Re: Dexter Season 7
In the show, I think Dexter got rid of his slide box as a way to show Deb he's not like other serial killers, i.e., he doesn't need trophies. As a plot point, the blood slide found by LaGuerta at Travis Marshall's murder scene might be seen as reason to re-open the Bay Harbor Butcher case if she pursues it (as it appears she will) in an attempt to clear Doakes' name. If that's the case, Dexter has unwittingly disposed of a key piece of evidence that could have revealed him as the Bay Harbor Butcher. His "kill tools", on the other hand...I suppose we'll see how that plays out.
I'm curious about how they're going to work Lewis' murder into this season's story arc. Clearly the Russians suspect Dexter's involvement in Viktor Baskov's disappearance, but there has to be a reason they specifically showed Lewis' blood dripping onto the deck of Dexter's boat. If this were any other show I'd think the Russians would use that to somehow set Dexter up for Lewis' murder, but Isaak Sirko (Ray Stevenson) seems to be too much of a "hands on" kind of guy for that to happen; he'd want to get revenge for Baskov's death personally. Then again, at this point the Russians seem to believe there was a conspiracy of some kind at Miami Metro that led to Baskov's death, so...who knows.
This is shaping up to be one of Dexter's best seasons; I just hope the writers don't wimp out and/or drop the ball as they have in the past.
Doubtful, since Miami Metro wouldn't have legal access to any evidence in FBI storage; at this point Dexter would have no reason to expect he would get it back.
