Indeed. he would never do that. Even with Doakes they found some lame excuse for him to not do it.
The laguerta stuff is probably for the next season. Dexter will fall because of the only thing that protected him so long, his code, since he won't be able to kill Laguerta.
I though first rule was "Don't get caught"
Still he can only kill who deserves it. He can only kill serial killers. That's the reason why he couldn't kill Doakes.
Well, he killed the hitman after Sirko in a swift moment. I know it's different with Laguerta, but still, if the moment comes where it's kill or get caught/killed, I don't think Dexter will flinch.
Laguerta didn't do anything wrong like a hitman would. In addition, that guy shot at Dexter and was pretty hostile to him.
Like I said, I know it's different, but he WILL kill Laguerta if it comes down to it as the very last resort. First rule, don't get caught, overrides the second one, never kill an innocent.
If you think Dexter will kill someone innocent just to protect his identity I think you've been watching a different show.
Hes already killed an innocent person just to make himself feel better...am I the only one that remembers the redneck he bludgeoned to death?
I remember and I agree, Dexter and/or Deb are going to kill LaGuerta

He also killed the suspected pederast after Astor, so yeah, I think he might kill a non-killer if it comes down to getting caught or killing.
Hannah kills La Guerta. Deb kills Hannah. Dexter has sex with his new killer sister/girlfriend/boss/irlexwife. Sorry to ruin it but im pretty sure thats what is going down.

That would be so sad... I prefer something more dramatic -> Isaac kills LaGuerta (favor of Dexter "helping" to kill his assassin), Deb kills Isaac and Dexter is forced to kill Deb (because Deb has problems after killing Isaac) to keep secret. Dexter and Hannah gets baby -> married (or married -> baby).

Nah Dexter loves Deb. He's spent too much time trying to protect her to just off and kill her. I'm not buying it.

In my opinion it felt like the first season at least tried to make it clear that killing innocent people is an absolute no go and while he was afraid of getting caught and what e.g. Deb would think, he would not kill someone innocent to stay free.
Now the problem is the show's script has gone to complete shit some seasons ago and him having a "codex" of not getting caught is fucking ridiculous. The guy breaks into houses all the time without proper preparation, he runs around in public buildings with weapons, he calls the police to call in a possible murder (season 6, the ship stuff) and has no issues with them probably recording the voice / recognizing him and if he wants to kill someone he does anything but a real thorough investigation beforehand.
Nah the script is just fucking terrible which is why stuff like the bludgeoned guy happened. Dexter also constantly switches between "I feel emotions like everyone else" and "I'm an emotionless serial killer that none could probably understand".
now i feel like Isaac definetely kills LaGuerta because shes onto dexter and if he doesnt kill her, dexter ends up behind bars and isaac cant take revenge.

The character in the show is laughable by now.
Certain things like preparations and investigations are good at start. However, as the show goes on, people are already informed about his process and repeating it all over again every times he kills someone does more harm than good.
If they did show that every time we'd be a couple of seasons back plot-wise.

See: Season Two for a reference on this dilemma.
Also, comparing Dexter killing that asshole (albeit innocent) to killing Doakes/LaGuerta is a HUGE stretch.

”You learn what you need to kill and take care of the details…Its like changing a tire…The 1st time you’re careful…By the 30th time, you cant remember where you left the lug wrench.”–Ted Bundy
All that needs to be said. Your irrational, you have a poor understanding of serial killing, art, and the necessities of writing a show.
I think it's silly to use the code as a tool for predicting Dexter's behavior when he has acted against the code so many times. In fact it's almost guaranteed that at some key point he will act against the code.
And to rain on everyone's parade, it's also pretty clear after all these seasons that this is not a show that is meant to be predictable. It's a show of twists and evolving characters so you simply don't know what new variable will enter the equation and what existing character is going to act out of line with their past. Of course there are many things that remain consistent or else it'd all be senseless and chaotic. But it's not a predictable show. Arguments can be made for so many predictions to the point that people are even making meta-predictions based on what they think the writers will write.
So instead of saying what I think will happen, I will be honest and say what I hope will happen: Quinn is pregnant with Dexter's baby.

I think many of Issac's actions/background bits have been predictable (saw the gay thing coming, his actions make sense from a revenge standpoint), but his character is the thing that really took me by surprise. Very interesting season.
