prado because he’d never researched him beforehand to make sure he was guilty of anything. Dexter didn’t know if he was guilty or innocent when he killed him.
Wasn’t it a little convenient that the baby monitor was set to receive on exactly the same frequency as the bug Liddy placed was transmitting on? What are the odds of that?
Am I the only one who finds Quinn entertaining and interestingly ambiguous, and hopes he makes it through the finale?
It’s a little odd, but not impossible. My friend has one of those back-up cameras in his van, and it occasionally picks up security feeds when we pass certain buildings.
Would police surveillance devices operate it in the same neighbourhood of the spectrum that the FCC set aside for public unlicensed ISM devices, though?
It seems fairly commonsensical that baby monitors, private security, and back-up cameras might interfere with each other’s operation, 'cuz they are using the same part of a limited resource set aside for this type of use - but I would expect police surveillance to hang out somewhere else. Any radio nerds know for sure?
Yeah that makes sense that official uses would get their own designated bandwidth (I also wonder if they bother to use any kind of encryption). I guess we’ll have to hope that someone in the know will come along. I’ve also heard cordless phones on a baby monitor. But I’ve never heard police band stuff on another device.
I could see police surveillance using general-use bandwidth. Emergency services need a protected range because interfering with them could be a matter of life or death, but surveillance has no such urgency.
BTW does anyone else think that Stockholm girl will be picked as the vigilante? They’ll figure out she’s the first victim and that she was killed by Chase personally then they’ll assume Chase was in turn killed by her male accomplice.
I don’t know who they’ll decide her helper was though.
Yeah Emily’s my first guess for who the police will think is the vigilante. Maybe they’ll find some way to make Liddy look like her accomplice. What with the illegally checking out the police surveillance equipment and all. Though if that’s the case they’ll have to assume Chase lives. Unless Dex manages to dispose of Liddy before he’s found.
