Talk:Lila West/@comment-35557521-20180614191022

I have said to a friend of mine that I liked Lila (she was an interesting serial killer). Yes she understood Dexter, but ironically so did his future mother-in-law, Gail...she praised the Bay Harbor Butcher for getting rid of society's garbage not realizing she was praising Dexter, even though she did not like or trust Dexter...but to say that Lila was good for Dexter is ridiculous...the only thing she was good for was hurting Dexter's relationship with Rita...or I should say helping Dexter hurt his relationship with Rita. Dexter was a good liar, but even he was not infallible. Doakes saw through Dexter (he knew Dexter was hiding something...the "fucktard" he called him), and sought to redeem himself, after facing possible dismissal from the force, but he got caught up in triangle: Dexter has to decide who lives. He kills Lila and lets Doakes live he could to prison for life and thinks what a scandal would do to Deb, Rita, the kids, his co-workers, et al. He Kills Doakes and lets Lila live, and he lets a sociopath move on with her life, free to terrorize anyone she pleases, including...Lila kills Doakes...that makes it academic for Dexter. He goes to Paris, business as usual for Dexter...
