NOGirl2010 LAGUERTA AND BATISTA'S RELATIONSHIP - SEASON 5 6 Dec 9 2010, 2:04 AM EST by Carl61241

One word....JUICY, I would love to see an extremely happy relationship between the two, and I would also like to see something happen whereas Laguerta is stuck between a rock and a hard place and really have to make the most difficult decision ever. I'm not sure what this look like at the moment but give me a second....
I cannot wait to see how LaGuerta and Batista handles business and marriage. Personally, I dont believe it will last. Here's your #1 and #2 person in charge (Working AND Living together) I think it will take a toll on their relationship after a while...as hard as they may try to make it wok, it won't last. THOUGH, I HOPE IT REALLY DOES LAST.....

Where will Maria's story go in season 3? After showing how cold-hearted she can be in getting her career back on track, she seemed really shaken by the hunt for and eventual death of her close friend, Doakes. Is she going to let him take the fall as the Bay Harbor Butcher? Will she take on the role of being suspicious of Dexter?

Share your predictions for her character's direction in season three here.
