Dexter Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

[DinoDB1975]

Well it was half truth not a full lie.
The Lie was that she was a drug addict, and that she went sober after killing her boyfriend. Fact was she is not an ex-drug addict, but a compulsive arsonist and sociopath, and she went to support groups as an attempt to feel other peoples emotions. She did kill a boyfriend, but felt no remorse

^ So I was right. Ok then.

Okay, so now I'm confused. Did she or did she not kill anyone?

I remembered her saying she set fire to her ex-boyfriend's place with him in it, killing him. But after Devil_666 said that was a lie, I looked up the season synopsis on Wiki and it said it was a lie. But like CelticP, I have no recollection of her saying it was lie.

 

[Devil_666]

Well there's two reasons.

1. Deb did a background check on her and found no mention of her being a suspect in any arson/murder investigation. Just that she was in the states illegally.

2. Lila was a pathological liar. So EVERYTHING she said is unreliable. So it's impossible to believe anything she said in any episode she appeared in.

No it does not say its a lie.

Lila was a compulsive arsonist, and was responsible for at least four fires:

She set her ex-boyfriend's house on fire while he was inside, passed out on drugs, killing him.
She set her loft on fire to get sympathy from Dexter, when they were drifting apart.
She set a cabin on fire in the Everglades, killing Sergeant Doakes.
She again set her loft on fire with Astor, Cody and Dexter inside, in an attempt to kill them all.

The lies are highlighted

She confessed to Dexter that she went sober after unintentionally killing her ex-boyfriend (see above) while intoxicated This is later revealed to be a lie; she is in fact a sociopath who hangs out in support groups as an attempt to feel emotions she is otherwise incapable of. She immediately sees through Dexter's "mask" and becomes obsessed with him, believing him to be her soulmate.

Here's an awesome video I found via Dexter's Twitter. Shows an awesome up close shot of the Kill Tools and Blood Slide box. The Blood box was made courtesy of our own General Frosty. You can get a Season 5 box here.

That's what I read, but I read over it quickly.

Thanks, Dino!

1. Because it was ruled off as an accident.

2. No. She killed her boyfriend. That's why she killed Doakes at the end. She wanted to be like Dexter in a sense that she had an MO. Which was setting fire. Plus she set fire to her whole apartment. It all comes full circle.

1. Nope. That would've been mentioned by Deb. She was already suspicious of Lila.. trust me that would be a HUGE red flag. No mention of any arson or any (ex)boyfriend dying in a fire. Nothing. The only "dirt" Deb found was that Lila was in the U.S. illegally on an expired Visa.

2. Nope again. She killed Doakes to protect Dexter. Because in her mind.. if Doakes escaped she'd lose Dexter (arrested) and she honestly thought Dexter would want her after killing Doakes.

 

[CelticPredator]

Dude, for once you're totally wrong. lol.



She said THEY RULED IT AS AN ACCIDENT. Why would they have her even in their radar if she fleed the scene before the police got there?

She killed Doakes to protect Dexter...but she STILL killed him the same way she killed her boyfriend. The arsenic stuff wasnt just thrown in there for ____s and giggles. It was a character trait. She kills her boyfriend with fire, she burns her apartment down twice with fire, and she kills Doakes with fire.

This is all facts shown in season 2. If you think everything she said was a lie, then maybe she didnt bring dinner to Dexter that one time. Maybe she brought breakfast. Maybe she's an Alien. She's a liar right? Maybe she lives in the sewer, and never lived in an apartment....if she cant be trusted.

Show me where it says she didnt kill her boyfriend with fire, and i'll say you're right. But the facts all said she did. The wiki, the episodes, everything.

 

[Devil_666]

I'll take that as an admission that Predators sucked and completely bombed domestically.

 

[CelticPredator]

I love Predators. And it's getting a sequel.

 

[Morbach]

Great episode last night. I think that was better than the season opener.

 

[ChaserFan]

Yeah, definitely was another great ep...loved the emotion Dex showed out on the balcony with Deb, and when the kids were driving away.

Btw, loved MCH on Letterman the other night!

He was on Regis and Kelly too. He's promoting his ass off

 

[Seditionary]

Last night's episode was awesome. It feels like you can have fun watching it again. I hope if Astor and Cody return things will be more resolved. The breakfast scene was almost there.

Is Quinn becoming likable?

 

[barryo]

Is Quinn becoming likable?

i'm thinking quinn is becoming extinguishable...................

 

[Devil_666]

What's up with Quinn's hair!? Did he visit the Bosley Medical Institute in between seasons!?

 

[ShadowX81]

Didn't really dig the episode last night. Seemed apsolutly ridiculous to do something as extremem as relinquishing all parental rights after a couple difficult days and some premature teenage angst by Astor. You would think after losing Rita, losing his kids too would be something Dexter wouldnt be willing to do without a serious fight.

 

[SwedishHeat]

I guess the idea is to hit the reset button. It's been a LONG time since we've seen him hunt somebody. He was always arm in arm with Trinity. So, they're probably just going back to basics.

I didn't notice though, is Harrison staying with Dexter??
